    Hi Imagineering Group,

    As of this week, the listserv group is now shut down and we are over on Connect.  We'll be figuring out a way to get the newsletter sent out over here, do a recap of the CORE forum author panel, and get ready to talk at MidWinter.

    Until then, what are you reading  now that the temperatures are taking a dive?

    Talk soon,
    Athina

    Good morning, all! It's nice to be connected here with everyone.

    As for reading, well, I assume you're asking about SF&F, given the nature of our group - so leaving aside the history stuff I've been reading lately....I just finished Rebecca Kuang's last volume in her Poppy War trilogy, "The Burning God", which is wonderful (if more than a little brutal); I'm in the middle of Andrea Hairston's "Master of Poisons" right this second.

    Be well,
      Jeremy B.

    Hi Athina and everyone,

    I'm excited to be able to join the Imagineering group and connect with all of you!

    Since lockdowns/quarantines started, I haven't been able to read much other than graphic novels. Lately, I've been working my way through a backlog of Star Wars ones, and have finished the "main" title series and the Poe Dameron series, and am working on Doctor Aphra now. Some good stuff there!

    Best,
    Debbie
