“Hench” was a really fun book. My Henchman leant it to me; I’m trying not to make any deeper meaning from this.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

I really enjoyed Hench as well. It's the book I will recommend when people want book recommendations.

I’ve started looking for endorsements by Seanen McG. That book and 1 or 2 others that I’ve liked have had her written approval on the covers.
“16 Ways to Defend a Walled City” was very enjoyable. Recommended.

16 Ways is on the list. Plus, there is a sequel. Unfortunately it's not at my library.

Machine by Elizabeth Bear
Meh. It seemed like a slog. There was just too much discussion about the world being built without too much of an actual story.

"Six Wakes" by Mur Lafferty.
Good read. Memento-esq, cloned crew piloting a colony-ship with everyone but the crew in cryo-sleep. If a crew member is killed, they just warm up a clone and download the memories. Our crew members wake up to find the previous crew freshly killed and their memories of recent events wiped clean...

I think I read Six Wakes.... or maybe I've just heard of it.

Maybe your clone read it, but since your memory got wiped during the last upload, you don’t remember.

Spotting Danger Before It Spots Your Kids by Gary Quesenberry (upcoming YMAA pub). The second in his 'heads up' series. Hoping to promote the crap out of this title. It's got a lot of general appeal.
I read the ARC. It just occurred to me that I digest a lot of unfinished content - ARCs and screeners.

As a matter of fact, I did plow through 3 of Mick Herron's books this weekend. Now, it's back to Paddy Chayefsky who I put on hold while I read the Mick Herron books. If you don't know Paddy is a screenwriter who wrote Network, Altered States, and Marty among other things.

That new Ben Aaronovitch was kinda disappointing. I thought he was s’posed to wrap up the series. I guess he’s got bills to pay.

I kind of enjoyed the most recent Aaronovitch more so than his most recent offerings. I thought the story was more concise.

Are any of your on GoodReads? I've had to engage it for some YMAA work. I kinda like it.
