The complete list is available here. Due to the holiday last week, many locations won’t be getting their shipments until Thursday instead.

Novel Review: Anathem
“When do we get to the good part?” he demanded.
“What do you have in mind, Arsibalt? Like in a spec-fic speely, where something amazingly cool-to-look-at happens?”
