Reading roundup

Nov 02, 2011 21:24

53. The Way of the Wizard, edited by John Joseph Adams -- pretty good collection. One of the things I was impressed by is the mix of famous and new-to-me names, the number of female authors in the anthology (just a little less than half), and the number of non-Caucasian names (still a distinct minority, but more than one normally sees). ( Individual stories with spoilers )

a: simon r. green, weetzie bat, kushiel, a: susanna clarke, a: marion zimmer bradley, a: libba bray, a: charlaine harris, leguin, a: orson scott card, a: lev grossman, a: cinda williams chima, a: ursula leguin, a: t.a.pratt, a: peter s. beagle, short stories, a: george r.r. martin, a: delia sherman, a: jacqueline carey, reading, a: francesca lia block, marla mason

Phedre totally was the one to make up the name in order to tweak Barquiel's nose, Y/N?

Ha ha ha I like this idea. Also, related macros:

This reminds me that I was gonna write fic of Barquiel swearing the oath, but I kinda forgot it. Oh well. Anyway I'm just about to post Chap 1 of the Phedre as Barquiel's protege AU we were talking about the other day.

He does. He really does! Hipster!Barquiel is endlessly amusing to me because it's so true! I can just see him going around in his Akkadian clothes & when someone asks him about them he's like "They're from Khebbel-im-Akkad. You've probably never heard of them."

Fic is here!

"They're from Khebbel-im-Akkad. You've probably never heard of them."
