We have lucky 13 in this week’s shelf stack. Considering that this is two weeks’ worth of stack, that isn’t too bad.
The most interesting book in the pile, at least for this week, is Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye. It’s a very alternate take on Jane Eyre, with this Jane coming to be governess at Highgate House after a career as a serial-killing vigilante. Faye’s brilliant take on Sherlock Holmes attempting to solve the Ripper killings in Dust and Shadow is one of my favorite Holmes’ pastiches. I can’t wait to see what she does with Jane!
Special note for those Browncoats out there. Into the Black is about real-life space travel and not Firefly. Still good.

Nice! I requested Into the Black as well – I’ve been a huge space shuttle nut since I was a kid – but haven’t gotten my approval yet.
Terrific books, They all look good!!
ooo, got me interested in Jane Steele – like the premise.
