Tomislav See, my situation is that I've been reading SF (mostly but not exclusively science fiction) for about 50 years. I've already read most of the books on the club bookshelf, a few of them several times, and often many on the club's book of the month polls as well. So where can I look for leads on good science fiction, not already read?

I will mention right now one resource for new releases that I like - the Locus Recommended Reading list that comes out every February. http://locusmag.com/2018/02/2017-locu...

Rachel | 1405 comments Do you also use awards such as The Hugo nominees; Arthur C Clarke nominees, and other reviews sites like Kirkus reviews ?
All good places to look. Oh Philip k Dick awards maybe...

Tomislav Yup. I've been following the major awards and nominations. There is a very comprehensive English-language awards database at http://www.sfadb.com/

For German language, I follow the Kurd Lasswitz Preis, at http://www.kurd-lasswitz-preis.de/ind...

Kirkus reviews, though. I've not looked into that...

I spend a lot of time on bookriot.com and bestoffantasy.com.

I know you said "science fiction," but hear me out. They have a jillion subgenres on bestof and a lot of them sure look like scifi lists to me, like superhero or sword and planet.

Anna (vegfic) | 10435 comments I've mentioned him before, but for new releases coming out in scifi, fantasy and horror, definitely check out Thomas Wagner's Mailbag Mondays on YouTube: SFF180.

Anna (vegfic) | 10435 comments I think Allison meant http://bestfantasybooks.com/ and they also have a sister site that's all scifi: http://bestsciencefictionbooks.com/

Rachel | 1405 comments Oh I’ll have to note those - I haven’t checked those out before


message 8: by Tomislav (new)

Tomislav Thanks! I'm intrigued by SFF180, but I'm hitting pretty much 100% already read on the lists at bestsciencefictionbooks. Keeping the thread open for more suggestions...
