Book Journal: Books 15-17
Book 15 was an audiobook, Beguilement by Lois McMaster Bujold. The audiobooks available to download to my phone via our library system are few and far between, especially when it comes to Sci-fi, but I decided to give this one a try. I found the characters fascinating but there's not much story there - I suspect it will ramp up in the next couple ( Read more... ) -
BOOK PROJECT: Books 8-14
9. Queen of Sorcery, David Eddings
I continued this series - I actually found the 2nd book much better than the first, and was very excited to get through it.
10. Dead Beat, Jim Butcher
I think this one is my favorite so far, and if you haven't picked up this series and you at all enjoy urban fantasy, check it out.
11. Magician's Gambit, David ( Read more... ) -
BOOK PROJECT: BOOKS 6 AND 7
(I'm really behind on these for no real reason. I also have barely been reading for the last week, and I dunno what's up with that, either.)
Book #6 was Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey. It's a re-read. I decided this year since I hadn't read them in at least ten years, to read them again and see what I thought. I don't have much to say about ( Read more... ) -
My (Early) Valentine To You (Rare Public Post)
Last friday, at ConFusion, Catherynne M. Valente made a speech, comparing conventions to small towns, specifically the island off the coast of Maine she lives on. I can't find a direct link, but here's a link to her blog - as of this posting, it's the second post down. Linky-link.I missed the speech, but it spoke to me ( Read more... ) -
BOOK PROJECT: BOOKS 4 and 5
Book 4 was Katrina and the Frenchman, (1/4/10 - 1/8/10) by none other than marcy_italiano. We met Marcy in 2007 at ConFusion, striking up a conversation with her and her husband in the consuite. It was Insta-Friendship, just add a Convention ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I haven't made a Book Project post in a while, not because I'm not reading (I'm looking at 8 books for the month of January) but because I was considering waiting and just posting a monthly update on the first of every month. But now I'm not so sure, and I miss posting when I finish a book. So, because people like polls, I want to know what you ( Read more... ) -

BOOK PROJECT: BOOK 2
The Walls of the Universe, Paul Melko. (1/5/10 - 1/6/10)
I'd start with some joke about my preference for members of the Ohio SF/F Cabal, but that notwithstanding, when I picked up my first Paul Melko book, Singularity's Ring last year, I had no idea he was a member.
So when I was at the library Tuesday night and I saw The Walls of the Universe, ( Read more... ) -

BOOK PROJECT: Books 55-56
Book #55 was Leviathan, a YA novel by Scott Westerfeld. It was my audiobook for October. Its a steampunk novel set at the start of WWI, and it was lovely from start to finish. (And the first book of a trilogy, so that makes me happy.)
Book #56 was Storm Front by Jim Butcher. Harry Dresden is a wizard who consults for the Chicago PD. How could ( Read more... )
