Location: Dallas, Texas | Hello everyone and welcome to the book request thread! This is where you come to request a missing book be added to the WWEnd database.

- only books by authors already in the DB please - don't worry, we add new authors all the time

If you havent got the Homecoming series uploaded yet (didnt appear to be the other day, but havent checked every thread) here are all but the last (which I havent read yet)
The Memory of Earth (Homecoming Volume 1) (1992)
High above the planet harmony, the Oversoul watches. Its task, programmed so many millennia ago, is to guard the human settlement on this planet to protect this fragile remnant of Earth from all threats. To protect them, most of all, from themselves.
The oversoul has done its job well. There is no war on Harmony. There are no weapons of mass destruction. There is no technology that could lead to weapons of war. By control of the data banks, and subtle interference in the very thoughts of the people, the artificial intelligence has fulfilled its mission.
But now there is a problem. In orbit, the Oversoul realizes that it has lost access to some of its memory banks, and some of its power systems are failing. And on the planet, men are beginning to think about power, wealth, and conquest.
The Call of Earth (Homecoming Volume 2) (1993)
As Harmony's Oversoul grows weaker, a great warrior has arisen to challenge its bans. His name is Moozh, and he has won control of an army using forbidden technology. Now he is aiming his soldiers at the city of Basilica, that strong fortress above the Plain.
Basilica remains in turmoil. Wetchik and his sons are not strong enough to stop an army. Can Rasa and her allies defeat him through intrigue, or will Moozh take the city and all who are in it?
The Ships of Earth (Homecoming Volume 3) (1994)
The city of Basilica has fallen. Now, Wetchik, Nafai, and all their family must brave the desert wastes, and cross the wide continents to where Harmony's hidden spaceport lies silent, abandoned, waiting for the command to make the great interstellar ships ready for flight again.
But of these sixteen people, only a few have chosen their exile. The others, Rasa's spiteful daughters and their husbands; Wetchik's oldest son, Elemak, have been forced against their will. Their anger and hatreds will make the difficult journey harder.
Earthfall (Homecoming Volume 4) (1995)
The oversoul of the colony planet Harmony selected the family of Wetchik to carry it back to long-lost earth. Now grown into a tribe in the years of their journey to Harmony's hidden starport, they are ready at last to take a ship to the stars. But from the beginning there has been bitter dispute between nafai and Elemek, Wetchik's youngest son and his oldest.
But the oversoul is truly in control of this journey. It has downloaded a complete copy of itself to the ship's computers. And only Nafai, who wears the Cloack of the Starmaster by the Oversoul's command, really understands what this will mean to all their plans for the future.

Enchantment (1999)
The moment young Ivan stumbled upon a clearing in the dense Carpathian forest, his life was forever changed. Atop a pedestal encircled by fallen leaves, the beautiful princess Katerina lay as still as death while a malevolent presence stirred in the hidden depths below.
Now, years later, Ivan is compelled to return. He finds the clearing just as he left it. This time he does not run...

The Worthing Saga (1978)
It was a miracle of science that permitted human beings to live, if not forever, then for a long, long time. Some people, anyway. The rich, the powerful they lived their lives at the rate of one year every ten. Somec created two societies: that of people who lived out their normal span and died, and those who slept away the decades, skipping over the intervening years and events. It allowed great plans to be put in motion. It allowed interstellar Empires to be built.
It came near to destroying humanity.
After a long, long time of decadence and stagnation, a few seed ships were sent out to save our species. They carried human embryos and supplies, and teaching robots, and one man.

Location: Canada | And OSC's latest series...
Empire (The Empire Series Book 1) (2006)
The American Empire is growing too fast, and the fault lines at home are stressed to the breaking point. The war of words between Right and Left has collapsed into a shooting war, though most people just want to be left alone.
The battle rages between the high-technology weapons on one side and militia soldiers on the other, devastating the cities and overrunning the countryside. But the vast majority, who only want the killing to stop and the nation to return to more peaceful days, have technology, weapons, and strategic geniuses of their own.
Hidden Empire (The Empire Series Book 2) (2009)
When the American dream shatters into violence, who can hold the people and the government together?
Now a threat has appeared in Africa one that President Torrent has been waiting for. A deadly virus running like wildfire, killing nearly everyone who contracts it. Torrent's plan is to consolidate America's new imperial power by taking control of the chaos and finding an American cure. And, incidentally, to remove some troublesome former allies from the playing board. For good.

RAYMOND E FEIST
Faerie Tale (1988)
Phil Hastings was a lucky man he had money, a growing reputation as a screenwriter, a happy, loving family with three kids, and he'd just moved into the house of his dreams in rural upstate New York. Life was wonderful, full of magic and about to be altered irrevocably by a magic more real than any he dared imagine. For with the Magic came the Bad Thing, and the Faerie, and then the Fool... and the resurrection of a primordial war with a forgotten People a war that not only the Hastings but the whole human race could lose.

Location: Canada | Hi again
Here is my list of overlooked Larry Niven (& co-authored) novels.
KNOWN SPACE (Ringworld Prequels)
LARRY NIVEN AND EDWARD M. LERNER Fleet of Worlds (2007)
Humanity has been faithfully serving the Citizens for years, and Kirsten Quinn-Kovacs is among the best and brightest of her people. She gratefully serves the gentle race that rescued her ancestors from a dying starship, gave them a world, and nurtures them still. If only the Citizens knew where Kirsten's people came from.
A chain reaction of supernovae at the galaxy's core has unleashed a wave of lethal radiation that will sterilize the galaxy. The Citizens flee, taking their planets, the Fleet of Worlds, with them.
Someone must scout ahead, and Kirsten and her crew eagerly volunteer. Under the guiding eye of Nessus, their Citizen mentor, they explore for any possible dangers in the Fleet's path - and uncover long-hidden truths that will shake the foundations of worlds.
LARRY NIVEN AND EDWARD M. LERNER Juggler of Worlds (2008)
For too long, the Puppeteers have controlled the fate of worlds. Now Sigmund is pulling the strings...
Covert agent Sigmund Ausfaller is Earth's secret weapon, humanity's best defense against all conspiracies, real and potential - and imaginary - of foes both human and alien. Who better than a brilliant paranoid to expose the devious plots of others?
He may finally have met his match in Nessus, representative of the secretive Puppeteers, the elder race who wield vastly superior technologies. Nessus schemes in the shadows with Earth's traitors and adversaries, even after the race he represents abruptly vanishes from Known Space.
As a paranoid, Sigmund had always known things would end horribly for him. Only the when, where, how, why, and by whom of it all had eluded him. But even Sigmund has never imagined how far his investigations will take him - or that his destiny is entwined with the fates of worlds.
LARRY NIVEN AND EDWARD M. LERNER Destroyer of Worlds (2009)
The brilliant, xenophobic Pak are fleeing the chain reaction of supernovae at the galaxy's core. Any civilization that could possibly interfere lies shattered in their wake. And now the Fleet of Worlds is in their sights.
The trillion Puppeteers who inhabit the Fleet might have the resources to confront this threat - but Puppeteers don't confront anyone. They need allies to investigate the situation and then take action.
Sigmund Ausfaller, former Earth intelligence agent and current paranoid, finds himself leading the war against the Pak. With his own allies the enigmatic, aquatic Gw'oth Sigmund prepares to face the enemy. And neither humans nor Gw'oth have any intention of becoming cannon fodder.

Finding themselves abandoned by the new regime, the once-thriving space colonies must now replenish their air from scoopships that illegally dive into the atmosphere. But when Alex and Gordon's ship is hit by a missile, they are sent tumbling to Earth - only to be hunted by authorities with ghastly plans for the two...

JANNY WURTS MASTER OF WHITE STORM
Galley slave, mercenary, master of White Storm
His past is a mystery even to Haldeth, fellow galley slave and the one man hed allow to name him friend. Korendir had sworn that the future would give him the wealth to build an unbreachable citadel against dangers both mortal and sorcerous. And, again and again, Korendir dared the impossible, facing the perils of a wizard-cursed kingdom, the dangers on an elementals wrath, fatally poisonous attacks by a race of wereleopards, and finally winning the fortress he sought White Storm. But the siren call of danger would not let him rest in the stronghold hed so carefully built. And only time would tell whether death would defeat him before he found a prize far beyond riches the only treasure that could truly bring him peace...

KATHARINE KERR
Daggerspell (The Deverry Series Volume I) (1986)
Even as a young girl, Jill was a favorite of the magical, mysterious Wildfolk, who appeared to her from their invisible realm. Little did she know her extraordinary friends represented but a glimpse of a forgotten past and a fateful future. Four hundred years and many lifetimes ago, one selfish young lord caused the death of two innocent lovers. Then and there he vowed never to rest until he'd righted that wrong and laid the foundation for the lives of Jill and all those whom she would hold dear: her father, the mercenary soldier Cullyn; the exiled beserker Rhodry Maelwaedd; and the ancient and powerful herbman Nevyn, all bound in a struggle against darkness...and a quest to fulfill the destinies determined centuries ago.
Darkspell (The Deverry Series Volume II) (1988)
Inextricably bound to the fate of the land, Nevyn, Rhodry, and Jill struggle to unite the humans of Deverry with the mysterious and once-hostile race of Elves. But the sinister and powerful sorcerers of Annwn know that any alliance between the two races will threaten their own evil dominion and so they strike out against the union in an uneasy alliance of dark forces. Now the ancient and cunning wizard, Nevyn, must recue his comrades and the destiny of Deverry and save himself from Annwn's deadly magic...
Dawnspell: The Bristling Wood (The Deverry Series Volume III) (1989)
Over a thousand years ago the People of Deverry were driven from their splendid kingdom by their enemy, the Hordes, and forced to find sanctuary in the remote forests in the east of their lands where they eventually settled. Succeeding generations remembered these terrible events as the Burning and they never forgot the cities, towns, and mrvles of the far far west.
(US) The Dragon Revanent / (UK)Dragonspell: The Southern Sea (The Deverry Series Volume IV) (1990)
For years the provinces of Deverry have been in turmoil, but the conflict escalates to new heights with the kidnapping of Rhodry, heir to the throne of Aberwyn. Intent on rescuing him, his beloved Jill and the elven wizard Salamander infiltrate the distant land of Bardek, where Rhodry is held captive.
Tied to Deverry by bonds of obligation, the immortal wizard Nevyn begins to see that all its problems originate from a single source his ancient enemy, a master of dark magics, backed by a network of evil that stretches across the sea. With this realization, Nevyn understands that he too is being lured to Bardek, and into a subtle and deadly trap...

Gregory Benford
The Martian Race (1999)
As NASA bogs down in politics, tycoon John Axelrod mounts a privately funded expedition to the Red Planet. Axelrod's not high-minded - he expects the televised flight to net him billions. But for astronaut-scientists Julie, Viktor, Marc, and Raoul, the mission's not about money. It's about discovery...and surviving for two years on a frigid alien world that can kill them in countless ways. For a time will come when in order to live the explorers must embrace everything that makes them human...and everything that will make them Martian.

