Some late additions.
I’m happy to note that the rest of the Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn trilogy is now available on the Kindle, with the third available on the 14th and the other coming into being I don’t know when, because it’s difficult for me to keep track of the ever-growing backlists across 26 publishers/imprints in the Kindle store. I’m mentioning both with the rest of the updates.
Liberation: Being the Adventures of the Slick Six After the Collapse of the United States of America by Brian Francis Slattery
