Books from 2013

[beniowa79]

It was a much better year than last year.  At the end of 2012 I was rather disappointed, but I avoided that this year, partially by getting some more variety I think.  I'll follow Isis' example and bold the outstanding reads and italicize the boring.  I kept track of my short story reading for the first time, but it ended up being a bigger list

I am waiting for Ace of Skulls to be available over here. I discovered Chris Wooding in the last two months and am in the process of getting all of the Ketty Jay books.

Awesome! Always happy to see a new Wooding fan. I hear the last two books should be coming out soon so hopefully you shouldn't have long to wait.

I really need to pick up the Chris Wooding series again. I only read the first two...

[beniowa79]

Only the first two? For shame! :-P

What a great list!

Is The Handmaid's Tale one I should read, or will it just depress me?

[beniowa79]

Yes, it's pretty depressing, but it ends on a slightly hopeful note. You might enjoy it, but it probably wouldn't be a top-read for you.

So, what would happen if the Earth had 2 moons? In a nutshell? Very weird tides, I'd guess?

[beniowa79]

Basically, yeah. At least much stronger than what we have with just the moon, and the consequences from that. Also increased night illumination. The book also says that the two moons would eventually collide and merge, though that may depend more on how Earth got both moons in the first place.

It would look pretty awesome though, I bet. If you live well inland.