Location: Canada | I've mentioned this one previously when discussing the omission of Crighton and Alan Dean Foster.
James Kahn
James Kahn's books include the trilogy World Enough, And Time, Time's Dark Laughter, and Timefall and several film novelizations, including Return Of The Jedi and Poltergeist. He has also written for television. An emergency-room physician, he lives in Los Angeles.
The Time Series
1: World Enough, and Time (1980)
Joshua green the scribe and his friend, the centaur Beauty were at the beginning of a desert journey to find the creatures who had destroyed their homes and stolen their wives. Their quest would not be easy, for according to a mortally wounded witness, the attackers had included a Vampire, a Griffin, and a monstrous mutant. And between the hunters and the hunted lay the suspicious minions of King jarl the Bearman an army of intelligent animals and mythic beasts. Their forebears had been crafted centuries before by human genetic engineers who had unknowingly sown the seeds of their own destruction.
2: Time's Dark Laughter
3: Timefall
Unfortunately I've never found the last two books of the series

@bluegargoyle: That is a goal I understand! There are many books I personally want to add so I can mark 'em as read. I was excited when the request for the Homecoming series came in because I had forgotten I read all those.
@Dustydigger: I don't get as much sleep as I really need, who does these days, but I sleep really well when I've gotten a bunch more books added to the site and I see you guys tagging away! I'm glad you like the horror improvements and I can tell you we have another big one coming mid-month that I think will be a big hit.

Location: scotland | I have read the first four Odd books. They are all OK but they all tend to jump around, lurching from fairly tame chapters to some real edge of the seat stuff.
I can remember all the sections that did it for me. When Koontz gets really creative its a pleasure to read, unfortunately the whole book is not as good as I remember from his early novels.
Worth reading however as they are memorable characters and you just gotta know what happens! |

Location: Karachi, Pakistan | Hello,
Just wanted to suggest 'The Light Ages' by Ian R. MacLeod. It is the first book in his 'Aether' series and since the second book, 'The House of Storms' is part of the Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels 1985-2010 list, I thought it would be nice to complete the series on WWE.

This is the first sentence in his Coyote novel synopsis: "Coyote marks a dramatic new turn in the career of Allen Steele, Hugo Award-winning author of Chronospace."
So I guess Chronospace is Aleen Steele important book. |

Location: Gunnison, Colorado | Since you’re looking to add more women authors as part of the new challenge, here are a couple I’d like to include, but that don’t seem to be in the database: Margaret St. Clair was a prolific genre writer from the mid-‘40s through the ‘70s. I came across her stories browsing issues of F&SF and Galaxy from the early ‘50s. The quality of the prose and the strange moody tone caught my attention. I might try The Best of Margaret St. Clair or the novel Agent of the Unknown (1956) for the challenge. Francis Stevens (pseudonym of Gertrude Barrows) had a short but influential career in the pre-Gernsback pulps during the late 1910s and early ‘20s. The Citadel of Fear is one of Cawthorn and Moorcock’s 100 Best fantasy novels (and is the one I’d like to add for the challenge), and The Heads of Cerberus has been cited as possibly the first parallel/alternate world novel. Also one of Cawthorn/Moorcock’s 100 Best is Black Magic (1909), by Marjorie Bowen, a picturesque medieval Gothic novel about a cross-dressing antichrist Pope (!), that I read a couple of months ago and could add a review of. |

Location: Rockford, IL | With the Women's Challenge starting now you might want to add the rest of Patricia Briggs' and Katharine Kerr's books and you are completely missing C.E. Murphy and Mercedes Lackey, both of whom have lots of good books out.
--Kerry aka Trouble
ETA: Also missing are Michelle Sagara/Michelle West ( she publishes under both married and maiden names), Jennifer Fallon, Kim Harrison, Patricia Bray, Carol Berg, Rachel Caine.
No wonder my list of women authors I have read was so tiny - you are missing a lot of the ones on my shelves.

Location: Dallas, Texas | @controuble: Welcome to WWEnd and the WoGF Reading Challenge! I'm glad you found us even if you've found us wanting  Yeah, the only downside to this challenge is that it pretty much shows up how many women authors we don't have in our database. ;( But hey, that's part of why we're doing it in the first place. We're committed to adding a minimum of 100 new women authors to our site this year and your list will certainly be in that number. Some of those authors I don't recognize but Mercedes Lackey and C. E. Murphy are palm to the head obvious omissions that make me cringe for their absence. Not the first time that has happened nor will it be the last. (We somehow had bypassed Douglas Adams for years before someone pointed it out to us!) We'll get around to all these as time permits but Lackey and Murphy I'll move to the top of the list after the books we have in train are added. If there is an author you're going to read right now for January let me know and I'll get them in sooner so you can tag them. Cheers! |

Location: Rockford, IL | Thanks, but I tagged my 12 - funny thing is that 11 of them are already sitting in my TBR piles. Yes, plural. They are new-to-me women authors that were recommended by people I know, so I just marked those books as Owned and On My Reading List.
A couple more for you - Charlaine Harris, Faith Hunter, Jody Lynn Nye - on my shelves, not in your DB.
Three of Tanya Huff's series seem to be missing, too - the Quarters books, the Keeper books, and the newest Gale books.
Laura Anne Gilman's Cosa Nostradamus books and the follow-on Paranormal Scene Investigations books.

Location: Rockford, IL | Your poor database does not seem to know that Rosemary & Rue by Seanan McGuire is the first book in a series. The series is called October Daye and the next books are A Local Habitation, An Artificial Night, Late Eclipses, One Salt Sea. Ashes of Honor and coming in September will be The Chimes at Midnight. The third book in the Newsflesh Trilogy is called Blackout. Her newest series is Incryptid; the first book is called Discount Armageddon and the next will be out in March called Midnight Blue-Light Special.
I tried to use the Submit Series Details link but it evidently does not work from Chrome.

I am reading this book for a group read in a couple of months, so I figured I might as well tag it for the challenge, too, which led me to notice her misspelled name. |

The submit series info link is just an email link that should launch your default email. Not sure why your Chrome would not like it. I use Chrome and it pulls up my gmail just fine. You can right click the link and "Copy email address" to paste into your email client to get around it. @Tantara: I fixed Valerie Martin's name. Thanks for pointing it out! |

Location: UK | @ Galleyangel.I am a huge fan of Diana Wynne Jones.Lots of her so called juvenile stuff is very enjoyable for adults too,like the Howls Moving Castle sequence.Have you ever come across her Rough Guide to Fantasy book,the Hugo non fiction winner? It purports to be a guide to Fantasyland,but is really a wicked sendup of all the fantasy tropes/cliches.There must have been a lot of red faced authors if they read this book.Great stuff! Wynne Jones was massively popular in the UK,and it was so sad when she died in 2011.I would definitely recommend her as a witty and original writer for both children and adults. |

Hopefully you will soon get around to the missing Katharine Kerr novels I noted several months back. I appreciate it is a lot of work that you do.
Disappointed, however, that what seems like the entire bibliography of new authors with no awards nominations seems to get uploaded ahead of missing books from multiple award winners (Card, Niven, etc) that I also noted along with the Kerr novels (thanks for uploading Niven's Children of earth series, though). Also, Vernor Vinge's "Tatya Grimm's World" and "The Witling" are very good reads.
Regardless of this little grumble, the site is still one of my most important resources on the web. |

| Okay sorry if this list gets a little long -- I just started using BookTrackr yesterday so it's all very fresh in my mind!
Alice Bradley Sheldon -- I'm wondering if she should be listed as Tiptree? just cause probably that' the name most people will be looking for, not Sheldon.
Books:
Her Smoke Rose Up Forever
Star Songs of an Old Primate
Brightness Falls from the Air
Crown of Stars
The Starry Rift
Out of the Everywhere and Other Stories
Byte Beautiful
Joanna Russ -- We Who Are About To...
Markus Zuzak -- The Book Thief may or may not count as SpecFic, depending on how you look at it. It's got a personification of death? So that's something
Orson Scott Card:
Wyrms
Hart's Hope
Keeper of Dreams (short story collection)
Maps in a Mirror (short story collection)
The Worthing Saga
Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus
Songmaster
Treasure Box
Homebody
Enchantment
Magic Street
Ellen Klages -- Portable Childhoods
Tamora Pierce
The Song of the Lioness Quartet: Alanna: The First Adventure, In the Hand of the Goddess, The Woman Who Rides Like a Man, Lioness Rampant
The Immortals series: Wild Magic, Wolf-Speaker, Emperor Mage, The Realms of the Gods
Protector of the Small Quartet: First Test, Page, Squire, Lady Night
Tricksters duology: Trickster's Choice, Trickster's Queen
Circle of Magic: Sandry's Book, Tris's Book, Daja's Book, Briar's Book
The Circle Opens: Magic Steps, Street Magic, Cold Fire, Shatterglass
The Will of the Empress
Melting Stones
Diana Wynne Jones
Chrestomanci series: Charmed Life, The Magicians of Caprona, Witch Week, The Lives of Christopher Chant, Mixed Magics, Conrad's Fate, The Pinhoe Egg
Dalemark Quartet: The Spellcoats, Cart and Cwidder, Drowned Ammet, Crown of Dalemark
Derkholm series: Dark Lord of Derkholm, Year of the Griffin
Sylvia Engdahl -- Enchantress from the Stars
Again, sorry for the long list -- and apologies for the fact that I'm inevitably going to post in here with more things. |

Location: Gunnison, Colorado | @Nefario: I actually thought the same thing as I was requesting it. I had to look it up to make sure. I've just read through the whole series in rapid succession and have almost no idea which pieces of the series go with each book title (except for Explorer, my favorite so far). Precursor and Pretender have been used, but Protector is the one that just came out. As I write this, I can't even remember the title of the one I'm on now, but I know it's book 13, the first of the fifth trilogy (!). But I'm enjoying it, so what the hell... |

Location: Dallas, Texas | So, it's been a while since we got a batch of these done for you guys but we finally have some new books for you:                                    We also just added a bunch of new books for the WoGF reading challenge so there are some book requests from this thread, for books by women authors, that ended up over there. It was just easier to split along the gender line than to search through this thread for them. Happy reading! |

| Hello,
Been using the the site for quite sometime now. This will be my first post. I have always had good recommendations from lists and compilations that people post online for Scifi books. The books included in these lists might give users more exposure to a wider variety of sci fi.

I must have been bored so I did a bit of research and found some missing books you can add to the Easton Press list:
Found on current ebay auctions:
The Mysterious Island
The Engines of God
Virtual Death
These below were on the Easton press website:
Lensman saga - first six only, no Masters of the Vortex
The Land that Time Forgot trilogy
The Land that Time Forgot by Burroughs
The People that Time Forgot by Burroughs
Out of Time's Abyss by Burroughs
They Walk Among Us series
Who Goes There? by Campbell
The Puppet Masters by Heinlein
The Midwich Cuckoos by Wyndham
The Man who Fell to Earth by Tevis
The Invasion of the Body Snatchers by Finney
At the Earth's Core by Burroughs
You might also consider:
American Gods
She
Easton has an edition for these two out, but they're listed under fantasy. But since they're in the database anyway...

