Hi all,

I thought we might me able to compile a list of some interesting SF related websites and blogs etc...

Here's a couple:

Tell me again, which one is the one where you buy most of your sfr ebooks?

I don't buy from any of these. They're blogs, author sites, and book recommnedation type sites. Most have an SF/R slant. I use the Sony store a lot because it's easy since I own a Sony, but I compare prices and find the small presses often have cheaper prices than Sony does.

I buy from:

booksonboard.com
fictionwise.com
www.allromanceebooks.com
http://www.omnilit.com/
www.samhainpublishing.com
www.diesel-ebooks.com
ebookstore.sony.com
smashwords.com
Amazon.com (and convert what I can via Calibre, or just read on the iPod.)

Or from the various ebook publishers directly. Or the Baen Free Library.

Many ebooks I have I got free, though, via Kindle freebies or from contests/giveaways. I enter a LOT of them. I've even won here on Goodreads. But I read a lot of books usually.

One thing I use the sites I listed in the other post for is to find new books or authors whose work I want to read. I often read an interview and visit the author's site. They have links to buy sites, sometimes to publishers that I wouldn't normally visit. I love to learn more about the genre too.

One tip to find new SFR books is to search on Amazon for the tag "SFR Brigade." All SFRB members are supposed to tag their own and other member SFR books with that tag. They have a *very* long list of authors now.

The following is apparently a brand new SFR story/book review site:

Thanks AnnaM! That one looks really good. I'm going to see if I can get a copy of for my nook.

You're welcome!

*blows dust off this thread* Here's a new site: http://www.sfrstation.com

SF Signal (http://www.sfsignal.com) and Amazing Stories (http://amazingstoriesmag.com) have both begun to include more SFR reviews and updates.

Great site!

Also, I have a list on my site from the research section of the MFA class on SFR I teach every few terms. If anyone has other suggestions for sites, books, or authors that I should include for next time, please let me know.

Heidi, if you ever want to talk about male POV SFR, my A'yen's Legacy (My Name Is A'yen, The King's Mistress, To Save A Life out 54) series is mostly the hero's POV, and Laurie A. Green's Inherit The Stars is 100% the hero's POV.

And here's the archive of my posts for USA Today, most of which are SFR-related (but not all):

Thanks Merry! (Waves back) I do my best to include as many authors as I can...thanks for the kind words :)

Was not aware that Google+ had groups. Although I barely spend any time there. Still an alien landscape for me.

Although I notice the same faces and names everywhere, including all the sites Merry mentioned.

The thing with Google+ (and not to hijack the thread) is that Google itself doesn't know what to do with it, or really even support it, so I do a very bare minimum of posting anything there. CNN reported it was beginning to be dismantled and others reported it with headlines like "sad failure" late this summer.

Not a huge surprise. I lost interest when I found out they wouldn't let me feed my blog RSS feed there.

I love the way you trot out "archive of my USA Today posts" like I would say "my blog posts". Very cool.

I followed the USA Today romance blog for a while, but SFR seemed to be pretty thin on the ground and I must be getting old or something -- I'm growing less and less interested in "normal" romance. :)
