Lightening the Load

Despite my best efforts we can't review everything we get sent, and so 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 six also-rans 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.
