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 )

9. Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao -- so we kicked off this miniature book club at work, CM-my-buddy, MB-of-the-ferrets, and me, and this was the first (and so far only) book we read for it. CM suggested it, along with a couple of others, and I pounced, because my friend R had brought it up (for the Tolkien allusions) when we met ( Read more... )

43. Moving Targets and Other Tales of Valdemar (ed. by Mercedes Lackey) -- what this book is, actually, is published and author-blessed fanfic for Valdemar. Weirdly, A Companion to Wolves left me wanting to (re)read some Valdemar stories, and I came across this book in the library and gave it a shot. It's... not very good, but some of the stories ( Read more... )

59. T.A.Pratt, Poison Sleep -- book 2 of the Marla Mason chronicles, that I picked up on a whim (and without reading book 1). If it were better written, it might have been exactly what I've been looking for. As it is, it's not a bad series to tide me over between The Dresden Files books. ( More, WAY SPOILERY )
