<\/p> $\"\"$ <\/a>So says Bookgasm<\/a>. And note that they\u2019re not saying FF2 is the best sf anthology of \u201908, but the best book<\/span> \u2014 including novels, collections, anthos, everything. Wow. A stellar short list, compiled by Ryun Patterson. It feels like I blog every week about FF2, but the kudos for this book just keep coming. Congrats to Lou<\/a> and the authors, once again!\n

Gentle note \u2014 sf anthologies are notoriously poor sellers for any publishing house. I have no idea how well FF2 is selling, but if you haven\u2019t yet bought a copy, please consider doing so<\/a>. Personally, I\u2019m a fan of sf anthos, and if an excellent series like this is going to continue, then it\u2019s gotta sell. Rave reviews alone don\u2019t pay the bills. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
