The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitsaei

I really enjoyed the main character: a former antiquities thief who's trying to go straight and get a PhD in the field. But, oops, one last job! I like that she had some life under her belt, and it didn't seem over the top that she was good at what she does. The world-building was creative and fresh in many aspects.

Kitasei is an author to watch.

I very much enjoyed Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary. A massively fun jaunt that absolutely held my attention! I’ve caught some reviews criticising some of the tropes it trots out but for me in the context of the story being told they worked well.

Next I’ve started Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time. A few chapters in and this already has me hooked.

All “read” as wonderfully performed audiobooks. I am time-poor right now but my ears are often free.

Did some pruning of my Beta and ARC team lists. Which means, there are openings!!!

Beta Readers: https://forms.gle/jnvbK99qjKHQu8XR9

ARC Team: https://forms.gle/zLpgynPbbYJoMGH78

You can sign up for both if you like, that's fine. Both groups get a free copy of the finished book when it releases.

I cull the list from time to time when I see folks repeatedly not participating. Next book will likely be sometime around November.

I never win anything - until now! I won a copy of "Halfway to Better" by @susankayequinn from her podcast "Bright Green Futures" - a must listen for anyone into fiction, solarpunk, hopepunk, climate fiction, and other similar works! I read one of her fantastic short stories in "Solarpunk Magazine" a few issues ago, and I am exicited to read more!

The Left Hand of Dog by Si Clarke

In dystopian fiction, the future can look bleak.
But when is that future actually? ⏱️

From 1980's Mad Max to Brave New World in 2540, I organized all these futures in a timeline to help you see the future clearer.

I love how Evan Currie in his "Odyssey One" seems to have embraced the memes of humans as space orcs, because another description of it I would say is WTAF-as-a-Series 🤣
They have various adventures, that often are of the "the what now?" variety, and actions and results of the main character are usually met with "they did WHAT?!" reaction by enemies, and often allies 😂
Highly recommend!

Escaping Exodus by Nicky Drayden

The gender flipped 1950's style matriarchy was the least interesting part of the book. Kind of heavy-handed, it nonetheless set a good background for societal change. Throw in some love stories and overbearing parents, and you've got a solid YA SciFi novel. I did really enjoy the spaceships as well. Quite an interesting take.

Oh, plus 2 Romance authors who joined a Horror promo and weren't kicked for some reason. 🤔 I guess that one "Billionaire Daddy-Bro" is horror to me... I just imagine E. M*sk. 😜 Bleh!

What the f***?

Stephen King gives a blunt three word response when discovering 23 of his books have been banned from school libraries in Florida, a law which is now being challenged by six major book publishers.
