What are readers recommending?
Her Pretty Knight (Sapphic Lady Knights, #1)
Recommended by
Mage
A enjoyable read, I found myself really invested in the relationship between Della and Galeon, especially through the last few chapters. Its just that during the middle of the book one event can feel disconnected to another, maybe that's just me though.
The Fury of Blacky Jaguar
Recommended by
sakina
Noir-with-a-vengeance, this story drags you round downtown NYC, giving you tonnes of action, gratuitous violence and guns, in return for a 2-hour read. Tightly written, well described, and leaves you breathless.
The Town
Recommended by
kevin
The Town is a fucking rollercoaster of a ride.
This Australian horror is written in a kind of jarring prose. The story is brilliant, terrifying, and utterly refuses to share its secrets with you.
On finishing this book, I promise that the first words out of your mouth will be "WHAT THE FUCK!".
Reminds me of books by China Miéville, John Langan, and Michael Marshall Smith.
Get it now!
The Lampmaker of Low Street

What a great short read!
Can't wait to get started on Simon's other novellas.
A Bagful of Dragon
Recommended by
kevin
I proofread this book for the author, thinking it wouldn't be my kind of thing, but I LOVED IT! Loads of fun, really creepy in parts and full of magic and danger.
Set in Leeds, it includes references to actual magical practices and Yorkshire's thriving magic sub-culture.
A great, fast-paced story with a strong 'Do It Herself' female lead. Can't wait to proof read the sequel.
Daughter of the Sun
Recommended by
sapphiction
Oh, wow, this is an enjoyable read. I literally couldn't put it down. It stole my whole day.
It has gripping plot. The characters are lovable. It has a good amount of humor. Also, a lot of rich world building.
The second I finished it I was bummed out because it was over. I wanted to read it again immediately.

The World Turned Upside Down
Recommended by
Ree
Classic scifi short stories. Even if you're familiar with the tales, it's worth reading the many forewords and afterwords the editors provide, where they examine their own relationships to these stories. (My personal fave: "Shambleau" by C. L. Moore.)
This book is available on several Baen CDs and downloadable free and legally from various sites.
Babylon Steel
Recommended by
kevin
Gaie Sebold has created such a rich universe of worlds and characters in her Babylon Steel novels, that you can't help finding something to enjoy.
For me the two books have been a complete blast and I can't wait for the third... when it arrives.
They are FUN! That's not to say there's no emotion, pathos, danger and risk in them. Not at all.
An absolute riot of multi-world fantasy fiction.
Bridges of Smoke (Achilles Protocol, #1)
Recommended by
juliemarchbooks
I mean, I gotta recommend my own book, right?
Fantasy & Science Fiction, January/February 2019
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An about average issue, with mostly 'mild' fantasy stories (mild in the sense that there is minimal magic involved). Among those that stood out for me are the ones by Carrie Vaughn, Sean McMullen and Pip Coen.
The Book of All Skies

An interesting journey of discovery through a world of many skies
