This is where you talk to us about your monthly SF Reads: whether good or bad, we want to discuss with you what you thought.

Read a little more into Katya's World by Jonathan L. Howard. I think this will be a fun read.

Been reading more of it too. Definitely one that makes you want to read just anther chapter, and a very interesting world too.

I've also started reading War of Honor as it's been a while since I read Ashes of Victory. I think I'll just focus on the main series for now and then go back to the other side-series once I'm caught up.

Grrr. Mine should have arrived on Saturday. Sometime today then. Until it arrives I'll be finishing a Miles Vorkosigan novella, Labyrinth.

While a few novels of various kinds vie for attention on my reading list, I think I will either get seriously into Fractal prince or read an independent series debut with massive Weberian overtones (from names, to wormholes, though DW is subtler as here some of the apparent villains are a bit too caricature-ish Middle Eastern like, though of course there is the People's Republic aka Dominion of Unified citizenry here and its Citizen Secretary etc etc and the good guys are called Victoria and are led by Queen Beatrice), Alarm of war by Kennedy Hudner

Alarm of war moves briskly in the 50 or so pages I read while fractal Prince is still very cluttered as style goes (though it seems a bit more flowing than Quantum Thief), so we'll see

I finished Catching Fire and Mockinjay by Suzanne Collins, a combination of fast, easy reading and extremely violent, dark subject - a good choice for holiday, but I don't think I will be interested in a re-read. The Hunger Games remains the best of the series.

I'm not sure what I will pick up next, probably some classic SF I've missed.

Sorry, Dang.

So far, so typical IMB.

Whilst you're waiting, you might want to watch this from last week: the glorious Iain, with Alastair Reynolds and Peter F Hamilton in discussion. Makes an hour go very quickly.....

Score! Thank you! It would have taken me a while to come upon this.
