RedStarReviews Favorite Book Of The Year 2021

In this episode we unveil the winner of the RedStarReviews Favorite Book Of The Year For 2021! There will be a link at the end of the shownotes to said book so read no further if you want to avoid spoilers here! After that there is some discussion on the SPSFC that I am reading for. Followed by revealing what has caused me to return to YouTube of all places to share content! Closed out with thankfulness for you, and how much I appreciate you being a part of my life. Here are the links to my favorite book of the year: https://www.amazon.com/Zenith-Interscission-Project-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00IXUF11C/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=TZJV835626WV&keywords=zenith+the+interscission&qid=1647918199&sprefix=zenith+the+interscission%2Caps%2C81&sr=8-1 I should add that at this time it is available for free as an Ebook so it’s a perfect time to give it a try!

A Conversation On Vintage SciFi Month With LittleRedReviewer

A Conversation On Vintage SciFi Month With LittleRedReviewer

For the fifth episode of season two we have something really special! The founder of Vintage SciFi Month joins for a conversation on one of the greatest months of reading ever! The end is a bit abrupt as my headset died on me so apologies for that, but this episode was so much fun to produce so we want to give it to you in its entirety! Also here are several resources for finding material to read for Vintage SciFi Month (which takes place every January). Here are the links to the resources talked about in the podcast:

Project Gutenberg
gutenberg.org/


Luminist Archives (everything)
www.luminist.org/archives/periodicals_index.htm

Luminist archives SF Magazines
www.luminist.org/archives/SF/

Librivox Audiobooks - free public domain

Big Book of Science Fiction
www.indiebound.org/book/9781101910092
The Weird Compendium
www.indiebound.org/book/9780765333629

This is the story LittleRedReviewer was talking about by the Bengali lady. It is Sultana's Dream by Rokheya Sakhawat Hossain, from The Big Book of Science Fiction. the story was published in 1908, and it was also recently reprinted at Strange Horizons
strangehorizons.com/fiction/sultanas-dream/


Open Road Media - lots of classic scifi avail in print and e-book
openroadmedia.com/category/science%20fiction

and we also hope people check out e-book options and curbside pick up their local library. even if you don't live near a library, or can't get to one, or it isn't open, there's a good chance no matter where someone lives, their county's library system has an ebook loan program.
