It's @swordandlaser 15th anniversary! And we celebrated by making puns, discussing our favorite wearable fantasy and sci-fi weapons, and finding rumors about our hometowns. We also check in on our read of The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri. swordandlaser.com/home/2022/…
Huge congrats to @ArkadyMartine for her incredibly well-deserved Best Novel win for A Desolation Called Peace! #HugoAwards

HUNT THE STARS, Jessie Mihalik. @Swordandlaser picked a great summer read! It's a fast moving romp using many great tropes: telepathic cats and psionics, rival space empires betraying their own people, found family space crew, and love among the stars. goodreads.com/book/show/5793…
#440 - Mr. Darcy in Space
We have Locus winners and Veronica read so many of them! Plus, what makes some books seem like a retread while others more of a remix? And our first thoughts on Hunt the Stars by Jessie Mihalik.

It's award season! We have Nebulas, we have Mythopoeics, we have Nommos. We also have some nice reviews of the show, and we wrap up our thoughts on Machinehood by S.B. Divya. It made us think!

Wow, what great company! Thanks for including us in this list, and for giving us a listen :)
Book podcasts don't get enough love. So I wrote about five I really, really like.

We lost an amazing @swordandlaser community member, podcaster, lover of books, librarian, and one of the fastest and savviest readers I've ever known, Jenny @readingenvy Colvin. We'll miss you. Thank you.

Ooooof.... @RiversidedotFM lost half of @acedtect's recording tonight (both audio AND video)! Fortunately, we ran a backup locally. Sadly the YouTube video is unsalvageable. @Veronica just talks to herself for 20 minutes. 😅
#432 - Does the Crow Rooster?
We have thoughts about why a rooster crows. Plus all the Nebula news and more awards. And we dig into our non-spoilery thoughts on Pandora’s Star.
