Daily Thoughts 12/27/2014


I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.  Last night, I spent some time looking through Locus Magazine online and Science Fiction Site.  I enjoy reading science fiction sometimes.




I checked the Romantic Times website and am looking forward to when the book, Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear comes out.  It is a steampunk western.  There are not that many western style fiction books anymore.  The only writer of westerns who gets books in paperback on the bestseller lists is William W. Johnstone.


I took a few minutes to look through the Mahogany Books website.  It usually has some interesting African American titles.
