forestofglory: Cup of tea on a pile of books (books)
[personal profile] forestofglory
When I need to cheer myself up about life I sometimes post a list of good things. This last week the online SFF community has needed some cheering up so here are some things I'm enjoying about SFF and the communty right now.

1) Zen Cho has new story out! “Monkey King, Faerie Queen” I loved it!

2) I'm very excited about this new quarterly short fiction servery being run by Renay, Jodie, Cecily, and Jonah.

3) Fantasy Cafe is hosting women in SF&F month.

4) Some of my favorite short fiction writers Ken Liu, Zen Cho, and Aliette de Bodard all have novels coming out this year.

5) Lots of other excellent authors have novels coming out too including Kate Elliot and N.K. Jemisin.

6) Remember how I joined Twitter and few months ago? I like it way more than I thought I would. Cool fandom people and authors sometimes interact with me. Also I get links to lots of interesting stuff I wouldn't find otherwise.

7) I have been reading fun stuff lately including Voyage of the Basilisk by Marie Brennan, Kate Elliot's Crossroads Trilogy, and the 1st volume of Rat Queens.

8) Another short story I read recently and enjoyed was "The Shape of My Name" by Nino Cipri I might have skipped it but several people recommended it to me and I'm glad they did.

9) My library has been pretty good to me. I have Karen Memory out now, and I'm up to third in line for Station Eleven.

10) Have I mentioned lately that I'm impressed with the range of ebook reprints available from Open Road Media? Some authors their that I would recommend: Samel R Delany, Lisa Goldstein, and Barbara Hambly

Oh wow, books, books, books! Thanks for the Zen Cho story link - I would have missed that. I have recently read Spirits Abroad, which was seriously wonderful and which I now want as a print book (ebooks are ephemeral, but paper is for ever).

And I've just got Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor, which I'm pretty chuffed about. I had been looking for vegetarian cookbooks.
