February novel-reading

[garran]

As usual, I'm willing to report at more length on my experience of any of these if asked. (Last month was the first month where nobody asked at all, so I thought it might be that I ought to go back to mentioning this part of it explicitly every month after all.)

Emma Bull, Finder
R. A. MacAvoy, Tea with the Black Dragon
John M. Ford, Web of Angels
Scott Westerfeld, Uglies
Lois McMaster Bujold, Shards of Honor (reread)
Lois McMaster Bujold, Barrayar (reread)
C. J. Cherryh, Tripoint
Scott Westerfeld, Pretties
Scott Westerfeld, Specials
Ellen Kushner, Thomas the Rhymer

This makes exactly 50 books in the last 6 months, which is a surprisingly round number. Because this keeping track thing is so new, and might for that matter have influenced my habits, I have no idea how this compares to any other six-month period of my life.

I have some sort of especially grumpy cold, or especially cold-like more severe sickness. So far it has not been so debilitating that I have not been able to go to school, though my throat hurts and my nose is pretty raw and my sleep is suffering and today I can't call out very loudly or sing high notes.

Maybe I should've challenged you to sell yourself on these books, then? Or at least talk about what you found appealing. Thomas the Rhymer sounds interesting because you often say that you enjoy the inhumanness of fey and other creatures, and now I'm curious to read it and possibly get a better perspective on how you think about Himoto & Hirusui.
