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.
All Is Bright

kevin
Another beautiful romance novella from Llinos Cathryn Thomas.
The North Wales setting. Bethan's return to her childhood village. Revisiting her feelings about growing up, differences, acceptance are all treated with care and love.
Mali's approach and experiences reflecting back on Bethan's - gently holding up a mirror to her life and what she really wants.
A lovely Christmas read.

Fantasy & Science Fiction, March/April 2021
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A better than average first issue under the new editor, Sheree Renée Thomas, it features interesting stories by C. L. Polk, Madeleine E. Robins, Molly Tanzer, Robin Furth and a fascinating story by Marie Brennan based on the legend of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter".
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.
The Queen of Ieflaria

sapphiction
I unintentionally binged this awesome fantasy. This book is was nearly impossible to put down, but I had to eat every now and then. Such a fun read!
I love the world-building, the dialogue, the characters, and pretty much everything about this book.
I can't wait for the sequel! I'm reading it next. Errr, I'll probably binge it too...
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.

Fermi's Progress: Planet of the Apiaries
Recommended by
kevin
The Fermi crew is a mess, but in Planet of the Apiaries, they're starting to come together. Starting to discover their roles, and what each of them means to the others... even if they can't remember them all.
The sci-fi references come thick and fast, but are never exclusionary. This fantastic third instalment ups the ante and drops a bombshell in its final line!
Must read sci-fi!
Fantasy & Science Fiction, January/February 2020
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An okay issue, with interesting stories by Essa Hansen, Matthew Hughes, Alex Irvine, Albert E. Cowdrey and Auston Habershaw.
The Thief's Gamble
Recommended by
kevin
I was intrigued by the promise of a living fantasy world, instead of the usual "I was there three thousand years ago, Gandalf. And look, we're still using swords!"
A world where characters have lives, likes and concerns. Where technologies and discoveries change over time. This is epic fantasy that covers the passage of time in a meaningful way.
A fantastic series.
