Jana: This week I’m reading Kate Elliott’s latest novel, Unconquerable Sun, the first book in THE SUN CHRONICLES, a trilogy most frequently described as “gender-flipped Alexander the Great in space.” I’m also reading Jonathan Strathan’s upcoming The Year’s Best Science Fiction Vol. 1: The Saga Anthology of Science Fiction 2020; since most of the stories in this collection are new to me, I’m discovering some interesting gems.

Kelly: I read The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi this week. I loved their 2019 YA novel, Pet, so I was really curious about this new release. It’s good, though there wasn’t as much SF/F in it as I might have hoped. Review to come. Now I’ve started Emily Tesh’s Drowned Country. As I write this, two characters have just landed in a bizarre supernatural situation and … promptly gotten into an argument about an academic paper, which is just the type of thing I find hilarious.
