We saw VERY few nominations for books in December, and I know everyone is very busy with the season. We’ll open nominations for January at the end of the month so be thinking about it.

INSTEAD… we are going to be reading some short stories for those that still want to have something to read together.

Let’s read:

  • This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
  • The Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang
  • The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster

If you have other suggestions we can throw them out here too. I’ll create discussion for these three for now.

    Bacigalupi’s The Alchemist is fantastic as well. It’s an unexpected spin on his usual post apocalyptic material, this one is fantasy flavored. The entire collection (The Tangled Lands, jointly written with Tobias Buckell) is good but this is the best story of the bunch.
