July Book Study Pre-Poll: SF!

Kitty Pryde · Jun 2, 2010

Now taking science fictional suggestions for the July Book Study:
This month we're looking at recent award-winners (last decade or so), SF with LGBT protagonists, or other awesome SF novels.

Include a link to info on the book too please. Thanks!

While Perdido Street Station was steampunk like, how about another steampunk?

Boneshaker looks interesting and it is nominated for a Hugo this year (so maybe an award winner

)

I'm all for Steampunk. Has anyone on AW published a Steampunk novel?

Kitty Pryde · Jun 2, 2010

Boneshaker does look neat. It's out in trade paperback.

I will nominate "By the Mountain Bound" by Elizabeth Bear. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0765318830/?tag=absolutewritedm-20 Postapocalyptic gay vikings 2000 years in the future. Can't go wrong with that, i say!

I don't think so. Might be a question for... roundtable? PM Mac? She's been pretty on top of what AWers are publishing.

That book sounds interesting and full of mythology win too!

That sounds awesome!! OK, so I don't usually participate in book studies, but I'm totally checking out that book.

We've done some Gaiman already, but Stardust might be good.
