I meant to make this nonfiction anthology my in between book, but nearly every piece spoke to my soul and I finished it in a day. It's a thoughtful, diverse selection of what Tor.com has to offer, and since it's currently free you should absolutely nab it if you've any interest in SFF-focused literary criticism.

Special shout out to Brit Mandelo's 4-part essay on the Raven Cycle. It's one of the best things I've read this year, full stop.

xicanti Also of note: many of these essays are LONG, so this anthology is especially valuable if you're like me and you hate reading lengthy stuff on your computer or phone. 6y

Rocket Fuel: Some of the Best From Tor.com Non-Fiction | Bridget McGovern, Chris Lough

Gonna start my day with an essay or two from ROCKET FUEL, the Tor.com nonfiction collection.

It's been a stressful week and I don't know how much time I'll be able to spend on the #reversereadathon today, but I hope I can lose myself in a book or two. Anxiety's been kicking me hard these last few days and I've messed up so, so often, which of course makes it worse. Maybe it'll help if I fight some fictional characters' battles instead of my own.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I got Rocket Fuel too! Been enjoying it. I remember when this one was on the site. Also ā€How Do Centaurs Sleep?ā€¯ 6y
