In today's review, I continue to struggle with science fiction from the 70s and 80s.
Newton's Wake. Everything else I've found of his is in the middle of a series.
The Baxter and Reynolds are both excellent. I'll be reading my first MacLeod next month, so fingers crossed.
A new month of blogging has begun, so here are my TBR plans and some books, shows, and even some music that's on my radar.
I had a similar reaction to the Continuance books, though I wouldn't have minded more in the same setting.
Ending the month with a conflicted review of an upcoming novel.
The journey is fun.
The destination? Less so.
Can I squeeze two more reviews into this wretched month? Well, I'm halfway there, as today I visit a disappointing sequel to one of my favourite discoveries of recent yuears.
To end the weekend, here's a quick review of a book that's as exciting as it is thought-provoking.
Incredibly, the cover is even a scene from the book.
Somehow managed to break away from farming long enough to assemble a review. And of a fairly recent book, no less.
Ending the week with a double-stuffed review for one of my favourite authors.
Not a fan of Le Guin or Tiptree, but I'll keep an eye out for Russ
Pern! Now there's something I've not read in a long time.
Listened to Dreamsnake recently and wasn't impressed, but I hope ro find some Lee one day. (Her contributions to Blakes 7 were fantastic)
Butler is someone I'm very keen to read.
I'm not saying nominating me for Best Fan Writer is the best use of your time.
But ...
Join me, dear reader, as I take a look at three science fiction books from the 1970s.
Spoiler, it's probably my least favourite decade for the genre.
A review to end the weekend. And some thoughts on how rereads are a tricky business.
It's going to be a very busy month, so here's my TBR, in which I keep things short and sweet.
Of the ones I've read, Gibson impressed the most. Looking forward to reading more.
Of the others, I hope to fins some Greenland in the wild one day.
Rounding off my Vintage SF Month reading with a look at the works of Edmund Cooper, one of my favourite lesser-known British authors.
It's been a crazy week for tiny books, so here are some equally pint-sized reviews.
In today's blog, I make the case for finishing a book even if you're not enjoying it.
(I omitted the additional motivation offered by petty spite and stubbornness)
Another round of very quick reviews to see us all through the weekend.
An inspiration to us all.
My Masterworks editions now have their own bookcase. Albeit one shared with the Venture SF range.
I think Alexei Panshin's Rites of Passage might just have the edge over it for me, but it's close.
