… But this challenge is a fun one, because it involves reading! That’s right. As if my recent headlong dive into my TBR for The Great Series Read Project wasn’t enough, I’ve gone and gotten tempted into taking up another bookish challenge aimed at whittling down my stacks of unread books…
It’s time for a new mission here at Dear Geek Place – and this one’s a doozy, but it’s also definitely a long-term goal. And it should help me clear a big chunk of my bookish backlog! Sounds awesome, right? Welcome to the Great Series Read.
So I’m starting to see a grisly theme with these episodes? In this episode, Miyako and Emma are on the hunt for whoever has attacked and mutilated a secure courier, presumably for the data sleeve they were carrying. Though of course, the case is not nearly so simple. And when she’s not on the clock, Emma is getting flirty with Kensuke, one of Miyako’s fellow detectives – and her ex. Oh, boy. Let’s discuss Ninth Step Station.
New year, new serial review! First up for the weekly review feature (#serialgeekery) is Ninth Step Station, created for Serial Box Publishing by Malka Older.

It sounded all kinds of interesting as soon as I heard about it, and I am very excited to finally be diving in. So! Let’s begin discussing Ninth Step Station!
Wyrd and Wonder has wound down, I’ve enjoyed a few days of decompressing, and I’ve begun to gather my wits (and my reading lists) for the next round.

Let’s talk about 20 Books of Summer.
In this episode, Asala and Niko are heading for Hypatia as they follow the trail of the eponymous missing ship – but they’ve got an unexpected third party aboard their cruiser. Cue much awkwardness, and some very tense situations. Let’s discuss The Vela. Spoilers follow for this episode.
Hooray hooray, it’s a new serial day! The Vela is one of the latest new releases from Serial Box Publishing and has been on my 2019 watch list for a while, because the lineup of writers associated with it knocked my geeky socks off: SL Huang, Becky Chambers, Rivers Solomon and Yoon Ha Lee. I mean. It’s like rock star levels of writer collaboration, if you’re a modern sci-fi nerd. And I love me some modern sci-fi. So let’s dive …
NERDS! IN! SPAAAAACE! Normally I like to bury myself in fantasy over the winter season, but this January I’m making an exception for an exceptional book, with a little help from a fellow Sci-Fi Month Fleet member and all round joyful nerd, Jorie. Keep reading for more info!
I have been conspiring of late with my Wyrd & Wonder co-hosts, and we have an awesome thing in the works. Intrigued? Then read on.
