I gather my book recommendations from a variety of sources. The internet is a great place where one can find a whole bunch of people talking about their reading experiences. One can readily find almost everything - synopsis, summary, and reviews - about a book on the internet. There are times when I have received recommendations from my friends, my family, my peers, and sometimes even from strangers whom I have met in bookshops. Upon receiving these suggestions, there are times when I select a book after doing a considerable amount of research - reading the synopsis, reading about the author, and reading multiple reviews of the book. This drill is repeated several times especially when I am picking up an author whose work I have not read before. But then there are also occasions when I have picked books without doing any background research. And when I do that, I start reading the book without any expectations. Obviously, I do expect to enjoy the book, but other than that I try not to raise my hopes very much.

What creates an editorial phenomenon is the novelty of the subject. The same goes for Eco’s murderous monks, Meyer’s “vegetarian” vampires, Dan Brown’s sangreal lineage, or James’s sadomasochistic bondage. Everything that comes after is in the wake, it is an imitation of the original.
Patrizia PoliPublished 3 months ago in FuturismReview of Rosemary Claire Smith's 'Next Frontier' Novelette
This seems to be my year -- by which I mean all of 2021 and 2022 -- for alternate history. The second season of For All Mankind in February 2021, Ronald D. Moore's masterful alternate history about the race to the Moon in the 1960s, and ensuing decades, was even better than the first. My 90-minute interview with Rufus Sewell in July 2021 about The Man in the High Castle series on Apple TV+ got me even deeper into that one-of-a-kind stunning story. And just this month, a favorite story that I've written was published -- "It's Real Life," my alternate history about The Beatles.
