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.

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.

R/evolution

Recommended by
sakina
Mosaic novel: a set of vignettes that link together beautifully to create one of the possible scenarios for the grinding end of the world as we know it.

The Lost Steersman

Recommended by
kevin
A very different book to the previous two in the series.
The Lost Steersman takes a different turn about half-way through, where the scope and scale of the world and its inhabitants undergoes another astonishing twist.
I got a definite Jane Goodall vibe from this book. Our understanding of the steerswomen grows in this wonderful instalment in a fantastic and surprising series. Loved it!

The Outskirter's Secret

Recommended by
kevin
The amazing second book in what is, so far, an outstanding fantasy series.
The Outskirter's Secret expands on the concepts in the first book, but takes us out of the relative safety of the Inner Lands and into the wilderness of the Outskirts.
I can't believe I've only just started reading this series and am already on the third book.
Still a MUST READ.

Homunculus

Recommended by
kevin
A beautiful, heart-breaking, and hopeful book.
The cycle of it, the 'world outside'. And an enduring message of simply being.

The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Jul/Aug 2023

Recommended by
sohkamyung

Glitch Rain

Recommended by
aa5an
Really enjoyed this novella, like early Gibson but with contemporary themes as source material. Drones, social media, self driving cars, AI, etc,....
Hopefully there's more to come.

Saga #1

Recommended by
kevin
Created by writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Fiona Staples, Saga is a beautifully intimate space opera.
It touches on race, religion, conflict, family and love, with a deft hand and imagery that is just sublime.
Proof that Image Comics' creator-owned approach really works. These are the kinds of stories that comics were made for.

INTERZONE #289 (NOV-DEC 2020)

Recommended by
sohkamyung
A lower than average issue with stories that didn't really attract my attention apart from stories by Cécile Cristofari and David Maskill. The tale by Maskill is the 2019 James White Award Winning story

The Language of Power

Recommended by
kevin
An amazing instalment in the Steerswoman fantasy series.
We're back to the Inner Lands now and we're learning more and more about this world and what's going on.
In this book, we finally see what wizards can do. And the steerswoman and the Outlander take the fight straight to their door.
If you enjoy excellent world-building and puzzling plots, start reading The Steerswoman series. Now!

Much Secret Sorrow: Guy of Gisborne 1

Recommended by
kevin
This book pulls you into a richly detailed 12th Century world of politicking lords, dangerous Welsh border raids and a likeable protagonist in the form of Guy of Maebury. A careful, steady feed of recognisable, but not yet legendary, characters tops it all off.
The slow build-up is worth it and does contribute to a much livelier, fuller world and more meaningful character motivations.
