    He seems to be in the clear from her nastier allegations, and outted as a cheater.




    This reminds me a bit of the Lynch/Bear/Alexandra Rowland thing a few years ago (though Rowland never recanted their accusation so it's still open for people to decide if they were telling the truth- I don't for a few reasons but some might differ) where it seemed to become fairly clear that Lynch definitely behaved badly but on a level that was really just between himself, his wife and Rowland and the rest was things twisted or made up. King hasn't come out of this looking good, but unless there's further wild twists he doesn't seem to have abused anyone.

    Jeez. I don't know to what degree this is a retraction but it sure seems like a pretty full one, and whether their apology to survivors is genuine or not, the damage is done. Doesn't really seem anything less than self-serving to me. I wouldn't accept this apology.


    The embedded link doesn't include the title so I had no idea who this is about at first and had to click on the video to find out---but as I guessed it's Naomi Klein who had accused the SFF Booktube guy.

    Link doesn't work for me can someone provide context please?



    The internet is chatting about a now-deleted Naomi King video admitting she made up the sexual assault, so I'm assuming it's that.

    I've got about a $5-er left of said birthday monies, so if anyone has any recommendations for something else to grab in or around $5, that would be loverly.




    Frances White's Voyage of the Damned was one of my favourite reads of last year and is on sale for what appears to be 3 dollars on Canadian Amazon (assuming we're talking ebook). Or Kobo if you don't read Amazon.


    Other books I think you might enjoy that are about that:


    The Mask of Mirrors by ML Brennan. A kind of Locke-Lamora-ish con story, though with a lot more focus on fashion lol. It's a little above 5 I think, but it's really good. I should get back to the sequel.


    Sailor to a Siren by Zoe Sumra: full disclosure that I know Zoe Sumra a little from another forum, so I'm partly recommending it coz she's sound, but also because it's great fun, a space fantasy gang crime adventure. It's the first of a duology but they're not expensive in ebook.


    Thunderer by Felix Gilman. Also slightly out of the 5 dollar range, but it's one of my favourite books of all time by an author I never thought got enough attention. Part of a duology which I really, really love.



    We can, of course, never be sure of a double stamp, but all those are books I think at least tend to the direction of your tastes.

  4. In Topic: The Cheap/Free Ebooks Thread!

    Frances White's Voyage of the Damned is currently cheap on Kobo, at least in the UK store (a quid). I'd recommend checking Amazon for those who read that way, was one of my favourite reads (and one of the breakout hits, I think) of last year.
