I found myself in a vintage SF mood last night, so I plucked STAR BORN out of my Kobo library. (By the way, my Finish My Ereader project‘s at 98%! Victory is in sight!) It hasn‘t blown me away so far, but it reads up quick and I ain‘t in a place where I NEED to be blown away, so all is well. I shall read a bit more in this park so I‘ve got a picnic shelter to retreat to if those clouds turn into rain.
Your story deserves to be read, not hidden in a dusty corner of the internet.
If you‘re an author ready to reach more readers and shine, let‘s make it happen together!

It's Ren Faire season here so I'm listening to my bard pregame playlist constantly. I'm working the faire for the next 5ish weeks so my posts will be pretty sporadic. 🎶 🎵

pick(1957) In Norton's 1954 book, “The Stars Are Ours,“ scientists escape an antiscience populist government (ahem) to establish a colony on the distant planet Astra. This follow-up takes place about a hundred years later, when the colony is well established and a threat from Astra's distant past reemerges -- at the same time explorers from a very different Terra arrive. It's a good adventure, and also a light riff on themes of cultural evolution
Walt is staying cool.
(1969) This is Norton's follow-up to February's #classicLSFBC pick, “The Zero Stone.“ I've mentioned that I quite like TZS; I like Uncharted Stars only a little less. The resolution seems too abrupt: at least one more chapter, better yet at least one more book, is needed for closure, and I strongly suspect that Norton had ideas for the latter and just never got around to writing it. But the fact that I wish there was another entry is review enough
bailedSadly, my first DNF for 2025 is also #ClassicLSFBC selection for February. I tried to get into it, but it just wasn't for me. I've read and enjoyed several of Andre Norton's novels & short stories, but this one I'll have to bail on.
A couple of questions for any who have finished this month‘s #ClassicLSFBC pick.
If anyone would like to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know.
🐈⬛ Eet had more personality than the humans (“just so”) in the book. What did you think of Eet as a character and his relationship with Murdoc?

🐈⬛ This was full-on adventure SciFi with little to no underlying meaning or hidden agenda. I could totally see it published in a pulp serial of the past. Did you enjoy the plot?
