Books Read, January 2011
Feb. 7th, 2011 05:48 pmThat was an interesting month.
( Raised by Wolves, by Jennifer Lynn Barnes - mild spoilers )
( Lovecraft Unbound, by Ellen Datlow )
( The Half-Made World, by Felix Gilman - spoilers in the service of convincing you not to read it )
( The Poison Eaters, by Holly Black )
( Among Others, by Jo Walton )
( The Steerswoman, by Rosemary Kirstein )
( Thor's Wedding Day, by Bruce Coville )
( The Fate of Mice, by Susan Palwick - mild spoilers for the title story )
NOT Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policeman's Union. Oh, right. Chabon's ideas always sound really interesting, and I always hate his characters almost as much as they hate themselves.
Other Media Consumed:
( Music: Seanan McGuire, Tricky Pixie, and Iolet )
( Doctor Who Christmas Special: SPOILERS! )
( TV: Criminal Minds and Being Human )
Total Books: 8
Recent Publication: 6/8

papersky is responsible for my introduction to both Kirstein and Palwick.
New Music: 3 CDs
New Media Produced: Lots of non-fiction for the sekrit projekt, discussed obliquely elsewhere. Home renovations; does that count?
