The second pass (with additions and corrections) for this Friday's crop of reviews of books, and magazines and more, that the contributors feel might warrant more attention than they've received or received of late (except for this which are warnings). A few contributors will probably be added over the course of the day, as they upload their reviews...if I've missed yours or someone else's, please let me know in comments. Thanks, everyone!

I have nothing for this week, Todd.
Thanks, Jerry.
Todd, I'm a little bit late since Typepad was down last night, but I do have a post for today:
http://inreferencetomurder.typepad.com/my_weblog/2017/05/ffb-miss-pink-at-the-edge-of-the-world.html
Thanks for collecting the links!
Todd, the link for mine takes me to James Reasoners blog post.
Thanks, Bonnie! Rick, sorry for the glitch!
Mine is posted too, Todd. Thanks for taking over till Patti gets back. :)
Never mind! :)
Thank you, Yvette!
Thanks to you, Todd, for putting this together. Forgotten Books is one of my highlights of each week for me.
Thank you, Tracy.
Would somebody please explain to me what the two Galactic Journey posts, one by John Boston and one by Gideon Marcus, are? I am guessing that these (including the comments) were actually written back in the 1960's, probably from fanzines. Am I correct?
The conceit of the Galactic Journey blog is that it is being created 55 years ago, that the blog and its writers are in 1962. Everything written in the blog is pretty much new, but is pretending to be new then. Hello Yesterday's Today.
Thanks for replying. I never heard of Galactic Journey before
Not so very old, however time-displaced.
Up for a fanzine/blog Hugo or so, I believe.
Thanks again for substituting for Patti Abbott. We all appreciate it!
Thank you, George.
Thanks, Todd. I was away for the weekend.
