Staffer’s Book Review is a blog maintained by Justin Landon. It began in spring of 2011 with a review of James S.A. Corey’s Leviathan Wakes. Initially inspired to jot down thoughts to help further his own writing, Justin soon became enamored with the review process itself. Since then he’s written hundreds of reviews, cementing a deep love for genre fiction, but also a deep fascination with the publishing industry.

Today, Staffer’s Book Review is as much a commentary about the state of science fiction and fantasy as it is a place of review. Interviews, short essays, and industry insider pieces are common.

Justin may or may not have paid for the following:

Landon’s blog is new to the scene, but in the nine months he’s been around, he’s become one of my favourite voices in the community.

I’ve run into Justin at a couple of conventions this year, and am convinced he is brilliant, as well as a great guy. His review site, Staffer’s Musings, has some of the best written reviews out there.

I’m actually a small guy. Justin, on the other hand, is a giant. The man ought to have his geek license pulled.
