I didn’t make it through my entire Summer Reading List, though I did better than I thought I would and even ended up reading a few things (albeit mostly comics) that weren’t on there. There’s not as much coming out over the next few months that I’m excited about, but I figure that just means more time to read some of what I missed this summer. Here’s what I have on my list:

Tor.com Novellas
I always read all of these when they come out, and I cannot recommend them enough. I love that they’re such a variety of stories, which helps me to read outside my normal genres and preferences pretty regularly (it’s good to try new things!), and the $2.99 price tag means I can buy one almost every week without breaking the bank. The only one slated to come out this fall that I may skip is Andy Remic’s The Iron Beast. I’ve read the first two books in that series and haven’t enjoyed either of them, so I think I could spend my time better elsewhere.

• Cold-Forged Flame by Marie Brennan – September 13
• The Warren by Brian Evenson – September 20
• Impersonations by Walter Jon Williams – October 4
• Hammers on Bone by Cassandra Khaw – October 11
• Everything Belongs to the Future by Laurie Penny – October 18
• A Taste of Honey by Kai Ashante Wilson – October 25
• The Lost Child of Lychford by Paul Cornell – November 1
• The Burning Light by Bradley P. Beaulieu and Rob Ziegler – November 1
• The Iron Beast by Andy Remic – November 8, if you’re interested.

Magazines
I backed the Kickstarter earlier this year for Lightspeed‘s POC Destroy SF project, and POC Destroy Horror and POC Destroy Fantasy will be coming out in October and December, respectively. I also backed Uncanny Magazine‘s Year Three, and I’m looking forward to that in addition to a couple of issues I haven’t gotten around to yet from Year Two. I also bought a subscription to Fantasy & Science Fiction because it’s been on sale for $5, so I will surely be reading some issues of that as well.