I've heard people describe Robert Reed as under-appreciated and I think I have to agree. If you've not read his work before, check out these new books from him.                                        We also added a bunch of new books and authors for the WoGF that you can see over here. Happy reading.

Last time we caught up with Steven Brust, this time we're talkin' a whole lotta John Barnes and a couple Michael Moorcock series that were sorely lacking along with lots of other authors. Enjoy! Oh, there's a bunch more over in the WoGF request thread too.

So sorry to be such a bother right off, but here is a list of young adult authors I am planning to read for that challenge. None of them were found in the book tracker.
Is there any way I could help with adding them & others as I suspect with these multiple challenges going on- you will get lots more of these requests. I read in forum of plan to streamline requests with a form- that should help some. If there is anything I can do- donating a bit of time typing up stuff or? glad to help support the site if I am able.
Marissa Meyers CINDER
Michelle Hodkins THE EVOLUTION OF MARA DYER
Melissa Wests GRAVITY
Myra McEntires HOURGLASS
Veronica RossisUNDER THE NEVER SKY

Also, Jeanette Winterson is not in the database. Two of her novels: Sexing the Cherry and The Passion qualify as magical realism (I think). And The Stone Gods is sci-fi. |

That includes a lot of series books that go along with the individual requests since we prefer to put the whole seies in at the same time. That way we won't have to come back later to fill in the gaps. So that's after less than 10 days since we launched the RYO.

It would be helpful for the challenge of that name. Thanks! Determining race for our 1,441 authors is not so easily done and woe to he who gets it wrong for just one author! We decided to go around that minefield and leave it to our members to decide for themselves who is and who isn't an author of color. We only track author gender because that's a simple either or option and it was essential to make the WoGF work and to help us work on our gender balance. And THAT was dicey enough for us! You wouldn't believe some of the negative reactions we had to deal with. I can only imagine the drek storm that would come from even simple mistakes regarding race and color issues. |

Usually either/or. I know of at least one SFF author who identifies as neither male nor female (Raphael Carter, who wrote the Tiptree Award-winning short story "'Congenital Agenesis of Gender Ideation' by K.N. Sirsi and Sandra Botkin"). Which isn't at all to imply that I disagree with tracking author gender on this site! It's great to have the list of women authors as a resource, and even better that WWEnd values and promotes female-authored works. I just thought it important to point out that even as "simple" a matter of identity as gender can get complicated for some people.
And re: authors of color, I know I have a bunch of offsite lists saved in my (sadly disorganized) bookmarks that could help participants in that challenge. I'll try to dig those up soon and post the links in the forums.

We mark authors M or F based on name, photo evidence and what we find online from their web sites etc. but certainly we could have missed others as well. We have at least one gender switch on the site: Poppy Z. Brite is now Billy Martin. We have Poppy as female because she wrote her books when she was female. If he(now) wrote a new book we'd probably create a new author record for Billy Martin and mark him male and link the authors to each other in the bio blurbs. I'm glad you have some lists to share because I'm sure they'll be helpful. Thanks!

| Hello,
Two authors/books I was hopping to add to my reading challenge for the 2014 Speculative Fiction by Authors of Color Challenge don't seem to be available right now.
"The Lives of Tao" by Wesley Chu
"Nexus" by Ramez Naam
also, each of these books has a sequel - "The Deaths of Tao" and "Crux". |

Under the Poppy by Kathe Koja
Black Opera by Mary Gentle
The Accursed by Joyce Carol Oates
Possession by A.S. Byatt
The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
I'm not sure I'd classify Possession as fitting any of the genres covered by WWE. Similar in structure to The French Lieutenant's Woman it is a literary detective novel with two modern day academics researching the possible affair between two Victorian poets.
It is a wonderful book, however. If you haven't read it I'd also recommend Byatt's "The Children's Book" based on the life of children's author Edith Nesbitt. |

This post on the Tor blog says that it could be considered fantasy because it includes folk and fairy tales.
Also, both this site and this one include Possession in a list of recommended reading for the gaslamp fantasy subgenre.
Additionally, I've seen several comparisons between Possession and Mortal Love by Elizabeth Hand (which is in the database). For example, there is this quote on Hand's website: " Mortal Love contains numerous echoes of A.S. Byatt's Possession."

| Well that's their opinion but I don't see that writing about somebody who writes about fairies is the same as writing about fairies. The fantasy in the book is subsidiary to the main plot which is highly literary as are all Byatt's novels. It is more commonly described as a detective novel or in some places as a adultery novel.
The actual writing about fairies and folktales is in the form of poems as Byatt emulates the work of her two Victorian characters. These are loosely based on Christina Rossetti (The Goblin Market) and Alfred Tennyson (Idylls of the King). The main point of introducing such work is to evince Victorian sensibilities they were quite obsessed with mythology and fairytales all the while they were sending their children to work in mines and sweatshops.
I have no objection to adding the book. It is up to the administrator after all but adding it would, I think, greatly expand the guidelines of what can be added to the site. I'm surprised the blogger didn't mention Byatt's "The Children's Book" which I alluded to above. Edith Nesbitt was a Children's author who wrote about magic a subject which she knew very well as she was a member of the Golden Dawn Society with Alastair Crowley and W. B. Yeats. The book contains several instances of these tales as well as recounting an incident where one of her children escapes to the forest and tries to turn into a fox as per David Garnett's novel "Lady into Fox". If you would allow "Possession" then I think "The Children's Book" would be equally valid. Perhaps the blogger has not gotten around to it yet.
I guess when you are dealing with meta-fiction of this nature the question becomes how many meta levels you are prepared to encompass before the genre becomes too dilute.

Location: The Netherlands | And it's up. I haven't listed is as part of a series. It turns out to be a collection of material that also includes Hitchhiker stuff. Also, some editions have a slightly different content than the one I listed (which is the first UK edition). |

Novellas published as separate publications, right? Or am I misunderstanding something? |

So here is what's missing so far:
Brave New Worlds, ed. John Joseph Adams (Short fiction antho)
Bradamant's Quest, Ruth Berman
Black Bradley and the Mercenary Captain, Nathan Boole
Stone Soldiers, C.E. Martin
The Ice Owl, Carolyn Ives Gilman
Cthulhu Mythos Writers Sampler 2013, ed. Conyers, David
Dragon's Fall: Rise of the Scarlet Order, David Lee Summers
Eutopia: A Novel of Terrible Optimism, David Nickle
The Dulwich Horror 1927 A New Tale of the Cthulhu Mythos, David Hambling
The Wildman, Rick Hautala
Walk the Fire (1 and 2), John Mierau (short fiction)
Things Slip through, Kevin Lucia (short fiction)
The Lady Astronaut of Mars, Mary Robinette Kowal
Quarter Share; Half Share; Full Share; Double Share; etc. Nathan Lowell
Drink for the Thirst to Come, Lawrence Santoro (short fiction)
Just North of Nowhere, Lawrence Santoro (short fiction)
Monstrosities, Jeremy C. Shipp
The Void, Brett J. Talley
Rising Shadows, Ashley Townsend
The Day after and other stories, Wil Wheaton
Let's start there. :-) |

| I added the first seven books of Incarnations of Immortality. The publisher for the eighth book in the series isn't in the WWE db, so it can't be added yet (apparently, based on the Amazon reviews, it's so bad that Anthony couldn't find a "real" publisher for it...).

| Book eight is Under a Velvet Cloak (2007). Eight Amazon reviewers give it five stars, 22 give it one star, and 39 give it from two to four stars.
Some highlights (lowlights?) from some of the one star reviews:
The entirety of the novel(la) feels as though it were written by Stephanie Meyers, having been told "Do what you've always done, make tons of spelling and grammar mistakes, write it so a 2nd grader doesn't feel challenged but make every single character have sex with every other character. Badly.
In the end notes, he acknowledges that the peak of his success was 15 years ago. It is easy to see why after reading this.
The first several chapters are essentially a paean to pedophilia. I guess some people will read anything...

Phoenix Pick has tons of well-known authors on their roster and is deserving of inclusion here at WWE. Rick Hautala was published by numerous small presses of which Dark Regions Press is probably the most well-known, specializing in Horror and Science Fiction (fiction as well as poetry). DRP would be well worth your while to add.
Thanks!

Yep, I was thinking that when I put it up (except that it's predecessor, Horror: 100 Best Books would probably make a better initial candidate).

Location: The Netherlands | Tim, that list of yours is a mess of missing authors and publishers (of the original edition). There also appears to be a few that have been published under other titles.
I've added Almuric by Howard, both Silverbergs and Steppe by Piers Anthony. I don't think we'll be adding The Black God's Kiss by C.L. Moore as there already is a collection with exactly the same content in the database under the title Jirel of Joiry. The rest will take a bit of time to sort out.
spectru: I've added your request. |

If you haven't yet read the Diving Universe novels, I highly recommend them as well. I read the first book and liked it very much. Should try and get around to book 2 some day. It's in my book stacks somewhere As an FYI to all I will be out of town until July 14 so there won't be any cover images going in for the next 10 days. That does not mean there won't be any new books though so get those requests in. It's going to look a little bare without the pics but I'll catch up when I return. I suspect there will be a couple hundred to do at least. I'll try and check in here whilst I'm away but I will likely be scarce so keep the faith until I return! |

| I'll be working on that list over the next few days, Illegible. The Amazon/Hachette dispute makes things complicated, though, and I don't like adding stuff with "expected" publication dates (because if publication is delayed then we could have an erroneous entry in the DB).
Memory of Water is already in the DB -- are there problems looking it up? |

| FeminineFantastique Memory of Water is already in the DB -- are there problems looking it up? If you search for "Memory of Water", you find it. If you search for "Itaranta", as I did, you don't. Hmmm. I guess it's because of the diaeresis. My bad.

