At last week’s Armadillocon, I sadly missed a panel I really wanted to see: “What You Should Have Read in 2011-2012”. I saw last year’s version and it offered an excellent list of suggested reads. This year’s panel consisted of Jeremy Lassen, Bill Parker, Willie Siros, Michelle Muenzler and Bev Hale.

Although I missed it, convention guest A.T. Campbell did see it. Even better: he took notes.

Following is the list of books that A.T. noted as being mentioned by the panelists.
