Steel Frame
Recommended by
kevin
As stunning, different, deep, exhilarating, and as wonderfully written as Origin Complex, but with a rawness that its successor lacks, in place of sequel polish.
Two exciting books in this science fiction universe is simply not enough. Sorry, Andrew.
Memory
Recommended by
kevin
An amazing story that more than fulfils my need for great world-building. Such a creative mix of the unrecognisable, beautiful prose, and an uncanny skill for weaving technology into mythology.
Memory is slow to build, but when it does, it does so steadily. As our characters explore the 'Ring of the World' we learn with them, understand with them and fight back with them.
A wonderful read.
Blood Witch
Recommended by
Yazae
Fun urban fantasy with sapphic witches and demoness, can’t say no to that !
The Language of Power
Recommended by
kevin
An amazing instalment in the Steerswoman fantasy series.
We're back to the Inner Lands now and we're learning more and more about this world and what's going on.
In this book, we finally see what wizards can do. And the steerswoman and the Outlander take the fight straight to their door.
If you enjoy excellent world-building and puzzling plots, start reading The Steerswoman series. Now!
Cure: Book One in the Strandville Zombie Series
Recommended by
weaver
I admit this was my first time reading a zombie book. The zombie genre hasn't always been my favorite in film and television, so I wasn't keen on reading a zombie book. But Frisch has a medical background and that made this book very interesting, as it revolved around a hospital. Very enjoyable, my only regret was that I didn't immediately read the next book so now I have to re-read it. :)
Night Calls - Sample Chapter
Recommended by
kevin
Well I certainly loved this sample!
Moved along at a nice pace. Plenty of events, but not rushed. Language, descriptions and sense of location & time seem spot-on. It's the first in a series too.
I'm intrigued and excited to read more. Just what a sample should do. And it's from Book View Cafe, so I know 90% my money will go to the author.
Off to buy the full book asap!
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Nov/Dec 2021

A better than average issue with some intersting stories by Nalo Hopkinson, Graham Edwards, Eleanor Arnason, K. A. Teryna, Hayley Stone and Jennie Goloboy.

Perihelion Summer
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An interesting tale of immediate survival in the face of catastrophic climate change. Compared to his previous stories, there isn't as much 'hard science' involved here, but surviving the changes would involve making tough decisions about how they can prepare and save themselves from the oncoming global crises.
The Sad Bastard Cookbook
Recommended by
Ree
This cookbook got me to try preparing meals that didn't come in a box. Recipes here are straightforward and interspersed with bits of nerdy humor. (I think I have as many pages bookmarked for references I enjoyed as for recipes I want to try.) There are also some fancier meals for when you're having a good day and want to try something more advanced.
Have a free cookbook, as a treat.
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!
In the Sweep of the Bay
Recommended by
sakina
Why do we make the choices we do? Social and family pressures, personal beliefs of our place in society and of how our lives are supposed to be. This is a book that lets you look inside the lives of one family, and gives you the sense of understanding that a bitter or reserved exterior can hide losses that no-one else knows about.
