Discoverability for new SFF books seems way down these days, especially outside of bestsellers and certain subgenres. I'm noticing this as both a reader and a writer. Great stuff is in danger of sinking without a trace. Please post about new/recent books you love or are excited for!!! I'll start:

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

Eriss has four arms and an extra brain, making her the only starship pilot who is her own copilot. She also has chronic anxiety. That's not as helpful. Her most recent worry? Her brain has been hacked. Preorder The Star Husks now! #spaceopera #booksky dnschmidt.com/news/star-hu...

Good morning Womble! Hope you feel better soon. About halfway through Heretics of Dune in my series re-read. Looking forward to Chapterhouse at this point, and then getting back to the Rihannsu series. I also just got some Alien Legion TPBs that are now eagerly staring me down 👀

Tidal knows not to put it in my Discovery Playlist, and I don’t really watch the news (the news covers songs now? With everything else going on?), so stuff like this is bound to pass me by. I'm not the target market. But it's not like I wear that ignorance like a badge of honor. Maybe I should?

Much as we love bookshops, they need more than love to keep going. A bookshop can be the centre of a whole community. Bookshops support authors; organize events. A thriving bookshop teaches the next generation that literacy matters. So don't just love your bookshop: actually buy books there.

Good morning Womble! Finished God Emperor of Dune last night, as I continue my Dune series re-read. Starting Heretics of Dune today. Still staring me down defiantly is Stand on Zanzibar; after 200 *wild* pages I needed a break, and have yet to return.

WSJ Writer: "Did McQuarrie/Chiang/etc. do this piece as concept art before the film was made, or as promotional art during/after the film was made? HOW WILL I KNOW WITHOUT A TINY PLAQUE FOR CONTEXT" Me (in theory, I'll probably never get out there to visit): "This rocks."

RIP, Gerrit Graham. My sister and I watched him in "Used Cars" approximately a bajillion times growing up. I can't find a YouTube clip of his funniest scene, involving Jeff's intense superstition, but his turn as Marshall Lucky in a fake ad is pretty great, too.

This is actually a good thing. Star Trek doesn't need more Kirk stories. We already have seventeen thousand quadrillion and a half Kirk stories. What Star Trek needs is new material.

Good morning Womble! Back on my Dune series re-read for my YouTube channel, now in the middle of God Emperor of Dune. Here's where the vibe of the series shifts a bit (a 3k year jump will do that), but I love a good Herbert two-hander scene and this book is full of them.
