OTOH, I didn't pick up this book since I picked it up on sale back in 2018. |

Senlin Ascends (The Books of Babel Book 1) by Josiah Bancroft is $3 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US.
I've been watching a series of YouTube reviews of this series and am very intrigued. Quote:

Senlin Ascends is the start of a fun series that has quite a few discussions on youtube (Sagas and Sass, The Library of Allenxandria and his friends' channels)
The following books in the series are stronger than the first, because they expand the cast of characters, so even if you aren't wowed, and think the protagonist is boring, keep on reading. |

It's an interesting one, Senlin Ascends. It rose up via the Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (SPFBO) constest, where it actually failed to make the final, narrowly losing out to the more traditional (and also good fun) The Path of Flames by Phil Tucker (which itself didn't win the overall contest). The original reviews by pornokitsch intrigued a lot of people, including Mark Lawrence who hosts the competition, and who ended up championing the book and helping it get a trad publication.
Anyway, I liked it, and am willing to add my personal recommendation, even though I fell off the series when it went tradpub and haven't read the third and fourth books yet. I think Bancroft also writes poetry, and it shows in the careful use of language. |

There's currently a Star Trek sale in the UK. Over fifty titles down to 99p in addition to the regular monthly price reductions.
Amazon | Kobo | Simon & Schuster UK I've put the the whole lot in spoiler tags for anyone who wants an easily digestible list instead of the random order they appear in at Amazon and Kobo. Spoiler:
Indistinguishable from Magic, Terok Nor: Day of the Vipers, Strange New Worlds IV and the Day of Honor Omnibus have never previously turned up in the monthly UK sales. |

The Collected RinthCon 2323 showed up on eReaderIQ for me because one of the contributing authors also writes mysteries, and is in my list of authors to watch. It looks kind of fun, and it's also free right now, so here's the info...
