Don D'Amassa's page of Science Fiction reviews has been updated to cover Kage Baker's The Sons of Heaven (coming up in the SFBC omnibus The Company They Keep), The Mike Resnick-edited SFBC original anthology Alien Crimes, Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson's Sandworms of Dune (coming soon from the SFBC), and more. (D'Amassa seems to review books as soon as he sees them, so his reviews often go up substantially before a book is actually on sale.)
D'Amassa's page of Fantasy reviews has also been updated, including John Moore's A Fate Worse Than Dragons, Sarah Monette's The Mirador, and more.
Have I mentioned Phantasik-Couch recently? It's a German review site that covers fantasy and science fiction, and has a section reviewing books written in English. (Unfortunately for this monolingual American, the reviews are in German.)

You state that Monsters And Critics reviews the Charlaine Harris book ALL TOGETHER DEAD, but when I call it up I get, not their review, but the SFBC commentary on the book, which I have already seen. This seems to be your usual practice, giving the SFBC commentary, and not the source mentioned in the blog. Why do you not give the review mentioned?

Jim: There are two links in that line -- the one on "reviews" goes to the M&C review, and the one on the book title goes to the SFBC page. All book-title links go to SFBC pages (and only exist in cases where a book is available from us), but I do link to every single one of the reviews I mention here.