I noticed there's the SF Masterworks UK edition, but I don't know if the US version is different enough? The UK and the USA editions are exactly the same except for the introduction (by Willis in the USA version and by Tuttle in the UK version) and a slight difference in title. Otherwise, the stories, pagination, etc. are exactly the same. I've changed the title to Time Is the Fire: The Best of Connie Willis aka The Best of Connie Willis - hopefully this will clarify things, even thought the title looks like a bit of a muddle now.

| I believe that this is where I go to ask for additions?
Hi, this is my first post.
I am pleasantly surprised at some of the books on here and surprised at some of the books not on here. Overall a good list of books.
these are books I want to and plan on reading at some point and it would be cool if they were added to the database. I might read them regardless and perhaps some other readers might as well.
You have these Authors already in Database except you don't have these books of theirs.
Isaac Asimov
All the books have stories elsewhere but These are good collections.
The Best of Isaac Asimov (1973)
The Complete Robot (1982)
The Best Science Fiction of Isaac Asimov (1986)
The Asimov Chronicles: Fifty Years of Isaac Asimov (1989)
Holly Black
The Spiderwick Chronicles (one of her most popular book series)
Murray Leinster
First Contacts: The Essential Murray Leinster (1995) Has many of his award winning stories
Tanith Lee
Indigara: Or, Jet and Otis Conquer the World (2007) Sees like it would be a good YA novel.
Gregory Maguire
Dickens: The Story of a Rogue Tooth Fairy (2007)
Daniel H Wilson
Where's My Jetpack?: A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future that Never Arrived (2007)
A Boy and His Bot (2011) Seems Like it would be a good young adult novel.
You have several Children's Classics except these
Wizard of Oz Series by L Frank Baum, but you do have Oz Reimaged.
Peter Pan J.M. Barrie
Neverland and Oz deserve a place next to Narnia, Wonderland, and the place in Wind in the Willows.
Also I have recently read
Influx (2014) by Daniel Suarez. which is either Sci Fi or a techno thriller with Sci Fi elements.
Anyway those are my suggestions I bring to the table for addition if possible. I'm sure I'll have more at some point. But I don't want to over do it in my first post.

Just wondering if my post was actually looked at or not. Books are added to the database by our Uber User volunteers. There is no schedule or requirement on their time and they come in and out as their personal time/inspiration/pleasure permits. Right now we're in a bit of a lull because of summer vacations and school gearing back up etc. I can't give you any kind of estimate but your requests will be gotten to by and by. |

Location: The Netherlands | illegible_scribble, you're listing a number of books that won't be out for a bit. We could add some of them but for many the cover art, synopsis, excerpts and/or links to amazon en audible would be missing. It is a bit of a pain to have to go back over them again once the info becomes available so we'd prefer to add them closer to the publication date. I added the Gladstone and the Wexler. May have time to do a few more this afternoon. |

I knew that the background "world" for most of his stuff was pretty consistent in most of his novels and stories, but I didn't know it was all considered part of one "series". I suppose for the ones which are clearly subseries, like Starship and Widowmakers and Santiago, it probably makes sense to classify them as separate series, like Jack Campbell's two different Lost Fleet series.

Location: Fort Myers, Florida USA | Amnesia Moon by Jonathan Lethem. This has been recommended to me to read. It's named in his biography here on WWE but the book itself isn't listed. From the book's blurb: "In Jonathan Lethem's wryly funny second novel, we meet a young man named Chaos, who's living in a movie theater in post-apocalyptic Wyoming, drinking alcohol, and eating food out of cans...." Post-apocalyptic is generally classified as SF, isn't it.? Perhaps Amnesia Moon is omitted for some reason, but if not, please add it. |

Location: The Netherlands | Right now almost anything we add (there are a few exceptions) are works that have a traditionally published dead tree edition. There are a few publishers who still do shorter stuff so some of it ends up in the database. It doesn't necessarily have to be a certain length. Wakulla Springs, as far as I know, has only been published online, same goes for The Water That Falls On You From Nowhere. Were looking into expanding the short fiction in the database so we can start covering those awards categories as well, but we're not quite ready for that yet. When we are, you can be sure that we'll have a go at the stuff on Tor.com |

| The only non-novels I've seen in the database are all novellas: Unlocked, Wakulla Springs, The Heavenly Fox, Silently and Very Fast, Six-Gun Snow White, Equoid, and Burning Girls. With the exception of the first (released this year), all the rest were award nominees. Note that the Mythopoeic Award nominees can be novels or novellas; they don't have separate categories for those, so those which are novellas are going to be in the WWW database by default. The Water That Falls on You From Nowhere is a short story (and an award nominee).
I'll be delighted when the WWW db permits us to track the other categories (novella, novelette, short story). But the Hugos, Nebulas, Locus, and I don't know how many of the other awards, have separate categories like this -- so getting them all in the db is going to be a massive job. |

I think we are all very curious to see how that new feature will work with the interface that we are all used to. Once we can add short stories, the Tiptree Award can be added, which has been a collective goal for a very long time.

Library Thing has it at 14 and ISFDB at 13. According to Asaro the series branches at one point and then the plot streams diverge. Usually, if the novels are numbered I take ISFDB. (Sometimes ISFDB doesn't number and then I'll use other sources).
The problem seems to be a clash between series publication order and series chronological order.

Meanwhile, on the wiki...
Carnelians is 14, Undercity is 19, while the intervening numbers are either novelettes in anthologies or ebook only novels. I think that's why we're getting different numbers from different places.
I'd say we go with the wiki.

| Both her wikipedia entry and her official site ( www.catherineasaro.net ) lists the works in publication order and chronological order. I think you first have to decide which to use.
(Actually that would be an interesting site improvement, being able to see a series in either order with a button to select between them.)

I think you first have to decide which to use. (Actually that would be an interesting site improvement, being able to see a series in either order with a button to select between them.) Our standard default is publication order which is how Asaro's works are listed currently. We don't usually include short works or collections in the series though there are plenty of examples where we do for one reason or another. That's where the sequencing can be off compared to other sites. There are no hard and fast rules really. The vagaries of the publishing industry prevent that - just look at the Elric series for one prime example of series confusion. Sometimes you just have to pick a method and go with it. The arguments for publication order: Simplicity of listing: publication order is easily verifiable and is the most common method used. People expect that to be the default order. It also matches the numbering on the book covers, when there are numbers, which will prevent some confusion. That's the order in which the stories sprang from the author's imagination. We're along for the ride following the creative process in the same order as the author experienced it. Generally speaking an author's ability evolves over the course of years. You'll be reading progressively better told tales as you advance in a series as the author hones her craft. In chronologic order you could be getting to a book 3 that was written 10 years after the next book in line and then you'd be back 10 years for book 5. Pub order provides a smoother transition between books and lets you experience the author's growing ability more naturally over time. As for the toggle idea I think that would be a neat feature for down the road. It would take a lot of work to go through all the series and determine chronological order. There are more priority projects in front of it but if we could have that one the site it would be cool. |

I'd love it if the following books could be added. Thanks so much!
Death by Silver (Julian Lynes and Ned Mathey #1 ) by Amy Griswold and Melissa Scott
A Death at the Dionysus Club (Julian Lynes and Ned Mathey #2 ) by Amy Griswold and Melissa Scott
Boxers (Boxers & Saints #1 ) by Gene Luen Yang
Saints (Boxers & Saints #2 ) by Gene Luen Yang
The twosome Death books by Scott and Griswold are now in.
I'm going to hold off on the Boxer - Saints books by Gene Luen Yang. I'm not clear on the policy for graphic novels. (I probably forgot.)
I put Through the Woods in only because I was almost finished before I noticed it was a graphic novel.
So, what is our stance? Or is it up to the Uber users? If they want to put it in, in it goes? or...?

Location: SC, USA | I like Dave's stance here. I think that adding graphic novels would bring in a whole new set of issues that we probably are not ready to contend with yet. Frankly, the addition of short stories and what that can mean are making me very nervous. I think we have to get through all of the issues that come with this new upgrade before we think about adding a whole new format. Just my two cents.

| Administrator - 2014-12-07 5:32 AM The arguments for publication order: Simplicity of listing: publication order is easily verifiable and is the most common method used. People expect that to be the default order. It also matches the numbering on the book covers, when there are numbers, which will prevent some confusion. That's the order in which the stories sprang from the author's imagination. We're along for the ride following the creative process in the same order as the author experienced it. Generally speaking an author's ability evolves over the course of years. You'll be reading progressively better told tales as you advance in a series as the author hones her craft. In chronologic order you could be getting to a book 3 that was written 10 years after the next book in line and then you'd be back 10 years for book 5. Pub order provides a smoother transition between books and lets you experience the author's growing ability more naturally over time. I've just finished reading all the Skolian Saga books in chronological (story) order -- and I have to say that while there is a difference, I did not notice a major change in the quality between the novels written earlier and those written later (such as you find with MZB's Darkover series). I suspect that Asaro had a great deal of the worldbuilding and the entire story arc developed before she published the first novel, and that helped to make the quality and continuity more consistent. An enhancement to toggle between publication vs chronological order would be awesome -- but my preference would be to implement Best Novella / Novelette / Short Story categories for those awards which have them. I know, I know, but one can dream. |

Actually, I thought it was great -- except for the sex scene on pages 244-246, which had me rolling my eyes, and which you may or may not want to skip. I love sex -- but in person, not in my SFF. Heinlein, Shepard, Delany, et al -- I have yet to see any SFF writer who I think does it well, such that it doesn't just detract from the plot and the action.

They're in. Sounds like interesting steampunk. They also remind me of Miyazaki's early work - Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Excellent movie. i wouldn't be surprised if there was influence or inspiration there. |

I'm with you, the dystopian thing gets a bit old -- though it's much, much harder to write an interesting story about a utopia. David Brin just posted on this topic, on Facebook: "A brilliant, beautiful paean to the optimism of my friend, Ray Bradbury, who did dystopias very well, but who actually believed in us and in our potential to be better than we are. Read this. It's brief. And Ray would tell you that it is time to rebel against the merchants of hopelessness and fear." http://www.npr.org/2015/01/02/373248603/for-the-new-year-ray-bradburys-buoyant-vision-of-the-future "Oh, to see WHY so many directors, producers and authors are churning out lazy, cliched, cookie cutter dystopias, see my explanation here. Once you understand their reason, you may despise them even more than the fear merchants at Fox:" http://www.davidbrin.com/idiotplot.html

Location: SC, USA | @Jontlaw I'm the one who added most of the Wordsworth books. Because of the nature of WWE, I set some rules for myself before I started: (1) the book had to have some supernatural element. All of the books that were strictly mysteries, like Arsene Lupin and Bulldog Drummond, do not belong in WWE. (No matter how much I like them). (2) Avoid duplication. How many versions of H. P. Lovecraft do we really need in WWE? Some works, like Uncle Silas and The Monk were already in WWE. (3) Add single authored collections, not anthologies. This means that I left out Children of the Night (Vampire Stories), The Werewolf Pack, Gothic Short Stories, Irish Ghost Stories, Scottish Ghost Stories, and Classic Victorian and Edwardian Ghost Stories. However, if you want the last group added, I don't think that anyone would argue with that. And if you know that some of the others that I thought were strictly mysteries have supernatural elements, then I will be happy to add those as well. Rhonda |

I got all but one in. Coming Soon Enough. That one doesn't seem to have an editor and it's an ebook only. I'm thinking it's a not at this particular moment for our database. Maybe later.

But that doesn't negate it's ebook only status.
I know, I'm a paper snob.

