Currently reading Ken Liu's next novel, the technothriller All That We See or Seem, and enjoying it very much.

As always, fascinated by the differering UK/US cover approaches. This is the UK HoZ cover, and is not what I'd imagined. I'm more in step with the US Saga Press edition I think.

I've just been reminded of the time the wonderful @tkingfisher.com said lovely things about Peter S. Beagle and The Last Unicorn so this is a day when I have to remind you that that book is ice and fairy wings and lilacs and the death of everything and if you have not read it you absolutely should.

I am maybe a fifth of the way through Al Reynolds new SF noir novel Halcyon Years and its fun. The book really wears its influences on its sleeve. Though I'm still working on whyYuri Gagarin?
