Between the Scanlines - Issue 1
Recommended by
kevin
I love a good zine! And Between the Scanlines hits the sweet spot for me; not too long that it stretches each issue, yet filled with plenty of retro gaming info.
Sasha and Kit are doing amazing work here. Buy as many issues as you can, and fill your eyes with gaming goodness with a lovely helping of personality and passion!
INTERZONE #281 (MAY-JUN 2019)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A rather light-weight issue with stories that probably appeal to those who prefer a more 'literary' style of SF than what I would normally read. The stories that I found interesting were by James Warner, Andy Dudak and Malcolm Devlin.
The Voyages of Cinrak the Dapper
Recommended by
kevin
A. J. Fitzwater has written a beautiful, hopeful, light-filled and joyous book!
This mosaic title filled with anthropomorphic rodents, sea creatures, mer folk and... cats, will more than make you smile. With a swashbuckling capybara pirate captain and chinchilla kraken-communicating ship's mate adventuring with their pure hearts to... bearded islands...? You'll never want this adventure to end!

A Duet for Invisible Strings
Recommended by
kevin
A Duet for Invisible Strings is a romance novella filled with music, mystery, and love, with a paranormal twist, and is my perfect romance story.
The writing is often haunting, and at other times, sweetly hilarious. Which, in all, paints the most wonderful picture.
A beautiful romance that I just couldn't put down. A must read for anyone looking for deep characters in a short book.

One of the better issues of F&SF I've read so far under editor Sheree Renée Thomas, with a good mix of stories that make the reader think or feel for the characters. Very noteworthy is "Nana" by Carl Walmsley, with a twist at the end that will make you reread the entire story in a new light.
