Hey! Today I learned about Weightless Books and I am pretty excited. They sell drm-free ebooks for good prices and are partnered up with a bunch of cool small presses and have a decent scifi and fantasy selections. The website is delightfully not-bloated and feels like something wonderful from 2005. I just pre-ordered the last book in Laurie Marks's wonderful Elemental Logic series https://weightlessbooks.com/format/air-logic/
@susannah I love Weightless Books! I got into buying books there from Small Beer Press, the publisher that they also own that puts out some good stuff.
@jernone Yes! I just found out yesterday Small Beer Press publishes Elemental Logic, which I <3. I was going to go through some of their catalog and see what other gems they've got - any recommendations?
@susannah I love short stories, so in that category on Small Beer, Maureen McHugh is one of my favorite writers, and I also really like Kelly Link's stories. Alan DeNiro's Skinny Dipping in the Lake of the Dead was good too. And I got into Small Beer through their journal Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet.
On the novel front, I liked Sean Stewart's Mockingbird and am working my way through Sofia Samatar's A Stranger in Olondria. http://smallbeerpress.com/books-by-author/
I haven't read Elemental Logic. Thanks!
@jernone Stranger in Olondria has been on my to-read list forever. I might just have to bump it up. And McHugh's After the Apocalypse looks *fantastic*.
Thanks for the recs!
