Here’s what I picked up on my most recent Amazon order — the first big order I’ve done there in a while (my local indy store didn’t have any of these in stock in hardcover except one of ’em):

• “Midnighters #1: The Secret Hour,” Scott Westerfeld
• “Magic or Madness,” Justine Larbalestier
• “Here, There Be Dragons (Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica),” James A. Owen
• “The Search for the Red Dragon (The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica),” James A. Owen
• “Mr. Sebastian and the Negro Magician: A Novel,” Daniel Wallace

In those book purchase, you can pretty much map out my writing projects for the rest of the year — a YA fantasy novel, a fantasy novel about maps, and a slipstreamish novel (rewrite) about a mixed-race baseball team.

Just doing research, honest! Later…
