In Denmark, helmets have always been a good idea.
Many people I know deeply love the original Jurassic Park film. So does The Mary Sue, which celebrates the film’s birthday, calling it the perfect movie.
At Tor.com, L.T. Lukens reminds us of five books that sail the oceans to reap adventure.
Also from Tor.com, Jo Walton’s Reading List column does double-duty because she missed a month. Even before you get to the books, this column is wonderful!

Beowulf: A New Translation by Maria Dahvana Headley
A couple of years ago I read Maria Dahvana Headley’s The Mere Wife (2018) which was a finalist for the Locus Award in 2019. Set in a wealthy suburb, the story was a promoted as a “modern retelling of Beowulf” and told from the perspectives of the mothers. I admired this novel and was therefore eager to read Headley’s new translation of Beowulf which also happens to be a Locus Award finalist in the Horror category this year.

Deathless Divide by Justina Ireland
Deathless Divide (2020) is the sequel to Justina Ireland’s 2018 novel Dread Nation, the fresh take on zombies I reviewed previously. Much like its predecessor, Deathless Divide maintains a break-neck pace and an engaging cast of characters from beginning to end.
I enjoyed Deathless Divide just as much as I did Dread Nation.
