Hmmm
I really liked Sea of Tranquility. She’s a really good writer.
A couple of hours into the audiobook of BABEL. It really grabs you by the lapels and pulls you along.
Re the SFWA Story Bundle, there is a typo in an author’s name. It should read Laura Bickle, not Laura Rickle.
I can definitely recommend:
Stolen Focus by Johann Hari and Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
Two of the Best SF &F were “meh” for me and two I DNF’ed. I’m getting pickier in my old age.
