Really intrigued by this one!! High praise, SF, and a behemoth at 1,200 pages.

I much prefer physical books, but a 1,200 page HC seems unwieldy. I think the ebook will provide a better reading experience.

Got this in the post yesterday (thanks @headofzeus.bsky.social!) - honestly, I've been waiting years for this! It's widely considered to be THE Polish SF masterpiece. 1000+(!) pages, and finally in English. Can't wait!

After reading Wireworks in September issue of @clarkesworldmagazine.com I picked up @sherisingerling.bsky.social book Nythom.

Just read The Seed from the April issue of Clarkesworld & picked up Neuen for $0.99. The Seed is EXCELLENT & u should check it out (link in comments)

#BookSky 💙📚🪐 #SciFisky
Just a heads up that I’m running a discount on the Neuen ebook for the next few days. Grab a copy from a distributor of your choice for $0.99 (and other currency equivalents).

I've read the 3 Clarkesworld stories from @louisinglishall.bsky.social and all of them are excellent reads, worthy of award consideration. If you haven't checked out his work, I highly recommend it. I'm always excited to see new stories from Hall in Clarkesworld!

I had five stories come out this year -
if you are reading for awards I’d be really grateful if you gave them your consideration, or maybe even told a friend.

Book 75 of 2025 The Heist of Hollow London by Eddie Robson

Normally a heist has clues throughout to who's behind the deception. Lack of groundwork left me feeling like the ending was a gimmick. Can't recommend.

Really enjoyed @garykwolfe.bsky.social thoughts & he's definitely got me interested in reading Adam-Troy Castro’s “The Three Thousand, Four Hundred Twenty-Third Law of Robotics” & T.J. Klune’s “Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!”

Looking forward to getting my hands on this one!

This was my favorite (amongst a very strong issue) from Septembers @clarkesworldmagazine.com

It's a complete story, but left me wanting to explore this world & what transpired. Clarkesworld continues to expose me to new, wonderful writers!

Just finished Ballad for Sophie by Filipe Melo & Juan Cavia — absolutely breathtaking. A moving story of music, regret, & redemption, told with stunning art and real emotional weight. 5⭐️, no question. Another smash hit recommendation from @sfgeek.bsky.social

I can't imagine anyone else playing Una!! Rebecca Romijn has been outstanding! It's a shame she didn't get more time in S3. I wish they'd spend some time on her backstory w/Pike - exploring the time @unamccormack.bsky.social crafted so beautifully in SNW Asylum.

Book 72 of 2025 Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds

Disappointed as I was expecting to enjoy this one. A story that is a bit bloated, lacking in character motivation, and one that I can't recommend.
