Well the people have spoken and tomorrow I will begin my new recurring series of posts: New Releases. Every Tuesday (when applicable) I will post a brief summary of new releases for the week. I am focusing on books at the moment, but that does not mean you won't see the occasional comic, film or game slipped in. Remember though, I am not infallible. Please feel free to let me know of an upcoming releases that you care about so I do not miss them on Tuesday. That goes double for authors and publishers who want to make sure I give a shout out to their product. You all can contact me at ahwupdate@gmail.com.
Besides debuting our new series of posts, I will be reviewing 11/22/63 by Stephen King, Chris Nuttall will be reviewing the Stars and Stripes series by Harry Harrison and Tyler “Tbguy1992” Bugg will be writing a special post to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
Meanwhile, we got our first readers from Micronesia, Iran, Iraq and Gabon. Welcome! The map is really starting to fill in nicely.
