Books 2009 - 10
Everyone Worth Knowing - Lauren Weisberger - not as good as The Devil Wears Prada. Ok enough; I borrowed from the library but will not buy.
The Game - Laurie King - Another Holmes & Russell. very good.
Lord John and the Private Matter - Diana Gabaldon - very good historical mystery. I'd run into the detective before, and enjoyed very much.
Lord John and the Hand of Devils - Diana Gabaldon - as previous.
The Apostate's Tale - Margaret Frazer - very good Sister Frevisse mystery. I enjoyed this one a lot.
A Play of Dux Mourad - Margaret Frazer - another good mystery in the Joliffe set.
Walk to the End of the World - Suzy McKee Charnas - breathtaking. Amazing. Feminist apocalyptic novel. Obviously written in the 1970s.
Motherlines - Suzy McKee Charnas - sequel to above. Very good. Definitely passes the Mo Movie Measure!
Brown Girl in the Ring - Nalo Hopkinson - not as amazing to me as The New Moon's Arms but that is a very high standard. This book is quite good on its own.
Alone of All Her Sex - Maria Warner - nonfiction tracing of all the threads of Mariolotry. Fascinating. How Mary was used/abused/molded/modified to the Catholic Church's purposes throughout the centuries. Solidified me in my apostacy.
Year's total: 38
