I’ve dug Picacio’s art for years, but he’s killing it in The Invisible Parade. The 4pg spread near the end? One of the best I’ve ever seen. Just incredible.

Today at the Blog, senior editor @joesherry.bsky.social reviews SILVER AND LEAD, the newest of the October Daye novels by Seanan McGuire " so much of the stuff we look for in an October Daye novel" www.nerds-feather.com/2026/04/silv...

Hey @aidanis.fun you mentioned Nintendo Force on your pod. How’s the print edition?

I’m really digging Mira Grant / Seanan McGuire’s new novel Overgrowth. It’s *very* McGuire and feels like a successor to Newsflesh. Overgrowth is a different sort of book, but, like, it tracks that the same person wrote them. Basically it’s my gross, uncomfortable comfort read.

The October Daye Reread: The Unkindest Tide Senior Editor @joesherry.bsky.social continues his re-read of McGuire's urban fantasy series. www.nerds-feather.com/2024/12/the-...

I’m in a weird reading funk. Finished one book, a sequel to a delightful novel, and found it tedious. Started another by a fav author and it’s ambitious but is not landing for me right now.

Nanoreviews: Alliance Unbound, Nuclear War, Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear Senior editor @joesherry.bsky.social has our quick hits of 3 reviews today at the NOAF blog www.nerds-feather.com/2024/12/nano...

Also next up: the forthcoming Mary Robinette Kowal novel The Martian Contingency. New Lady Astronaut book. If you like the series you’ll like this.

Next up: Samantha Mills’ The Wings Upon Her Back.

I truly dug Breath of Oblivion. It’s chock full of adventure and dealing with shit, but it very much has the middle book thing where it doesn’t so much end as it does set up the next / presumably concluding book.

*deep sigh* Anyway, I did my round-up post of award-eligible work for the year! Nothing much, just one novel, three novellas, one novelette, and seven short stories, ha ha, I am going to go lie down now premeemohamed.com/eligibility-...

Connie Willis may have a new Oxford Time Travel novel coming out next year: The Spanner in the Works - though I just realized I have my date from goodreads so…we’ll see.

Next up: The Breath of Oblivion, by Maurice Broaddus. It’s the follow up to 2022’s excellent Sweep of Stars. It’s a bold and ambitious space opera. Absolutely a series to check out.

Finished up He Who Drowned the World. Impressive novel, and since I don’t know anything of China’s Ming Dynasty it was all new to me.

The October Daye Reread: Night and Silence Our senior editor @joesherry.bsky.social continues his read ofMcGuire's Urban Fantasy series at the NOAF blog www.nerds-feather.com/2024/11/the-...

Hello new followers! We are an award winning SFF blog with a strong stable of some of the best reviewers and columnists in SFF today. We love science fiction and fantasy, and we hope you do, too.

Halfway through Shelley Parker-Chan's He Who Drowned the World and it's a very impressive follow up to a stunning debut. Not quite as un-put-downable, perhaps, but deeply compelling.

Yooooo. Bear's White Space novels are excellent space opera and you don't want to miss another Karen Memory book. 2025 is fixing to be a great year for books.

If someone can tell me that Diana Rowland has a new White Trash Zombie book coming out next year you'll totally make my day. Those books are a lot of fun.

I need to start plugging myself into genre spaces (I think). I feel so out of step with the super cool books coming out. Like - I just discovered K.B. Wagers has a new Neo-G book in, like, a week. That's absolutely lovely.

Nerds of a Feather, Flock Together Unofficial Hugo Book Club Blog There were 286 ballots cast for 80 nominees. Finalists got between 20 and 70 votes. (2/2) #Glasgow2024 #HugoFinalists #Hugos

Hey, so, in positive genre news I recently finished S.L. Huang's The Water Outlaws and that novel is DOPE. Friggin fantastic. I could see the fights in my head. It's thrilling and brutal and one of my favorites of last year.

Arturo Serrano (@carturo222.bsky.social) has been very active as a writer over the past year, writing first-rate reviews and conducting interviews. I'd love to see him get a Hugo nod. Just a whole bunch of links: www.nerds-feather.com/2023/12/inte... www.nerds-feather.com/2023/12/rebe...

Another really great writer who does excellent work at @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social is @pheebz.bsky.social. One of the smartest blog posts we read last year was her piece "Andor Translating Theory into Community Action." It's 🔥🔥🔥! She deserves a nod in fan writer.

Nerds of a Feather 2024 Hugo Award Recommendation List: Part 1 Welcome to the Nerds of a Feather 2024 Hugo Award Recommendation List. It's a bit uncomfortable, this year, given events in Chengdu but here are our major fiction recommendations. www.nerds-feather.com/2024/01/nerd...

At the time of announcing the final Hugo ballot, we will also publish the reasons for any disqualifications of potential finalists, and any withdrawals of potential finalists from the ballot. (6/9)

Penn Jillette has more or less renounced libertarianism, which is good

Hi! So I'm L, I do a lot in SFF and one of those things I do is run the Ignyte Awards. We're a spec lit award centering the perspectives/contributions of BIPOC in genre. We came about because existing legacy institutions sustain(ed) practices disrespectful or exclusionary of marginalized creators.

Alright besties: we’ve got another union walkout tomorrow, timed with the Oscar noms announcement. Don’t click on any links from Vanity Fair, Vogue, Bon Appetit, GQ, Glamour, Self, Allure, Teen Vogue, Condé Nast Traveler, etc: ✊ www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

The Wheel of Time Reread: The Path of Daggers Welcome back, dear readers, to The Wheel of Time Reread. Today your host on this reread, @joesherry.bsky.social talks about The Path of Daggers, the eighth book in the series. www.nerds-feather.com/2024/01/the-...

statement

So - while nobody is entitled to an award or to be a finalist for an award, it is reasonable to expect the administrators of an award to follow their own rules. When they don't - they cheat people out of the opportunity and honor to be a finalist or possible win an award. That's a loss.

Same. There are some weird "ineligibles" here.