Thanks for those!
Coming Soon Enough was commissioned by the IEEE Spectrum for its 50th Anniversary: http://spectrum.ieee.org/static/coming-soon-enough-ieee-spectrums-first-science-fiction-anthology It is in the ISFDB, for whatever that's worth. So I don't know whether that meets WWE's qualifications for the database. Admin? |

Oh, and these additions to series already in WWE are just out, and need to be added:
A Murder of Clones: A Retrieval Artist Universe Novel: Book Three of the Anniversary Day Saga (Retrieval Artist series 10)
The End is Now (The Apocalypse Triptych Book 2)

Location: Dallas, Texas | While I'm no fan of eBook only publications (I still like my dead tree books) it seems to me that is where the industry is headed. I'd rather not fight the inevitable especially if it means leaving out a book like this that sounds rather interesting. It certainly has a well know bunch of authors who contributed. If I ever said "no eBook only books allowed" in the past, and it may be that I did I just can't remember, then I'll conditionally take that back now. The publishing industry is changing and "eBook only" does not necessarily have to mean self/indie/vanity published which is one of the very few restrictions we try to maintain. Many organizations/publishers/authors are taking advantage of the new technology to put out books they might never have considered when paper was the only, and expensive, option available. The conditional part is that I think we still need to be selective and do that little bit of research into the publisher to verify they're legit. It's becoming harder all the time to differentiate the professional publishers from the amateurs. In this case IEEE is a reputable organization so I vote we allow it. |

Ok. Thanks for the clarification. I didn't notice that we already had the publisher in the database. So that probably means we need it done as well. Is it a trifecta? Book, publisher, and editor? That would be rare.

Location: The Netherlands | Hhmm, Page is the acquisitions editor at Per Aspera, so she is essentially publishing her own book. But from what I gather from the website Per Aspera could be considered a small press and both Lake and Page have published in other professional venues before. I'm giving the Lake and Page book the benefit of the doubt. Gimme a sec to get it entered. |

These three are now in. I added both books by Huang, since they're the same series. Those two are pushing the boundaries of what we usually accept, but I figure we're going to have to adapt as the industry changes again.
The Stone Boatmen got a really interesting blurp from Le Guin.

I spent 10 to 15 minutes trying to cobble together some autobiographical info on Huang, before adding her to the database, only to then notice the publishing status of her books. Ugh! I wasn't about to not put anything in after the effort and since the database does have a method for dealing with this...don't know if it's a good method, or if we'll keep using it, but at least we do have the option; which got exercised. I'll be interested in hearing what people think of her. If the effort was worth it.

I'm working, slowly but surely, on the whole Tor Double run, all 36 volumes. Doing them has been a back burner issue. There's already over 15 in the database. Just search for Tor Double and have at it. The worst part is finding a synopsis for the individual stories.

It's not so much the publisher but that self-published - ebook only kind of thing, which we're balking at, right at the moment. The might change in the next few years, of course.

| Two books by Elizabeth Wein, The Lion Hunter and The Empty Kingdom, were recently added to WWEnd and categorized as part of The Mark of Solomon series. This is all correct; however, these two books additionally comprise a sub-series within a longer five book series named The Lion Hunters (link goes to author's website). Could the first three books in The Lion Hunters series--The Winter Prince, A Coalition of Lions, and The Sunbird--also be added to the database?

I've been putting in the Gregg Press Science Fiction series from the middle to late 70ies in the data base. It feels like it's taken forever, but I guess it's only been this month. What I want to know is who in Gregg publishing came up with the idea to devote a certain percentage of the series to obscure titles which hadn't had a release in, oh, 80 or a hundred years? And who at Gregg thought that was a swell idea and gave it the go ahead?
I guess I just have to get over my comfortable illusion that SF started with Shelley, but exploded with Verne and Wells. That's a lame and superficial understanding. The truth is much more complex than that.

| I apologize for the sidetrack, but I'm posting in this thread because I figure a lot of people are subscribed and will see it. I've been asked whether there is a book with the same plotline as The Truman Show. Wikipedia says it was based on a Twilight Zone episode called "Special Service" , but I would swear there's an SF story or novel with a similar plot -- but darned if I can think what it is. Could I get any help from some of you SF bright sparks? |

| My apologies for posting this in 2 threads, but I'd like to make sure as many people see this as possible... Do you read a fair bit of SFF and would like to be able to express your opinions on what you read, in terms of nominating and voting for the Hugo Awards, but have not been able to afford to do so? Because of the current concern that the Hugo process is too insular, a bunch of SFF fans have generously offered to provide supporting memberships in order to broaden the community of nominator/voters. These memberships include the right to vote this year (and the voter's packet of full or partial copies of nominated works) and the right to nominate (but not vote) next year. The only requirement is that you be someone who reads and enjoyes SFF. If you'd love to participate but money has been holding you back, you can find the entry form here . |

Also Chloe Neill's Dark Debt, book 11 in her extremely popular UF series,Chicagoland Vampires. I am surprised that none of her books are listed. Urban Fantasy as a whole is very under-represented on WWEnd. There are a host of popular authors like Jeanine Frost,Nalini Singh,and Chloe Neill herself who are not on the data base at all.
I want to read Dark Debt and Shattered for my Sub-genre and Next in Series challenges,so would appreciate your help. Thanks.

Now that I think about it, in Dance in the Vampire Bund, both the dentist and the Priest!, were vampires. Cover the basics with people you trust. All Hail Queen Mina Tepes, Ruler of the Night!

A fair number of the Prometheus books were already in the database. I've been chipping away at the rest here and there; I don't know whether anyone else has, too. We (volunteers) are finishing up the Aurealis Awards for SF, Fantasy, and Horror right now, so when those are done, I was going to try to finish the Prometheus as well. We're actually pretty close to having all of the Prometheus entries in. Once the books are in, Administrator and his programming wizards then have to set up the special structure to display the nominees and winners the way the other Awards are currently displayed in list form and in reading statistics for individuals. He'd be in a better position to tell you how much of an undertaking that is (or isn't). |

| JasonKB - 2015-04-22 10:01 AM Thanks for the explanation - I was just rather surprised when I looked just now and didn't see the Prometheus awards in the list. Any time a nominated work is part of a series, then all the books in the series have to be entered as well -- and if the author and/or publisher aren't already in the database, they also have to be added. So for every award that's been put into the WWEnd system, I'd estimate 3 to 4 times the actual number of entries on the list have to be added. It's a bit of an undertaking. In the past, Admin has solicited votes from WWEnd members on which awards to add next (you can find those threads using the forum Search function). |

In the past, Admin has solicited votes from WWEnd members on which awards to add next (you can find those threads using the forum Search function). Prometheus is on the list of awards to add. It's just a matter of time and like illegible says it can mean a whole lot of books and authors going in. As for the votes on what award to do next we did that and Tiptree was the winner but then we found out it's a mix of novels and short stories and novellas etc. which we're not geared to handle. The new code is in the works but got trumped by other updates for now. What we've been doing in the mean time is putting in awards where we're already close to having all the books or where an Uber User, or group of Ubers, volunteered to do the data entry for an award they were interested in. Generally we've been steering towards filling gaps in our awards and lists coverage and to offer more variety. Aurealis fills a gap for our friends down under. Not a lot of call for Prometheus so far but if we're close to having all the books it might move up the list. Low hanging fruit is the tastiest.

I've checked my spreadsheet, and for Prometheus there are 23 of 96 Authors and 45 of 178 Books remaining to be entered (but note that many of those books are part of series; one extreme example is that 3 are part of a 15-book series, all 15 of which will need to be entered).

Location: Belgium | from Reynolds' blog:
here is the book description as it should have appeared on the inside cover flap:
Two hundred years after the fall of Mechanism, human society has achieved a kind of stability. There are colonies beneath the oceans, throughout the solar system, and beyond: on the worlds of extrasolar systems. Vast hemirelativistic ships connect these colonies, travelling at half the speed of light. Or rather they would, if the ominous presence of the alien Watchkeepers had not led to an enforced moratorium on interstellar travel.
But when a seemingly impossible radio signal reaches the colony Crucible, everything changes:
Send Ndege
Its origin is unpopulated, unexplored space. No one could be there at least, not if they travelled using human technology so who could have sent it? How did they get there? And what use do they have for the disgraced scientist Ndege Akinya?
Finding the answers will require one of the greatest expeditions humankind has ever launched, a journey further than ever attempted before, conducted under the implacable scrutiny of the Watchkeepers.
But as a mission is prepared on Crucible, it turns out they werent the only ones to see the message or its potential . . . |

| I have a general question: it appears that sometimes a novella is added to the database. What are the guidelines with requesting novellas to be added? I assume it'd be a ton of work to add many of them. |

I have been looking through the Fantasy Masterworks series and I notice you have missed one. Lord Darcy by Randall Garrett was released in this series back in March 2014. It is an omnibus containing all the short stories and novellas of Lord Darcy.
Is it possible to get this one in? |

Location: Dallas, Texas | Yeah, I just added 3 new Fantasy Masterworks to the list yesterday and while I was at it I noticed we were missing the Lord Darcy and another one at least. I'll look around today and see if there are others as well. It's always a little confusing because they re-release books from the numbered series at the same times as the new ones come out. The new covers are nice and all but we only want the new volumes for the list. I also added 4 new books to the SF Masterworks list yesterday. I got the new books from a blog post over on SF Signal because the publisher prefers to let people discover them on their own it seems. If we happen to stumble upon the new volumes or somebody tells us about them we can update our list but they can't be bothered to promote the new volumes. I've asked them directly for updates or for information on where they publish that info so I could go get it and even volunteered our lists for them to use but they were not interested. Keeping everyone in the dark is part of their marketing plan. |

Location: New Zealand | Hi
Could someone update the Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter. I am trying to read them all this year.
The missing titles are:
7. Black Arts, published 2014
8. Broken Soul, published 2014
9. Dark Heir, to be published 2015
Also, if anyone is bored and looking for something to do, would it be possible to get added the Weather Warden series by Rachel Caine? I know this site isn't big on urban fantasy, so if not that is okay. There are nine titles so far:
1. Ill Wind (2003)
2. Heat Stroke (2004)
3. Chill Factor (2005)
4. Windfall (2005)
5. Firestorm (2006)
6. Thin Air (2007)
7. Gale Force (2008)
8. Cape Storm (2009)
9. Total Eclipse (2010)

Lord of all Things is in.
I'm going to call paper snob on One Trillion Dollars, since it does not seem to have a paper version. From the synopsis I'm seen, I'm also hesitate to add this one since it really doesn't seem to fit with our SF, F, H basis.

