Wednesday finds hair touching shoulders
What I read
Re-read of Kathleen Jowitt, Speak Its Name (2016), as good as I remembered.
Aya de Leon, The Accidental Mistress (Justice Hustlers #3) (2018), which I didn't like quite as much as the earlier books in this sequence - a couple of plot developments that were rather obvious from very early on, and the plot generally didn't seem quite as tight as the others, possibly to do with having the two sisters (and rather obvious contrasting trajectories?). Still good but not as.
Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Gods of Jade and Shadow (2019), which I thought had considerable strengths, but I wasn't quite as blown away by it as some reports had led me to expect.
On the go
Still making my way through Of Wars, and Memories, and Starlight.
Currently working on Temi Oh, Do You Dream of Terra-Two (2019) - I am really having a question about the psychological assessments, if any, made before picking the members of this mission... I mean, it's not like that set-up in some sf novel I read a v long time ago in which they were sending out teams of young people on potentially one-way missions to find habitable/exploitable planets, and it was just a matter of picking one each of the required specialisms, and it was all a random throw anyway, this is a single Big Enterprise with massive investment and consequences.
Up next
Well, my copy of Return of the Thief has turned up, after I had bopped off an email saying, 'ere 'ere, you sent me a message that it had been dispatched 3 weeks ago, what is this that this thing is? this very same morning. What're the odds, eh?
