Welcome to our first bookish news post! We’ve got a nice mix to share today, so let’s dive right in.
Voting is open for the Books Are My Bag Reader Awards! And, there are two SFF books in the Fiction category! The nominations are also open for the Readers’ Choice category, so head on over to cast your votes.
New series for Stephen Aryan. It’s been announced that next year will see the start of a new series from the author of The Coward, the Age of Darkness and the Age of Dread trilogies. The Judas Blossom is a Persian-inspired fantasy story that blends historical events with magic and war. Check out the announcement and cover reveal here.
Sapphic space opera from Aliette de Bodard. If next year sounds like a long time to wait, we’re less than a month from the publication of The Red Scholar’s Wake by Aliette de Bodard. Waterstones says this “science fiction epic sees an intergalactic arranged marriage become something much more sensual in the face of conflict and intrigue.” That sounds pretty darn cool, and we’re adding it to our TBR list right now.
