What are you reading in 2026?

When we picked the books up yesterday, the clerk informed us there's a standalone novel set in the same series, so I imagine we'll pick that up at some time as well.

What book is this? Because as far as I'm aware, other than the upcoming graphic novel, there are no standalone books in the DCC series.

I think it was Operation Bounce House, but reading the description online it sounds like that's a standalone novel with a related - but outside the Dungeon Crawler Carl series - plotline. So I don't know. It's possible he was wrong.

Anyone read the new scalzi yet? Monsters in Ohio? Edit to add - big lol, releases November 3, so maybe no one's read it yet

That link has an "on sale" date in November, though there might be ARCs floating around.

To be fair, the series also fell off not long after that. If GRRM ever finishes Winds of Winter, I do wonder how it will be received. The genre has changed a whole lot in the 15 years and counting since the last book came out.

I've lost interest completely they've fallen off so much.

He's giving away an advanced copy. I should enter the drawing.

About a third of the way thru... Against a Dark Background....by Ian Banks. One of the books I found cheap in a used store in Scotland. Not the happiest book so far !

Good cheer is not a vibe Banks seems to aim for very much.

But does 'On Sale: 11/03/2026' mean 3 November, or 11 March ?

Given the "us" in the URL, I'd bet on 3 November.
