Next up: Asimov's SF, June 2014 which just came out a day or two ago.
And was a bit below par for me. There was a steampunk that really didn't appeal, and nothing that stood out.

Next was Analog SF, June 2014, which was a good issue.

And now I'm going to read No Going Back by Mark L. Van Name, the latest in his "Jon and Lobo" series. I missed getting this in a Baen bundle when it came out, in 2012, and it hasn't been in a bundle since. Luckily, many Baen books are now available through Kobo in ePub format, DRM-free and couponable. I picked this one up for just $2.79 thanks to a 75% off Kobo competition coupon - about the same discount as for an entire monthly bundle of new books. I may be buying fewer Baen bundles in future if the Kobo discount codes keep coming.
