    November's offering could be Lord of the Rings, or C.S. Lewis' trilogy: Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra and That Hideous Strength. This may be more SF than fantasy

        Oh man, I'd be heavily interested in this!

          Funny enough, I just heard about this recently on a video on Nebula - https://nebula.tv/videos/talefoundry...gothic-fiction - not sure if this creator is on the YouTubes or not . . . anyways, it sounded interesting but probably way over my head. Just kind of surprised to see someone else mention this book and author since I hadn't ever heard of him before.

            Cool video!

            Folio Society had a release of the trilogy, that's where I first heard about it. The books sound interesting, but I'm also not sure it's for me. I may try checking out the first book from the library before Suntup's release to see if I'm into it.

              They sounded like A LOT.

                Oct Clue- Are you ready to turn the clock back this Fall? I am ready. Perhaps not quite this far though.
                Maybe Doomsday Book by Connie Willis?

                I had no idea about this one, but I saw the book mentioned in a Youtube video and looks to fit the bill. Time travel to the 14th century, lengthy enough for 2 volumes, and living author for the signature. I'm not familiar with the book at all so I'd probably pass on this one, but we'll see!

                  Somebody pointed out that "I am ready" is a direct quote from Outlander, so it sounds like that.

                    Oh okay, thanks for the info! That's a pretty definite skip for me.

                      If true, it's an easy pass for me, but I'm sure the book would sell like gangbusters for Suntup!

                        Got my shipping notice for Kin today. I'm really looking forward to this. Been a long since I've read the novel or held a Suntup edition.

                          Got my notice today as well! Much like yourself, I haven't read Kin since its publication and am also excited to see how the prequel novella holds up. Feels like it's been a while since we've gotten anything new from Burke.

                            KIN is terrific. I passed on the Suntup reprint, but that included prequel is still calling to me and I may very well weaken at some point.

                              Looks like it was Outlander after all! An easy pass for me. My wallet is happy.

                                Same here. Such an easy pass. Not that the book is necessarily bad--I haven't read it, so what do I know--but just not in the wheelhouse of what I'm interested in collecting.
