As we were asked, "Why haven't you done one?" I've put together a list of possible genre reads for the Summer. We tried to be light-hearted and fun, then we realised that most of our favourite reads over the last year haven't been! Nevertheless, might be of interest. www.sffworld.com/2026/08/summ...

Finally read Red Rising by Pierce Brown. Very Hunger Games. Noticeably a debut novel - uneven, with good parts followed by clunky moments, wincingly bad dialogue at times and convenient plot points. Some surprises along the way. Am told these get better. Will continue with the series at some point.
