Books 2012 - 14

The Secret History of the Pink Carnation - Lauren Willig - amusing fluff - sort of fits right with The Scarlet Pimpernel. May or may not read the series.

Sakuran: Blossom Wild - Moyoco Anno - manga. Not what I'd expected. I suppose I'd hoped for more depth, and a different ending.

Rimrunners - C.J. Cherryh - excellent SF, set in the Alliance-Union universe.

Red Threads - Rex Stout - decent mystery.

The Needlework of Mary Queen of Scots - Margaret Swain - Not enough pictures in color for me. Will not be keeping.

Kalpa Imperial - Angela Gorodischer; trans U. LeGuin - very odd sort of book. A series of shorter vingettes, sort of dreamy and story-telly.

The Last Warrior Queen - Mary Mackey - just ... not that good.

Lessons after Dark - Isabel Cooper - excellent romance.

Fever Season - ed. Cherryh - Merovingen nights series. Most good.

Healer - F. Paul Wilson - reminds me of Foundation, but a completely different story. Lent to Dad.

The Fair Folk - anthology - very good set of stories about the Gentry.

Dragonfield and Other Stories - Jane Yolen - nice set of short stories by one author.

Cold Days - Jim Butcher - the latest Harry Dresden. What can I say? What an ending!

Captain Vorpatril's Allianc - Lois McMaster Bujold - highly recommend the whole series. Excellent reading for Thanksgiving with the family.
