the Hugo nominees Aeryn Send a noteboard - 07/06/2010 05:26:22 PM
We want to know what you -yeah, you- are reading this fine month. Brag of the books. Deign to tell us the titles. Shamefacedly admit what it is you're perusing. Chop-chop, gentle reader.


Summer is for fun and catching up on reading!! I'm very excited.

I just ordered the first three of the Magic Strikes books by Ilona Andrews, so I'll probably read those.

I also started Balance of Trade by Steven Miller & Sharon Lee, might read a few more of their Lianden Trade books.

Tanya Huff's The Fire Stone - started a few pages this morning before work, it seems good

Vera Nazarian's Mansfield Park and Mummies - I'd gotten about 100 pages in a month ago, but got distracted with exam procrastination, look forward to finishing it

Kay Kenyon's Bright of the Sky - I totally skimmed the last 1/3, but the book was awesome, I'm going to read it properly this month.

Karin Lowachee's Gaslight Dogs - her first new book in years, unique fantasy

Laura E. Reeve's Peacekeeper - new military scifi

I'm in the mood for pulp. For too long, I've been reading only moody meloncholy fantasy, now I'm craving military scifi, space opera, and epic fantasy.

Oh, I JUST remembered. I've resolved to read all the Hugo nominees, so that when I vote for Palimpsest by Catherynne Valente for Best Novel, I'll mean it.

Is it just me, or is it very odd that someone like Vera Nazarian would write that MP&M? Legolas - 08/06/2010 12:07:48 AM 874 Views
