Thanks for the tip on the online training - I am intending to check it out!

[rachelmanija]

Yes, actually.

I haven't read any of your new books, so I cannot taunt you with discussion of them, alas. I might be able to taunt you by mentioning that I am reading N. K. Jemisin's new book.

Killer ninja priests! How is it?

[tool_of_satan]

It's good so far (I'm about halfway through). It has a much more... mortal scope than the Inheritance Trilogy - not even one god has shown up yet, although there's still time. There is a lot of focus on the killer ninja priests. And the second (and final) book comes out in a few weeks.

Wow, that sounds super good. Summer reading! Yay!!!

I've already told you that you need to read Code Name Verity so let me add to that that "Unstrange Minds" is also excellent. It's really interesting, both from the perspective of things that helped his daughter (French classes!) and the discussion of how autism is seen in other parts of the world (in South Korea, apparently, they're still blaming the mothers).

Haven't read them yet, but am looking forward to you reviewing Shadow Ops: Control Point, as I read the Kindle sample and while it intrigued me, it wasn't quite enough to tip me over into buying it yet.

I read Shadow Ops: Control Point a couple of months ago, and moderately enjoyed it. There's several female characters, but they keep to the stereotypical roles of villainess, love interest/healer and innocent teenager. I was interested how military fantasy has moved past the Vietnam era issues of Haldeman and Drake, into War on Terror issues.
