2011 April Reading List

Dead Man's Footsteps by Peter James – The main problem with this series is that after a couple of books read everything starts to mingle in your memory. I already don’t remember what it was about. 3/5 stars

The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons – I remember how furious I was when I finished reading Hyperion. Let’s just say I liked Hyperion better. 3/5 stars

Wake by Robert J. Sawyer – Interesting, but it felt a bit cold as perspective. 3/5 stars

The Voice of the Violin by Andrea Camilleri - :) The same comment from January applies. 4/5 stars

Galileo Awards 2011

No CititorSF awards this year, but we get Galileo Awards instead. This is a brand new type of awards organized by the editors of Galileo Magazine. It has two categories: novel/story collection, and short stories published in magazines with ISSN (in print, electronic or on-line format).

The lists will be finalized at the end of next week. So far there are 11 novels and 72 short stories. This is going to be a tough one. The only voters are the subscribers of Galileo Magazine, which is meant to provide a fair voting, though it makes me wonder how many subscribers the magazine has.

It looks like three of my stories from 2010 are eligible: An Elevator Apart, Bullets and Blood Symphony, In Lack of Time.
