What if I post an update fore every book I read, right when I read it? WHAT THEN?
I have finished two books so far this year!
The Hum and The Shiver by Alex Bledsoe
Urban Rural Fantasy that turned out to be much more of a Magical Realism flavor and thus not my jam. A very nicely written book! Nice audio! It did not bring me joy.
(Bronwyn Hyatt one of the Tufa of Cloud County Tennessee comes home from Iraq a CNN darling and War Hero, there's a Haint waiting to talk to her, and her mother's been seeing death omens.
Tam Lin by Pamela Dean
JOY. SO COOL. SO GREAT. Twitter was very pleased with my choice to read this and within one page, SO WAS I.
It's the early 1970s and Janet is starting her freshman year at the minnesotan liberal arts college her parents work at. She can quote HELLA shakespeare and Keats and makes friends. Classics majors are WEIRD. Somethings going on with them. It is a retelling of TAM LIN (obvs? ovbs.) set in near-modern america! It's BLISSFUL. It is a lovely lovely tale of attending college. And also thwarting a fairy queen.
I am currently reading The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Vol. 2 - Squirrel You Know It's True written by Ryan North. It is very Squirrel Girl-y.
