Had such a blast compiling this SFF look-ahead to 2024, but also it was so difficult not to include twice as many books. Thankfully I get to keep on with the monthly Lit Hub lists, so get ready for me to shout about so much more SFF this year.

behold, my favorite opening line of any review I've written this year

[Reactor Magazine @reactormag]

"While you were partying, Freya Marske studied the blade… the blade being fantasy romance, but also in fact dueling."

@nataliezutter reviews Swordcrossed, Freya Marske's new story about swords, weddings, and sword weddings!

The work that Western North Carolina journalists are putting out without access to, you know, the Internet is remarkable.

[Natalie Zutter @nataliezutter]

I was shrieking out loud in the theater—gory fun, but also be warned, #TheSubstance is not for the faint of heart.

[Reactor Magazine @reactormag]

@nataliezutter calls The Substance "devastatingly funny—or comically devastating."

It's hard to escape the reactions, fascinated or disgusted, to Demi Moore's new satirical horror. But you can check out our review here!

If you don’t want to do the writing part of being a writer, no one is forcing you to do it. It’s totally okay for you to not pursue this. I think society will manage without that movie, show or book of yours. Unlike what some of you think, writing is work. AI is not writing.

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

Single best description of AI I’ve ever read, from the great Ted Chiang.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

When my wife and I decided to have children, we spent years going through fertility treatments.

I remember praying each night for a call with good news, or the agony when we heard the treatments hadn't worked.

When we welcomed our daughter into the world, we named her Hope.

[Charlotte Alter @CharlotteAlter]

Walz’s personal experience with IVF is also HUGE asset, especially since Dobbs put IVF on the chopping block.

Having a *man* talk compellingly about his personal experience with reproductive freedom from a place of joy, not sadness, will be big

[Paste Magazine @PasteMagazine]

Casey McQuiston’s #ThePairing is a sumptuous summer romance will give you all the feels. @nataliezutter reviews: https://t.co/VCCLZjdbI6

@avramargariti Thank you for this! Just got my fifth rejection for a story I care about and believe in, that's gotten a few holds but not quiiite made it past that phase. This is encouraging me to keep moving through the list of mags to submit to instead of trunking...
