I’d like to boost the signal for Conglomeration. It’s a nice, small genre convention in Louisville, KY. It runs April 9-11. Giant dealer’s room. Fantastic room parties. Rather inexpensive for membership. Sure, the hotel they hold the event in is a dump, but that seems to be the norm for these type of things. I [...]

I’m not going to call my list the ‘best of the naughties’ because, really, unless you read hundreds of books a year, it’s just hubris to do so. I do feel confident calling these books outstanding and worthy of your attention. Naturally, this list is exclusive of Apex titles in the interest of being fair [...]
