Dispersion
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A fascinating tale set in a world where people are physically separated into six factions. To one faction, members of other factions can be physically invisible. But now a deadly disease called the Dispersion is affecting their bodies, making them become part of another faction. And it's up to a group of scientists to figure out how their world works and how the Dispersion affects them.
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".
Becoming Crone (The Crone Wars)
Recommended by
kevin
Fans of urban fantasy looking for a protagonist who is a little more... mature, will love Becoming Crone.
Claire has seen it all, or so she thinks. Her world-weariness, her highly-developed lack of trust, and her not-unexpected ability to expect things to go wrong make her the perfect character to introduce us to a world of witches, gargoyles, werewolves, and witches, plenty of witches.
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.
Galaxy's Edge Issue 43: Tribute Issue
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A nice, average issue with fun stories by Andrew Peery, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Larry Hodges, J. Scott Coatsworth, Eleanor R. Wood, Janis Ian and Mike Resnick. Between the stories are appreciations by numerous writers about Mike Resnick's influence on themselves and the SF community.
Clarkesworld Magazine Issue 202

INTERZONE #281 (MAY-JUN 2019)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A rather light-weight issue with stories that probably appeal to those who prefer a more 'literary' style of SF than what I would normally read. The stories that I found interesting were by James Warner, Andy Dudak and Malcolm Devlin.
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.
Bridges of Smoke (Achilles Protocol, #1)
Recommended by
juliemarchbooks
I mean, I gotta recommend my own book, right?
The Steerswoman
Recommended by
kevin
An amazing fantasy tale that slowly unfolds to reveal a surprising twist.
At first, all seems familiar. You recognise the world of wizards and the ranger-like steerswomen. But, just like the steerswomen themselves, the more you learn, the more sense you begin to make of this world. Something isn't quite right.
Rosemary Kirstein has me hooked! I've already started the next book in the series.
Fantasy & Science Fiction, November/December 2020
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An interesting collection with good stories from Nadia Afifi, Nick Dichario, Lyndsie Manusos and an interesting take on the zombie invasion story by Sarina Dorie, trying it with school safety protocols that may or may not work.
Night Calls
Recommended by
kevin
Bought the full book immediately after enjoying the sample from Book View Cafe!
This magical, period adventure moved along at a quick pace. Plenty of events, but not al all rushed. The language, descriptions and sense of location & time seem spot-on.
It's the first in a series too, so I'm excited to read more.
Books like this are why I love buying and reading indie ebooks!
