A couple of writer friends of mine are getting some well-deserved recognition this week as the summer reading top ten lists appear.
Kirkus Reviews, 10 Must-Read Fiction Books for Spring: Toni Morrison, John Irving, Paul Theroux, Elizabeth Bear… Oh wait, Bear is first.
eSchool News, 10 books for high school summer reading: Charlotte Brontë, Alice Walker, Daryl Gregory.
I’ve been pushing Range of Ghosts for a while, and now that I’ve finally finished Raising Stony Mayhall I can recommend that to you all. You could do much, much worse than listen to the experts and pick up both of these books.
Not only does it make me no end of happy to see both of them getting such recognition, it’s just as exciting to see spec fic playing with the supposed mainstream on both lists.
