For the second year in a row, I'll be spending the last month of the year (give or take a day) catching up on bookposts. I’ve gotten waaaaaay behind on those, let alone any sort of posting to LJ. Blame it on too much business travel and (as mentioned last post) all the time and energy spent chasing a toddler around the house. Clearly the middle of Hugo Award reading, with the eventual Best Novel (Jemisin) and Campbell (Weir) winners, both of which I enjoyed, and another nominee (Novik). With a break to enjoy another entry in the
{_____} Destroy {_____} series. Plus a trip through Victorian London (and computing history) courtesy of Sydney Padua's amusing webcomic.
