The author of Children of Time (one of the best #scifi books in the last 10 years in my opinion) Adrian Tchaikovsky, just released a new sci-fi book called Firewalkers: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B084TBJ4HB/

One of my favourite books (Pandora's Star by Peter F Hamilton) - the first book in the Commonwealth Saga is on sale on Amazon for 99p (kindle). Read it - I'd love to talk about it!

Finally got around to updating the #bookgroup wiki with the books we read in July and August - https://www.armchairscientist.co.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=bookgroup
@Gregor - I was wondering why there were no posts for July, just slipped my mind.
Hey everyone! It was a great night last night at the #redditmeetup and good to meet you all! Introduce yourselves and try some of these hashtags to find other events coming up soon. #geeksocial #skeptics #coding #livecomedy #bookgroup
Updated the list of what we read last night at the #Bookgroup
https://www.armchairscientist.co.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=bookgroup_2019-06-04
I was interested in reading The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner - "Considered by turns part-gothic novel, part-psychological mystery, part-metafiction, part-satire, part-case study of totalitarian thought".
#Bookgroup this evening - Topic is Devils and Demons - I've found a way to reference #PeterFHamilton again :D
We're meeting in #TheRaven for a change (last venue was too noisy)

@Feri I've pre-ordered Children of Ruin, won't get it on my Kindle until 16 May though. I hope it's got a demon in it so I can blag it for this month's #bookgroup 😋

@Feri Cool, now if I say something like our next meeting is 6pm 7th May 2019 in The Society Rooms (https://www.meetup.com/Glasgow-Sci-Fi-Fantasy-and-Horror-Book-Group/) they anybody else who follows that tag will see all these previous notes #bookgroup
@Feri Welcome! Have a look at some of the hashtags like #bookgroup (nothing there yet) but the default interface allows you to set up new columns (filters etc) pretty cool
