One day, you will put my book on that stack.
The Best of Michael Swanwick. To educate myself.
Then Being Michael Swanwick. Because of the homage it pays to his book to his friend. But not Malkovich.
OBOY!

AND a “Best Of” as well
that’s the two:
“Best Of Michael Swanwick” and “Being Michael Swanwick”
Plus the new MacLeod
Looks like a rich haul indeed
I’m looking at the new Kevin Hearne-Shattered
The font on “Gundog” makes me want to fight someone.
Thanks. I could not decipher the title of Gary Whitta’s book.
Looked online and this guy liked it…. Might add it to the growing stack.

THIS JUST IN
“…this year, Kit Kat has launched a churro flavor…”

BTW
for those with limited bandwidth or high prices on 5G data on devices… lite.cnn.com is text only no videos no photographs… so fast loads and zero popups-overlays-flickering-resizing-etc… as well ‘power miser’ which is especially useful for anyone trapped in midst a climate hellzone such as a category 7 hurricane (Florida) or another out-of-control flaming forest (Canada)
[ suggestion to Athena Scalzi, assembling list of such sites for those in a sudden climate hellzone, needful article, especially if it is a frequently updated page ]
GUNDOG?
huh… that looked like a cyberpunk font for Hebrew… I was struggling to read it right-to-left
SWANWICK
that’s on my to-be-read list
I enjoyed Harrow’s “Spindle”/”Mirror” books – fairytale re-imaginings with a multiverse “choose your own story” aspect.
Gundog did sound interesting – a bit like the premise of the “Gurren Lagann” manga…
Sharon Shinn!
Always happy to see what Subterranean is up to.
@Howard “looked like a cyberpunk font for Hebrew… I was struggling to read it right-to-left”
Had exactly the same reaction. (Or maybe Aramaic, though the market is significantly smaller and they mainly use Syriac these days.)
Shattered by Kevin Hearne. I LOVE his books almost as much as yours!
Am about to start on Ascension – brilliant high concept idea!
Is that a new Sharon Shinn? I’m so glad she’s still writing! Must acquire!
