[nesfa-reading-group] Next reads?

[David G. Grubbs]

I was looking at the lists of books we've read and realized that we haven't
had that online discussion about what to read for September.

We had a long list, but I think we should read Jade City by Fonda Lee.  It
won the World Fantasy award two years ago and was near the top for the
Nebula and the Locus awards.

It is described as "The Godfather with magic and kung fu".  I gotta read
it, so maybe we can all read it.

I took the list we discussed last week, added all the other suggestions we
haven't read from the previous two times we chose books and tossed the ones
we have read.  The rest fall into these categories:

I also wouldn't mind reading:

   - Lyons,Jenn                2017 The Ruin of Kings
   - Robinson,Kim Stanley  2018 Red Moon
   - Brown,Pierce              2014 Red Rising
   - Corey,James S. A.        2011 Leviathan Wakes
   - Gladstone,Max             2019 Empress of Forever


Wouldn't complain about, but not as interested:

   - Novik,Naomi                 2018 Spinning Silver
   - Gaiman+Pratchett         1990 Good Omens
   - Bear,Elizabeth              2019 Ancestral Night
   - Morgan,Richard K.        2018 Thin Air  (Though I'd want to read
   "Black Man" first.)
   - Faber,Michel                 2000 Under the Skin
   - Hand,Elizabeth             2019 Curious Toys
   - Ellison,Harlan              1975 Deathbird Stories
   - Matheson,Richard        2019 Other Kingdoms
   - Valente,Catherynne M.  2018 Space Opera
   - Watts,Peter               2018 The Freeze-Frame Revolution
   - Watts,Peter               1999 Starfish


I don't care about these. Maybe others do, but I would give them down votes:

   - Piserchia,Doris            1977 Earthchild
   - Ruff,Matt                   2016 Lovecraft Country
   - Griffith,Nicola             1993 Ammonite
   -

Of the ones we discussed, I have already read these and don't want to read
them again:

   - Doctorow,Cory                2017 Walkaway
   - Watts,Peter                    2006 Blindsight
   - Banks,Iain M.                1987 Consider Phlebas
   - Egan,Greg                     1992 Quarantine


Of the ones we discussed -- I will read these soon for the other book club:

   - Roanhorse,Rebecca        2018  Trail of Lightning
   - Bujold,Lois McMaster       2001  The Curse of Chalion
   - Okorafor,Nnedi               2015  Binti
   - Wells,Martha                 2017  All Systems Red