We have the original Baltimore book, but there are five graphic novels also. Would also be nice to see the Jenny Finn graphic novel, the five Abe Sapien graphic novels, and of course the 12 Hellboy graphic novels.
Also, Mignola and Golden did another work like Baltimore, a large illustrated hardcover called Joe Golem and the Drowning City. The also did another novel, called Father Gaetano's Puppet Catechism.
Finally, there have been a series of Hellboy novels. One, by Mark Chadbourn, is in the database. Here are the others:
The Bones of Giants - Christopher Golden
The Dragon Pool - Christopher Golden
The Lost Army - Christopher Golden
On Earth As It Is In Hell - Brian Hodge
The Fire Wolves - Tim Lebbon
Unnatural Selection - Tim Lebbon
The All-Seeing Eye - Mark Morris
Emerald Hell - Tom Piccirilli
The God Machine - Thomas Sniegoski
Odd Jobs - short story collection edited by Cristopher Golden
Odder Jobs
Oddest Jobs
I know it's a lot, but since I'm seeing more graphic novels entered, I thought it was time we give Mignola his due. Thanks guys. |

I see we've recently added more of Spider Robinson's Callahan's series. There are still three more not in the system:
Callahan's Legacy
Callahan's Key
Callahan's Con
And whoever added the other ones listed Off the Wall at Callahan's as series #7. It's actually out of continuity, could better be listed as maybe a #0.
And the first three were collected in an omnibus edition titled The Callahan Chronicles, which is how I read them.

Angel of Darkness is now in. I'm going to go with the ISFDB's take on the Holmes book that it's none genre (not what we cover) so if someone else wants to add it, that's their prerogative.

Armada is now in. From the synopsis, it sounds like an update of the Last Starfighter movie/book/concept.
(I once heard that movie people in the industry think of Last Starfighter as a guilty pleasure.)
I'll be looking forward to a review or two once it comes out.

I have added "If Then." That will be out on Sept 1st. I've put "Europe at Midnight" on my list to add it closer to the release date, because it is not even ready for pre-order yet. |

Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is considered by some to be science fiction. I don't think of it that way, but I can see how it would be so classified. Anthem by Ayn Rand, which I haven't read, is supposed to be about a future dystopia, certainly a science fiction or speculative fiction theme. I wonder why these books aren't on WWEnd.
Good call. Anthem is completely dystopic. And Atlas won the 1983 Prometheus Hall of Fame Award.
They're now in.

- A Kiss Before the Apocalypse; Dancing on the Head of a Pin; Where Angels Fear to Tread; A Hundred Words for Hate; In the House of the Wicked; Walking in the Midst of Fire; A Deafening Silence in Heaven
2. Connor Grey series by Mark del Franco (6 books)
- Unshapely Things; Unquiet Things; Unfallen Dead; Unperfect Souls; Uncertain Allies; Undone Deeds
3. Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep (13 books)
- Spider's Bite; Web of Lies; Venom; Tangled Threads; Spider's Revenge; By A Thread; Widow's Web; Deadly Sting; Heart of Venom; The Spider; Poison Promise; Black Widow; Spider's Trap |

I promise I will keep an eye and as soon as it is pre-order I will put it in. We have had issues with not-yet published books that the publication dates get pushed back on them. I usually add stuff on Wed and Sun, but now that I have my laptop up and working again, I am able to be more flexible. |

Amazon is showing it as November release, but that is why I'm holding off. I hope for Pizzakarin's challenge that it does come out in November. |

Garlick is in.
I'm calling pager snob on the two Franklin books.
The same for the series by Underwood.
We don't do, yet, ebook only works.
The Green book seems to bend the boundary, probably no more than King, so I stuck it in horror. Please keep an eye on the SF, Fantasy, Horror roots that we try to stay true to when asking for books to be added.
The Connolly book is almost self-published, sort-of, may-be (not). It's on the boundary too, but I put it in. Self-pub is another no-no.

I'm reading this because it contains a work by one of my favorite SF authors. It definitely fits in our genres. (Hey - I'm beginning to think of WWEnd as 'us' ) I know we don't generally list anthologies, except in the Books Published by Year database. But it's not there. The Thackery T. Lambshead Cabinet of Curiosities was published in 2011.

You can see anthologies in the DB by using the recently added Books Published by Year WWEnd List. For example, there are currently 53 anthologies from last year in the db! Currently, you can only view one year at a time, but perhaps that will change at some point.

Auel is in.
1980! is when this series started. If I remember correctly, when it started, anthro. thought that humans and neanderthals didn't even exist in the same time frame. And then is was that they did, and perhaps humans wiped them out. Probably not. I just heard a while back that there was interbreeding going on. Red hair, I think was a sign of neanderthal genes. It just show how much change can happen in one science in 35 years.
This books stand as an example of a pet thesis: only women can write good sex scenes.

Neal Shusterman is mostly a dystopian/magical realism writer. Although Challenger Deep might not fit here, as it is on the borders of magical realism/fantasy and mental illness exploration, could we have his "Unwind" series in? These books are 100% dystopian/near future.
Btw, I would like to apologise for asking so many books :P I'm new and in the process of importing my bookshelves, so I have some catching up to do

Is it possible to get The Memory Painter by Gwendolyn Womack? It's described as an SF thriller/romance/historical fantasy.
Also the Jane Harper series by Jeremy Bishop (aka Jeremy Robinson): The Sentinal, and The Raven
And can someone update the following authors who have some missing books:
Sara Douglass - Threshold
Sean Williams - Twinmaker series: Twinmaker and Crashland
Sarah Zettel - the awesome Isavalta series (4 books). I can't believe this excellent series isn't in already.
These are in. |

I'm sorry if these are already requested, I didn't go back through all the posts here to look. I know, I know, shame on me.
Weston Ochse - SEAL Team 666 series(SEAL Team 666; Age of Blood; Reign of Evil), Task Force Ombra series (Grunt Life; Grunt Traitor), Scarecrow Gods (Bram Stoker Award winner for First Novel)
I added the Ochse books. Will be back for the rest later but I have some other stuff to take care of now.
We're usually right on top of this thread so if you can't find the book in the database just put in the request. No need to go over all the previous posts. |

Also the Jane Harper series by Jeremy Bishop (aka Jeremy Robinson): The Sentinal, and The Raven
These two are in. As a bonus, Torment got put in as well. ISFDB lists it as book one of the Jane Harper series, but that doesn't look like it's correct. Perhaps it's a precursor novel.

Location: New Zealand | You'll be pleased to know I have almost finished tagging all my books into WWEnd, which will mean my requests will become just the odd new book.
So with a final (hopefully - no promises) larger request could we get
Melissa Marr - Graveminder, and Made For You
Cherie Priest - Eden Moore series (3 books - Four and Twenty Blackbirds, Wings to the Kingdom, and Not Flesh Nor Feathers)
Laura Bickle - The Hollowed Ones (2 books, The Hallowed Ones, and The Outside); Anna Kalinczyk (2 books, Embers, and Sparks); and Dark Alchemy (currently only 1 book but with a second, Mercury Retrograde, due next month)
Christopher Farnsworth - Nathaniel Cade series (3 books)
Kat Richardson - Greywalker series (9 books)
Justin Gustainis - Quincey Morris series (5 books)
Harry Connolly - Twenty Palaces series (3 books)
Christopher Golden - The Shadow Saga (7 books); and The Veil (3 books)
Christopher Golden & Tim Lebbon - Hidden Cities (4 books) - I notice we have book 2 in the database (The Map of Moments) but it is incorrectly listed as a non-series work.
Glen Cook - Garrett, PI series
Plus one update:
Kelley Armstrong - Deceptions, book 3 in the Cainsville trilogy
Now that I'm looking at it I realise that is a lot of books. Sorry. I'll stop now. |

This book and it's sequel are in. It sounds like this series is a take off of Attack on Titan from Japan, which was first published, 4? 5? years ago. Justin can only dream of having the sales that Titan has generated.

About Theo Gangi - A New Day in America. As far as I know there isn't any printed version, only Kindle by Full Fathom Five Digital.
http://fullfathomfive.com/writers/theo-gangi/new-day-america/
A reviewer I follow 5starred it on his blog, so I decided to give it a go, (Netgalley allowed me a copy of it). I don't have strong feelings for it, not having read it yet. If it is a bother, please ignore it.

The six by Bickle are now in. I think that's the end of your list. If we've missed something re-request it in a couple of days. Other peoples lists of books to add might be more complete than mine, so they might get to it before then.

| There was a huge used book sale on a local Connecticut green and I found a decent bunch of titles to bring home. I was surprised to find the author Jo Clayton doesn't seem to be in the database. I've never read any of her work but I've run across her name here and there. At the least can you add her book Shadow of the Warmaster please? And I'll give her a read. Her bio on Wikipedia made her sound like a quiet but interesting soul. Thanks. |

I would call the series "Death Troopers". The first book, called Death Troopers, has Han & Chewie running into corpses reanimated by a chemical formula. The second book, Red Harvest, is a prequel, set in the era of the Old Republic, and tells about the development of the formula. |

I've gotten a fair few entered in, and intend to keep chipping away at them (I've got a bunch of covers for additional books saved already.) There are several hundred Star Trek tie-in books now, so it's not a quick project. If you list the ones you'd especially like entered, I'll work on doing those first. :-) |

| daxxh - 2015-10-23 6:26 AM @ illegible scribble - Since Dr Nefario just added the Tie In Fighter Challenge and I have a ton of Star Trek Books that I haven't read, can you add these to get me started? Thanks! Planet X, Fortune's Light, Q-in-Law, Perchance to Dream, and Spartacus are all in now, along with a bunch of other Star Trek novels by those authors. We're up to 99 Star Trek novels now... only another 600 or so to go. ;-)

In another forum, a long term project like this would be considered job security. Here, no doubt that some of us are wondering how familiar you are with the works of the Marquis de Sade.

Location: Dallas, Texas | Thanks to our Uber Users for a heck of a day! You guys and gals put in 104 books today. It's a good thing I had the day off to keep up with you on the cover images. It did cut into my reading time quite a bit but it was worth it. |

Location: Middle TN, USA | Well I did eventually dress (I even made cookies!) today and so our Dragonlance totals are 82 entered and about 100 books left to go! I work tomorrow but will pick at it tomorrow evening after work. Who knew there were s-s-s-s-o-o-o-o-o many books in the series, and I have never read one! :P After this work I might try one even though I have never really been that interested in fantasy, especially of the "sword and wand" type.
@Valashain: I jumped around a bit at the end, so you might have to do some checking if you enter anymore, Sorry! |

I'm feeling very familiar right now! Okay, I've entered 52 Star Trek novels in the last 24 hours or so, bringing us to 121. I've had enough for the moment, and will probably hold off doing any more for a bit, but will be happy to enter Star Trek novels for which anyone makes a specific request. |

1. The Daemon's Curse, 2. Bloodstorm, 3. Reaper of Souls, 4. Warpsword, 5. Lord of Ruin
There is a sixth Malus Darkblade novel just out this year by C.L. Werner called Deathblade, so that could be added as well.

