The Agony Column reviews Peter S. Beagle's A Fine and Private Place, Henry Kuttner's The Last Mimzy (a re-titling of the mid-70s The Best of Henry Kuttner), and Ascendancies by Bruce Sterling.

This Boston Globe review of Jonathan Lethem's new novel You Don't Love Me Yet hints that it contains speculative elements.

The LA Times also reviews You Don't Love Me Yet. (And should I bolster my hipster cred here by pointing out the title is a Roky Erikson reference? Or does even knowing who Roky Erikson is at this point doom me to never beinging anything like a hipster?)

And You Don't Love Me Yet also turns up with a Ken Tucker review in Entertainment Weekly.

Blogcritics reviews Steve Augarde's Celandine.

An end of the fantasy world we don't hear much about in the genre world is the internal struggle among capital-C Christians about whether any fantasies are acceptable reading -- it bubbles out into the public consciousness when someone from the Nay end of that debate denounces Harry Potter, but otherwise it's invisible to us. But there's a recent book on that topic, Faith Journey Through Fantasy Lands, and it was just reviewed by The American Daily.

FantasyBookCritic reviews Guy Gavriel Kay's Ysabel.

FantasyBookSpot reviews David Lubar's True Talents.

SF Signal quotes the SFnal reviews from the current issue of Entertainment Weekly: Dave Duncan's The Alchemist's Apprentice gets a B+, Justina Robson's Keeping It Real gets a B-, and Kathleen Bryan's The Serpent and the Rose gets a B.

This week's New York Times Book Review has an installment of David Itzkoff's "Across the Universe" column, which ostensibly reviews SF books. This time, he visits SETI Institute head Seth Shostak but doesn't review any particular books. (I tend to pick on Itzkoff on my personal blog, but I'll stay professional and factual here.)

The Times Book Review also covers Simon Ings's The Weight of Numbers, which seems to have some speculative element lurking in it somewhere.

Lastly from The New York Times Book Review: this review of Ysabeau S. Wilce's YA fantasy novel Flora Segunda.

The LA Times joins the crowd reviewing Joe Hill's debut novel Heart-Shaped Box. (I also have some other good Joe Hill news to share -- his debut collection, 20th Century Ghosts, previously only available as an expensive small-press import from the UK, will be reprinted by his US publishers, Morrow, this fall. So you all can read great stories like "Voluntary Committal" and "Best New Horror" for yourselves without spending a small fortune.)

Book Fetish reviews Mark Del Franco's debut novel, Unshapely Things. 

Justine Larbalestier quotes from the postive review of her novel Magic's Child (also available as the middle third of the exclusive SFBC omnibus The Magic of Reason) from Kirkus Reviews.
