Books 2012 - 12
Jul. 29th, 2012 02:20 pmUncharted Territory - Connie Willis - okay. Sort of thin, compared to her other books.
Earthmen and Other Strangers - an old anthology. Nothing to make me want to keep it.
The Quiet Gentleman - Georgette Heyer - I do believe this will be one of my favorites by her.
The Stone War - Madeleine E. Robins - Interesting, and a good read.
Elemental Magic - anthology - well enough, but I gave it to a friend, instead of keeping it.
Great Science Fiction by Scientists - anthology - Well. All the scientists are men. As are all the characters. Some stories were decent, but I see no reason to keep it.
The Thief's Gamble -
The Swordsman's Oath -
The Gambler's Fortune -
The Warrior's Bond - all by Juliette McKenna - with a fifth book, which I've stalled in for a bit, really a single books spread across separate spines. Very good, with well rounded female and male characters. Much enjoyed. If I don't keep these, they're going to my nieces.
Ooku: The Inner Chambers, Vol. 7 - Fumi Yoshinaga - most excellent series. I am looking forward to reading all of them in sequence, once they are all out.
Stories from the Twilight Zone - Rod Serling - passes time. Not bad.