Location: Las Vegas, NV | Straczynski was a bit stingy when it came to B5 stuff. Almost all of the novels & novelizations were based on outlines by JMS himself so it seems that he has tried to keep a tight hold on his creative control of the property.
As far as Warhammer is concerned...it makes my head spin just thinking about it, especially all of the WH40K. I'm not as familiar with Warhammer Fantasy but I have added one of those books to my TIE-IN Fighter RYO reading list.
And if we're talking about shared universes with plenty of novels, what about Shadowrun? Or if you want another Drgonlance sized task, there's always Forgotten Realms... |

Yeah, it looks as though there are only 22 Babylon 5 novels and 5 authors to add (and 2 of those are also Star Trek authors). I'll take those on. |

Location: Dallas, Texas | So we passed another milestone today: 1,001 women authors in the database! 316 of whom were added this year alone which is well above last year's 206 new women added.
For the record we have 2,036 male authors so a 2-1 ratio of men to women overall. I don't think that's too bad overall and I'm quite happy with the last few year's progress. And another round of thanks for all of you who requested new books by new authors, women and men, and of course to our Uber Users who did the heavy lifting. Read on!

| The New and Improved Romie Futch by Julia Elliott (Tin House Books, 2015) -- she's already in the DB as author of The Wilds
Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders by Samuel R. Delany (Magnus Books, 2012) -- obv. he's in the DB
(And I know this should be only for authors in the DB, but: Zachary Jernigan doesn't appear to be in the DB, and he has two really good fantasy novels "No Return" and "Shower of Stones", both from Night Shade Books; also missing is Mark L. Van Name, who has a series from Baen Books which includes Children No More and No Going Back, among others. Another author I was surprised to find missing is J.M. McDermott, whose debut novel Last Dragon is fantastic, and he also has additional books from both Night Shade Books (his Dogsland Trilogy) and Apex Books.)
Anthology to add: "Onward, Drake!" (Baen Books, 2015)

| @ montsamu:
I've added the eight books by the firebrand Nick Mamatas, but you had an awful lot of requests all at once, so please be patient as it might take a bit of time to get the rest of the requests done.
Did you really read Delaney's Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders? It's one of the few books I've given up on. I'd read his other (non-genre) hardcore gay porn books (The Tides of Lust and Hogg), but after having read 200 pages of Spiders, I decided I just wasn't interested in reading the next 600 pages. Delaney certainly has a fixation with various bodily fluids and substances...

| valashain - 2015-11-04 4:39 AM daxxh - 2015-11-03 6:02 PM Can someone add the Space 1999 series? At least the Year 2 books? There are only 6 Year 2 books. I'm not sure how many Year 1 books there are - maybe twenty or so? Thanks! I put in the year 2 books. It looks very, very dated :P I've put in the 11 Space: 1999 Year 1 books -- thanks for your patience on this. It will probably be a few days before I get to the set of Space: 1999 books from Powys. |

Location: Great Lakes, USA | @valashain and illegible_scribble - thanks! I watched Space 1999 when it was originally on and I thought it was dated then. I have always been into astronomy and couldn't figure out how the moon could be blasted out of Earth's orbit without destroying civilization on Earth and destroying the colony on the moon. But, I figured it was fiction and it was nice to have something set in space to watch besides Star Trek reruns. I'm sure it's really dated now. |

| I've just seen Dave's email after not being about much recently. Pleasantly surprised that some Warhammer books are being added now. I'll rain kisses on eager upturned cheeks if the Gotrek and Felix series ends up being added. If any help is required with the books I'd be happy to help and also have the bonus of a bunch of reviews too! |

The New and Improved Romie Futch by Julia Elliott (Tin House Books, 2015 ) -- she's already in the DB as author of The Wilds
Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders by Samuel R. Delany (Magnus Books, 2012 ) -- obv. he's in the DB
(And I know this should be only for authors in the DB, but: Zachary Jernigan doesn't appear to be in the DB, and he has two really good fantasy novels "No Return" and "Shower of Stones", both from Night Shade Books; also missing is Mark L. Van Name, who has a series from Baen Books which includes Children No More and No Going Back, among others. Another author I was surprised to find missing is J.M. McDermott, whose debut novel Last Dragon is fantastic, and he also has additional books from both Night Shade Books (his Dogsland Trilogy ) and Apex Books. )
Anthology to add: "Onward, Drake!" (Baen Books, 2015 )
These should be mostly in now. I added Jennigan, Van Name and the Onward, Drake anthology. McDermott is in too but I only added his debut novel so far. Will look into the rest tomorrow. |

| First of all, thanks so much for all the adds. As a Goodreads librarian I know it was a deluge there.
Engelbrecht - 2015-11-08 2:33 AM
@ montsamu: Did you really read Delaney's Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders? It's one of the few books I've given up on. I'd read his other (non-genre ) hardcore gay porn books ( The Tides of Lust and Hogg), but after having read 200 pages of Spiders, I decided I just wasn't interested in reading the next 600 pages. Delaney certainly has a fixation with various bodily fluids and substances...
I did. It didn't make me want to go pick up Tides of Lust or Hogg any time soon or anything; I found some of the prose just gorgeous -- again, that line about the stars pinning up the darkness of the sky that, just, wow. I am set to re-read a bunch of Delany that I haven't in years (Babel 17, Dhalgren, Nova) in the next few months, and I don't think I'll be re-reading TVNS any time soon or anything, but I do think it was a very good book. (Happy to take any further conversation out of the "add a book" thread, though!) |

The Adept
The Lodge of the Lynx
Templar Treasure
Dagger Maggic
Death of an Adept
Liaden books by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller
Also question: how are you handling omnibus editions? For example NK Jemisin's Inheritance Trilogy includes all of it, including the new novella. Should I just mark them as owned separately or?

I put in 21 Liaden universe books. The series has quite a convoluted publication history so I decided to stick with the ISFDB way of ordering them. Baen takes a different approach.
I should have all the important stuff but have a look if anything you want is missing. |

Location: Austria | Hello everyone. I have a book request:
Justin Richards - Doctor Who: Time Lord Fairy Tales
There is a lot of Doctor Who stuff in the database already but that particular book fits well into my Sub-Genre Challenge (I'm doing fairytale fiction) and is nowhere to be found yet. If you have some time, could you please add it? Thanks in advance, you are awesome! |

Here I was thinking I would need to add another huge subseries. This one doesn't seem to belong to any subset of Doctor Who though. It is in. |

The turkey has made me feel generous. We usually don't do self-published stuff, but since it won a BSFA award and got nominated for a Sidewise award, and the guy had the balls to open up his own publishing company to self-publish...why not?
I put the whole quartet in too.

Feeling Mike Mignola/Helboy, and there is so little in the data base.
We have the original Baltimore book, but there are five graphic novels also. Would also be nice to see the Jenny Finn graphic novel, the five Abe Sapien graphic novels, and of course the 12 Hellboy graphic novels.
Also, Mignola and Golden did another work like Baltimore, a large illustrated hardcover called Joe Golem and the Drowning City. The also did another novel, called Father Gaetano's Puppet Catechism.
Finally, there have been a series of Hellboy novels. One, by Mark Chadbourn, is in the database. Here are the others:
The Bones of Giants - Christopher Golden
The Dragon Pool - Christopher Golden
The Lost Army - Christopher Golden
On Earth As It Is In Hell - Brian Hodge
The Fire Wolves - Tim Lebbon
Unnatural Selection - Tim Lebbon
The All-Seeing Eye - Mark Morris
Emerald Hell - Tom Piccirilli
The God Machine - Thomas Sniegoski
Odd Jobs - short story collection edited by Cristopher Golden
Odder Jobs
Oddest Jobs
I know it's a lot, but since I'm seeing more graphic novels entered, I thought it was time we give Mignola his due. Thanks guys. |

For those of you who havent heard the hard and fast rules when it comes to comics and manga, here is my understanding. (If Im off, the other uber uses will let us all know.)
We have absolutely no problem putting in a graphic novel if its been nominated for something. If its on one of the list or awards we track, if thats the case, of course it goes in. After all, thats where we started.
But with everything else, we have a kind of wait and see, maybe later, attitude. You do realize that if we open the door to everything in the world of comics, then that might easily be thousands of books. I dont think anyone around here is quiet ready for that. Not yet anyway.
The exceptions to this general rule are on an individual case-by-case basis. The comic adaptation of Nivens Ringworld, sounds like something which should be in, but nobody has asked for it and I havent gotten to it yet.
The comic adaption of Mrs. Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children, I, for one, wouldnt object.
Vol. 11 of the Fantastic Four omnibus series, not so much. Maybe later. Maybe never.
So, that means any actual books (non graphic novel material) which feature characters which we would most likely associate with comic books, yeah, they're fine since they're books. You just have to ask, politely as always.
I for one have been adding lots of light novels from Japan. Many of those book series have parallel manga series as well. The novels are in, the manga isnt.
Those seem to be the guidelines at the moment. They'll undoubtedly change in the future.

Location: Alief, TX | I appreciate being given the policy, and I'm not arguing that (though I can find at least two instances of graphic novel series in the system with no award nominations). But my original request also included about a dozen actual books about Mignola's characters, written by various authors, many of whom are already in the database. So then I was asking if we can still get those books. I notice that two have been put in, and I appreciate that too. |

Also, I've been reading The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz, which I would like added here if people find it appropriate. A lot of critics describe it as magical realism, and there are sci-fi and fantasy references on almost every page. |

Locke & Key is a Mythopoeic nominee; Digger is a Mythopoeic nominee and is on the Award-Winning Books by Women Authors list; Ôoku: The Inner Chambers and Y: The Last Man are Tiptree nominees. The Tiptree Award is something we've been working on for months, because it contains a lot of different types of works other than novels including short fiction, graphic novels, and even a music CD album. The Admins will be adding it to the site's Awards list shortly after the new year. |

This one is in.
A general note on requesting short fiction. It takes just as much time to add a short story as it does the add a novel so please stick to what's relevant at the moment. Stuff you need for challenges, stuff you want to review. If someone were to ask for the complete works of Poul Anderson I'd be at it till doomsday and there are short fiction writers out there who are even more prolific.

Location: UK | I wonder if you could add the Newbery Medal winner children's book Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH,by Robert C O'Brien to the site. It does have some light ties to SF,or could be classed as fantasyand I am so enjoying it on several challenges I am doing,and its just good fun.When widowed mouse Mrs Frisby needs helpto save her sick son she is directed to some super intelligent rats for their help. It all starts off like a homage to Beatrix Potter,could have been written in the 20s,then suddenly it is revealed that these were lab rats,injected with DNA that helped them develop their intelligence, size and strength,so that they escaped,which brings us up past the 70s when it was written into todays experiments. I am loving it,and hope you can pass it as suitable for the site |

Hello! When you have time can you please add David Weber's "The Service of the Sword", "Changer of Worlds," and "Beginnings" please? They're in the sequence for me to read in the Honor Harrington series now and I'd like to do them as part of my Space Opera challenge books this year. Thanks! Okay, all six books intheWorlds of Honor subseries arein the database now.
Thank you very much! I didn't expect this to be done so quickly and I appreciate it! |

It's in ISFDB, so no problem. Good solid fantasy. The first of the series is in. I'll get the rest in, too.

