Challenge: Something new!

[fred_mouse]

Welcome to round three of the wedding poem challenge - "Something New!".

I know that for those of you in the northern hemisphere, you'll be heading towards longer warmer days, and maybe that is good reading weather for you (I know it is for me). And treating yourself to something new -- recently published, recently acquired, a new enthusiasm -- is a great way to celebrate that. For those of us heading towards hibernation in the southern hemisphere (yes, I know, what I call cold is what some of you call shorts weather), curling up with a brand new book is still a treat.

So, with no further ado, tell us what new thing you are hoping to read in the month of June!

I want to read the six Witcher novels, after buying a box set last month. Not new, but new-to-me. I've read the first two books (The Last Wish & Sword of Destiny) which are both collections of short stories, but the next five books were written and planned as An Epic Fantasy Saga and I'm looking forward to experiencing them. The first two books are definitely rather 90s-fantasy-written-by-a-bloke in the way women characters are treated, but they were compelling and often funny reading. I do like the authorial voice which is generally unfussy plain English, with an often dry wit, and I can't help wondering whether the original Polish has the same feel to it.

I have a pre-order due on 7 June, The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian, and want to waste no time reading it on arrival.

I will be very interested in hearing about the Witcher novels.
