Shanghai Book Fair '26 saw @aptshadow.bsky.social 's books from three Chinese publishing houses: p2: four of the Terrible Worlds novellas; p3&p4: the first three Children of Times books; p5: Cage of Souls (previously serialised on SFW magazine, as well as some others, yet to be published in books)

Eight Light Minutes released a teaser on Weibo and Rednote (pic1), mimicking Rocky's tone in the post. However, xerosoul has already spoiled the Chinese cover (pic2) of Children's Time. (Both links in alt text) I'm wondering if the spider in pic1 is drawn by @aptshadow.bsky.social himself😜

My very bookish Christmas tree v2 (again, all physical books that I read this year). Merry X'mas!

Adrian Tchaikovsky(@aptshadow.bsky.social)'s House of Open Wounds starts its serialisation on Science Fiction World (Translations) this month, two years after the Chinese translation of City of Last Chances. I guess they need to speed up; they are translating the series slower than AT writing it...

Hearing reports that some of you have not been informed that we are casting the net far and wide to determine the science fiction and fantasy favorites of the year. Here's me amending that:

Join us. In honor of hitting triple digits in responses I was awarded one (1) DVD of The Hobbit (1977). It was so cool and metallic. I await my next reward, contingent on the number of responses

My modest "Tchai Trove". Considering the distance across half the globe, I'm contented with the adequacy😉 (of the quantity). Read all of them, and some more e-books. Enjoyed all of them. Looking forward to the continuations in two major series as well as more standalones from AT in the coming year!

two boxes on my shelf dedicated to Adrian Tchaikovsky's novels.

Katabasis UK edition (R) and its Chinese translation (L). Approaching the end of the former, will probably re-read with the latter.

Amazing! certainly beats my The Expanse rip-off 3yr ago (www.reddit.com/r/AdrianTcha...)

My very bookish Christmas tree, composed of all physical books that I read/re-read this year. Merry X'mas!

A stack of the physical books that I read/re-read this year, roughly in the shape of a Christmas tree.

Received my The Broken Binding version of The Three-body Problem. It's gorgeous!

A solid start to a promising trilogy. Not as thrilling as Leviathan Wakes, though, IMHO.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the AI-laxy"! "Service Model" is my most enjoyable read in this year by far. It's a pity that this gorgeous edition arrived only after I finished reading a plain edition (will probably give the latter to a friend and pass the thrill on).

Looking forward to it! My first reading slot in the next year (2025) has been reserved for this.

@aptshadow.bsky.social Adrian Tchaikovsky's City of Last Chances finishes its serialisation on Science Fiction World (Translations) this month. This is his first novel published in Chinese. Cage of Souls will start serialisation in May. Still in three parts (May, Jul, Sep), I guess.
