The Locus Recommended Reading List was published at the beginning of this month. Many of the books listed on it are available from the Wizard’s Tower bookstore. I thought it would be a good idea to remind you all of some of them.
Top of the list has to be Jagannath, the wonderful debut collection from Karin Tidbeck. I say that because the book has also won this year’s Crawford Award. We’ve sold lots copies of Jagannath, but there might still be a few people who don’t have it. It is a lovely book.
As for the rest of the list, here are the ones we have.
- Worldsoul, Liz Williams (Prime)
- Shoggoths in Bloom, Elizabeth Bear (Prime)
- Cracklescape, Margo Lanagan (Twelfth Planet)
- At the Edge of Waking, Holly Phillips (Prime)
- Ancient, Ancient, Kiini Ibura Salaam (Aqueduct)
- Moscow But Dreaming, Ekaterina Sedia (Prime)
- Ishtar, Amanda Pillar & K. V. Taylor, eds. (Gilgamesh)
- Rock On: The Greatest Science Fiction & Fantasy Hits, Paula Guran, ed. (Prime)
- Robots: Recent AI, Rich Horton & Sean Wallace, eds. (Prime)
- Beyond Binary: Genderqueer and Sexually Fluid Speculative Fiction, Brit Mandelo, ed. (Lethe)
- We Wuz Pushed: On Joanna Russ and Radical Truth-Telling, Brit Mandelo (Aqueduct)
- Through Splintered Walls, Kaaron Warren (Twelfth Planet)
The final book, Through Splintered Walls, is on the list because of the novella, “Sky”, which is on the Recommended Reading list and takes up much of the book.
