Reading roundup

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 )

Reading roundup

So, it's been awhile since I've done a reading roundup, apparently...

40. Brenna Yovanoff, The Replacement -- an interesting and unusual take on the "urban fantasy with fairies" genre I really enjoy. This one's even darker than the Tithe and Wicked Lovely universes, although it does get a sort of happy ending after the darkness. ( MAJOR SPOILERS )

1. Jonathan Kellerman, Bones (Alex Delaware) -- this is actually one of the better Alex Delaware novels among recent ones, both my mother and I thought. ( Non-spoilery )

Reading roundup and some reading-related memes

I've been going through books more quickly lately. Short books, true, but I'm still reading more quickly, in the last several weeks, than I had in the previous month or so, actually going back to when I finished Storm of Swords, I think. And it's not even that the books are necessarily more engrossing than their predecessors, although that does ( Read more... )

Been to Oregon, seen snow, came back home.

And now, to wrap up 2006 reading and kick off 2007:

41. Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Dart
1. Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Chosen -- I started reading these books because, in the course of ASOIAF discussion, adelynne mentioned Jacqueline Carey, and I had no idea who that was, so I looked her up on Wikipedia, and ( Read more... )
