Black Static

It's that sad time again when I take a long, hard look at my TBR pile and decide which books are no longer realistically in contention for a review in the pages of Black Static.

There are thirty eight titles getting " retired" this time around, all of which are now over a year old and some of which probably shouldn't have been sent to me in the first place.
