You may never hear of these again

So far this year, I've completed either 18 or 20 books (depending on whether you count omnibus editions as single books or as the individual titles that are in them) and have actually managed to write reviews for 6 of them. Since I don't seem to be inundating anyone with a massive flood of review posts, I thought it might also be nice to occasionally post up the books that I'm acquiring and may never get around to reading.

There are only two books this week, neither of which has been released yet.
