Friday's "Forgotten" Books and More: the links to reviews and texts: 3/10 January 2020

This fortnight's books and more, unfairly (or sometimes fairly) neglected, or simply those the reviewers below think you might find of some interest (or, infrequently, you should be warned away from); certainly, most weeks we have a few not at all forgotten titles...if I've missed your review or someone else's, please let me know in comments. Hope to not skip any more weeks soon, as this is a huge file even for 14+ days; also hope not to lose so many people in such a short period again: M. C. Beaton/Marion Chesney, (I didn't know her personally, but had at least some correspondence  when not face to face interaction with) Mike Resnick, Earl Staggs, and Steve Stiles...and at least one old friend of the blog is facing some similarly tough health problems.

Todd – Thanks for compiling this big list. And hope you are over whatever ailment had you down.

Todd Mason said...

Thank you, Elgin...it still has my sleep schedule out of whack, but I think I'm otherwise OK...

TracyK said...

Many thanks for putting this all together, Todd. And I hope you are much better now.

Todd Mason said...

Thank you, Tracy! I am feeling up to some chores today (the rewards of adulthood).

Jack Seabrook said...

Thanks, Todd! Glad to hear you're on the mend.

Todd Mason said...

Thank you, Jack, on both counts.

Prashant C. Trikannad said...

Thanks, Todd! Appreciate the weekly effort. Can't be easy. I seemed to be scrolling down forever which in a way is a good thing for FFB.

Todd Mason said...

Thank you, Prashant! I only hope it doesn't get to be too much of a muchness for the casual reader...

Is FFB still alive? Did it move to another site? I miss it!

Todd Mason said...

Thanks, Bkln (Brooklyn?), for the concern and the benison! It's still alive, though it's been unconscionably delayed by a confluence of relatively minor distractions and misfortunes--some broken bones in my left hand as well as my coccyx being the worst physically, the idiocy of our political season being the most recent in terms of both d&m...a world in which Elizabeth Warren would be facing William Weld and Vermin Supreme (currently the nom polititique of a primary-winning Libertarian contender, rather than a designation of the current incumbent and too many of his peers worldwide) in the general election, for example, would be a less monstrous world...but while there are life and book reviewers, there is hope!
