October 2016 Bookpost
Almost caught up! October's reading was all over the map - some books that have been on the shelf for a long time (Primates and The Apocalypse Door), some 2016 releases (Once Broken Faith and Company Town), the usual pair of magazines, and yet another Zombies Need Brains anthology. I am convinced Joshua Palmatier dreams of breaking Martin H. Greenberg's record for number of SF/F/H anthologies published. He only has 1,291 to go for the tie.
85. Once Broken Faith, Seanan McGuire
86. Primates, Jim Ottaviani and Maris Wicks (graphic novel) - Tells in illustrated form the stories of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey and (3rd name). Ottaviani’s series of graphic novels about notable figures in science (Feynman, Turing) are great fun.
87. The Apocalypse Door, James MacDonald
88. Lightspeed #77 (October 2016)
89. Alien Artifacts, Josh Palmatier and Pamela Bray, eds.
90. Gutenberg’s Apprentice, Alix Christie - Historical fiction revolving around Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press. Folks interested in the history of books or technology and “font nerds” should like this.
91. Apex Magazine #89 (October 2016)
92. Company Town, Madeline Ashby
93. Grandville, Brian Talbot (graphic novel) - Finally made it around to reading the original, after enjoying Grandville: Mon Amour and Grandville: Bete Noir courtesy of the 2011 and 2013 Hugo Reading Packets.
94. The Warrior’s Apprentice, Lois McMaster Bujold (reread)
95. Apex Magazine #90 (November 2016)
