Mondiale – world’s best SF reading, 2023
Ian Mond’s best books of genre not packaged as genre
Face to face meeting, simulcast in Zoom
A great pleasure of the Nova Mob is Ian’s annual talk on the year’s best books, selected from those that aren’t marketed as genre SF but instead typically have the words “A Novel” somewhere on the cover for the discerning book shop browser to be certain as to what it is they are buying.
Ian again has selected 10 books for your reading delight. Hear about them, and why #10 is good and his #1 pick is better, at our meeting on 1 November.
As usual with Nova Mob talks there’s lively discussion, so attendance in person is recommended. The Zoom option as always is available.
Many thanks to Julian and Lucy who will be chairing November’s Nova Mob meeting.
Kensington Town Hall, 8.00pm, Wednesday 1 November, address below.
