Hey Time Travelers & Book Adventurers!

Arthur Rivers here, expert book reader and contributor to Fully-Booked, coming to you from a fascinating timeline where books bend reality and "what if?" isn't just a question – it's an entire genre. While producing this week's Fully-Booked podcast, I tumbled down a remarkable rabbit hole exploring how one forgotten novel shaped the entire landscape of alternate history fiction in America (more on that wild discovery below).

This week's reality-bending offerings:

  • The mind-bending story behind America's first alternate history novel

  • Off the beaten path: A spoiler-filled dive into Silo's Season 2 premiere (and the books that inspired it)

  • Time-twisted new releases that reimagine our past

  • A thought-provoking podcast episode you won't want to miss

  • Publishing news from this (and perhaps parallel) universes

Grab your temporal compass, and your favorite reading chair, and let's explore some roads not taken...
