Weightless Books

Michael and I are working on a feature we’re looking forward to launching before the end of the year: the Weekly Weightless One Day Sale. Every Thursday we’ll have one book on super sale: at least 50% off. Add your name to the sale email list here.

It’s a busy time here at Weightless, although I like to think the website is going along nice and smoothly from your side. Well, apart from the huge mistake I made last week when I emailed thousands of readers I shouldn’t have. Thanks everyone for being so understanding. Suffice to say I will not be sending out any more emails without running it by Michael first.

We just added Karen Heuler’s collection The Inner City, which, along with Yoon Ha Lee’s The Conservation of Shadows was selected as one of Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of the Year. Two short story collections in the top 5 sf&f books? Alright!

Another book that’s proving very popular is Peter Watts new collection Beyond the Rift from Tachyon. I don’t know if this is Peter’s first collection (ok, I could check that), but it is flying off the virtual shelf. (Note to self: Need new metaphors.)

Not to be missed: Mary Anne Mohanraj’s The Stars Change. Mary Anne did a Kickstarter for the book a couple of years ago and it is great to see it coming out in all formats.

Also, a personal fave, Maureen F. McHugh’s “Special Economics,” is reprinted in the new issue of Clarkesworld. Hey, reviews of fave (or, er, unfave, I suppose) books are always welcome!

And that’s it for this afternoon. Enjoy your weekend!