It's book four of a series, so the whole series has wandered its way into the database.
Undoubtedly lost, they can find a place to stop right here.

It would be great to see the following added:
The Turing Test - Chris Beckett
The Peacock Cloak - Chris Beckett
The Ghost Hunters - Neil Spring
The Watchers - Neil Spring
There are a number of Chris Beckett's novels already in the DB, just not the two story collections mentioned.
Neil Spring is a fairly new author. His first novel (Ghost Hunters) has already been made into a film in the UK, and I'd not be surprised to see The Watchers up for (something like) the James Herbert Award this year.
Thanks in advance |

Mosse is in.
Oath Bound is only a Kindle at the moment. Keep an eye on it and when it gets a paper version, ask for it again.
Invisible Library and its sequel is in.
The Wrath and the Dawn is in, along with it's sequel due out in a few months.

This kicker is that I think were over half way on the Star Wars but not yet to the half way point for Star Trek. Goals. Got'a love'm. Last year when I started entering the Star Trek books in, I think I counted over 600 on ISFDB (I had to copy and paste into a spreadsheet, then eliminate all the omnibuses, anthologies, and short fiction). Around the 129-book mark I decided to take a break and work on our other projects, like the Aurealis, Prometheus, Tiptree, and WFA awards. I've got all the covers for the following Star Trek subseries saved, (plus parts of other subseries): A Time To...
Cold Equations
Destiny
Dominion War
Double Helix
Genesis Wave
Titan
Vanguard Well done on the Star Wars books -- I don't think we had more than a couple in to begin with, and that was not so long ago. |

The Van Gores has stellar reviews. To bad she died early so it's a one hit wonder which is very expensive and long out-of-print according to amazon.

*nods* I'd been curious about the book for a while, but thought it would probably be an eternal wishlist item for me. But then my brother tracked down a (signed!) copy for me and gave it to me for Christmas. I'm in the middle of reading it right now, and so far it's very good. No idea who the rightsholder for the book is, but hopefully it gets rereleased someday--perhaps as an ebook?--so that it can reach a wider audience. |

I'm a big fan of de Bodard's work so I've added a few pieces I think will be relevant to later awards projects. At this time it is not feasible to add a full bibliography for authors however. As you can see the database expands at something like 10 or 20 works a day at the moment. There is just way too much out there for us to keep up with. De Bodard has fifty published short pieces easily and she has only been at it for a decade. Imagine having to sort through the list for a prolific author with a five decade career. And then consider there are over 4000 authors in the database.
I'm happy to add specific stories you mean to review or need for reading challenges but right now I am not going to commit to the complete set. |

The Citadel of Weeping Pearls by De Bodard is next on my TBR. It's eligible for best novella (Hugo and Nebula) this year, so I think that would be a good one to add - but also to read.
Also, if you need help and the GUI isn't frighteningly complex I wouldn't mind helping out adding books a couple of hours a week. At 4000 authors with up to 250 short stories each, adding them all might take some time :-) |

Also, if you need help and the GUI isn't frighteningly complex I wouldn't mind helping out adding books a couple of hours a week. At 4000 authors with up to 250 short stories each, adding them all might take some time :-) Most of the Novellas, Novelettes, and Short Stories which have been entered into the database thus far has fallen into at least one of the following categories (and a lot of it has fallen into two of them): 1) nominated for, or won, an Award
2) available to read for free online
3) available to purchase in standalone form (rather than only as part of a magazine or anthology) I've been holding off on "Citadel" (I love Aliette de Bodard's stories, too) because I was thinking that it would be an Asimov's or Nebula finalist and thus be made available to read for free. It didn't make the Asimovs and it doesn't look like a Nebula is going to happen, either, and it's still not available except by purchasing a back copy of Asimov's. The Admin/site owner will probably want to weigh in here, but his direction to the Uber Users has been that the priority is for novels and not short fiction. Given that there are around 50 novels and 18 authors which still need to be entered to get the Prix Aurora added to the Awards database, at least 100 novels and related genre works from 2015 alone (and probably close to as many authors just for those books) which still need to be entered into the database (plus uncounted multitudes from previous years and a huge pile of stuff to get the Campbell Award for Best New Writer into the database), it's kind of hard to justify entering a lot of shorter fiction which doesn't fall into at least one of the above categories. Just entering the shorter fiction which has been nominated for the Hugos and the Nebulas is a gargantuan task which I've been chipping away at, but which is probably a couple of years from being finished. Eventually, the site will probably be given functionality to handle shorter fiction by category, separate from novels, for reading lists and the various totals. But that hasn't happened yet, and probably won't for a while. I apologize if this explanation is disappointing -- but I do understand the Admin's thinking that there is a danger in having the site try to go off in too many different directions at once and not finishing or doing any of those things well.
I'm keeping an eye on "Citadel", and if it becomes available to read online, or as a standalone novella for sale, I'll get it entered into the database tout suite.

Given that there are around 50 novels and 18 authors which still need to be entered to get the Prix Aurora added to the Awards database, at least 100 novels and related genre works from 2015 alone (and probably close to as many authors just for those books) which still need to be entered into the database (plus uncounted multitudes from previous years and a huge pile of stuff to get the Campbell Award for Best New Writer into the database), it's kind of hard to justify entering a lot of shorter fiction which doesn't fall into at least one of the above categories. Just entering the shorter fiction which has been nominated for the Hugos and the Nebulas is a gargantuan task which I've been chipping away at, but which is probably a couple of years from being finished. Eventually, the site will probably be given functionality to handle shorter fiction by category, separate from novels, for reading lists and the various totals. But that hasn't happened yet, and probably won't for a while. I apologize if this explanation is disappointing -- but I do understand the Admin's thinking that there is a danger in having the site try to go off in too many different directions at once and not finishing or doing any of those things well.
I'm keeping an eye on "Citadel", and if it becomes available to read online, or as a standalone novella for sale, I'll get it entered into the database tout suite. That is a very good summation of where we are right now. Novels are our bread and butter and the focus of all our awards thus far. Obviously we've been expanding into non-novel territory which we're doing in loose phases same as with the novels. First the nominated stuff then we'll start adding some short awards and lists to flesh 'em out. The free stuff, like the Tor.com shorts, is just a huge value add that we can't pass up. The stand alone requirement is just for convenience -- we don't want to list stuff that our members can't get hold of readily. Like scribble says there are still many awards and lists to be taken care of as well. She mentioned Aurora and Campbell and there are lots more first book and ya award categories in the Hugo and Nebula etc. to get to as well as some new lists like an African SF list we're working on. We'll keep on expanding our coverage though to include more and more shorts as time goes on and I'm about to invite a few long time WWEnders to become Uber Users so we'll have more hands on deck to work on all these projects and fulfill member requests. We love that you all want specific books/stories to be included and we'll fill them as best we can but it is all volunteer work and we can't get them in as fast as they come sometimes especially with all the other projects going on. We appreciate everyone being so patient and understanding. We'll get there eventually! |

Location: Norway | Thank you for very comprehensive answers on how you prioritize what books are added. It helped me understand how you think when adding books to the site and was very helpful. It gives me a couple of useful filters to use if I want to requests more books to be added in the future. Was this a "sticky post" somewhere I should have read before suggesting the stories to be added? The forums are somewhat terra incognita for me.
I am deeply worried about the number of awards you're adding as my to-read list is approaching critical mass and possibly sentience, but I can hardly wait to read my way through some of them.

Hi! Could you please add "The White People and Other Weird Stories" by Arthur Machen and "Ancient Sorceries and Other Weird Stories" by Algernon Blackwood? Thanks!
The Blackwood is in. I think there is a difference between the original edition from the 20ies and the latest version.
With the Machen, I remember doing a lot of this stuff for the Cthulhu series we already have in the database.
The White People and other Stories is a variant title of The House of Souls, which is already in.

Trifecta. I had to add the publisher, the author and the novel.
The novel sounds nasty.
I wonder if she got into the issue of tumors surrounding the implants?

Not so much. This one was more concerned with political and moral philosophy than strict medical accuracy. Besides, it's the future. I hear those guys are smart. |

Location: Southeastern Pennsylvania | Hello! I recently discovered Worlds Without End (via Tor dot com) and I'm enjoying the site quite a bit.
For my initial foray into WWE, I joined the Punk's Not Dead RYORC.
I'm finding it a bit tricky to search and navigate the forums; I can't locate the Punk's Not Dead thread and I'm not really sure where to go to submit a request for a book addition, so I'll do it here and hope some benevolent entity notices and grants my wish.
There's a book that's been in my collection for a few years now, but haven't read it yet, and it would fit perfectly with this reading challenge. I'd like the following book to be added to the site please:
Splatterpunks: Extreme Horror
Edited by Paul M Sammon
1990 St Martin's Press
ISBN 0-312-04581-6
Thank you!

Location: Alief, TX | Oh, I've been shopping again. Could I please request:
The Thongor series by Lin Carter
The Green Star series by Lin Carter
the rest of the John Grimes series by A. Bertram Chandler (I know that one is kinda long, I think 22 novels and several omnibus editions)
The Inexperienced Ghost by H.G. Wells
At the Edge of the World by Lord Dunsany
Seven Footprints to Satan by A. Merritt
Legion from the Shadows by Karl Edward Wagner
And, if I may, since the site is gaining so many media tie-in series, I wonder when we will get more Conan novels, by the likes of John Maddox Roberts, Karl Edward Wagner, Leonard Carpenter, Robert Jordan, Roland Green, and Steve Perry.
thanks |

Please could you add Thea Harrison's Elder Races series? Those are all self-published, and my inclination would be that they don't quite fall under the criteria for inclusion in the WWEnd DB. I'll let the Admin or one of the other Uber Users weigh in on that. |

Perhaps that's the first editions or is that the international edition?
Amazon lists 9 different formats for the first book, Dragon Bound,
with paperbacks by Berkley.
Sounds close enough to include.

These four are in.
I think we're starting to retread with the collections by Dunsany and Wells. If you happen to need clarification on what a short story collection contains, just ask.
With the Merritt, I wonder if we just found out where the name James T. Kirk came from?!?!

Location: New Zealand | While perusing the shelves at my local bookstore today I ran across some new books in the Fantasy Masterworks series that I had not heard about before. It would be great if they could be added:
Published in the Masterworks series in 2015
The Anvil of Ice, by Michael Scott Rohan (book 1 of the 6 book Winter of the World series)
Elleander Morning by Jerry Yulsman
Published in the Masterworks series in 2016 - this one is in the database but not mentioned as part of the Fantasy Masterworks series:
The Circus of Dr Lao by Charles G Finney
Also, can you add The Time of the Clockmaker, by Anna Caltabiano. This is book 2 in the Miss Hatfield series.

We're working on an update of the SF and Fantasy Masterworks books at the moment but as usual Gollancz is making things complicated. It should be sorted out soon though. |
