	Denise gave to: Against the Odds (Serrano Legacy, Book 7) by Elizabeth Moon	my rating:
	read in May, 2008 Denise said: "Excellent conclusion to the series. I missed book 5 (which made figuring out bits of book 6 difficult), but I really look forward to going back and filling it in. " add a comment
	Denise gave to: Change of Command (Serrano Legacy, Book 6) by Elizabeth Moon bookshelves: sf	my rating:
	read in May, 2008 Denise said: "Moon continues to deliver on the fast-paced, engaging, well-plotted military sf. I love her world and I love her characters. " add a comment
	Denise gave to: And All the Stars a Stage (Paperback) by James Blish bookshelves: firstread, sf	my rating:
	read in April, 2008 Denise said: "Like so many male sf authors, Blish has skanky women issues, and they're pretty apparent in this book; I spent a lot of it gritting my teeth. The worldbuilding is decent, though, and it says some interesting things in the midst of all the "wait,...more " add a comment
	Denise gave to: Feet of Clay (Discworld, Book 19) by Terry Pratchett bookshelves: fantasy, reread	my rating:
	read in April, 2008 Denise said: "It's Terry Pratchett writing the City Watch, what else do you need to know? If you haven't read the Discworld series, seriously, go read them right now. " add a comment
	Denise gave to: Once a Hero (Serrano Legacy, Book 4) by Elizabeth Moon bookshelves: firstread, sf	my rating:
	read in May, 2008 Denise said: "Good strong military sf with likeable protagonists and a fascinating setting. It's part of a series, but it stands alone fairly well. " add a comment
	Denise gave to: The Multiple Man (Mass Market Paperback) by Ben Bova bookshelves: firstread, sf	my rating:
	read in April, 2008 Denise said: "Okay but not fabulous; Bova's women issues shine through a little too clearly for me to just relax and enjoy. I spotted the twist about fifty pages before it happened, too. " add a comment
	Denise gave to: A Case of Conscience (Paperback) by James Blish bookshelves: firstread, sf	my rating:
	read in April, 2008 Denise said: "I couldn't actually even bring myself to finish this one. Flat characters, nothing compelling, no real through-line to the story; I got halfway into it, realized I didn't care, and put it down. " add a comment
	Denise gave to: All In: The (Almost) Entirely True Story of the World Series of Poker by Jonathan Grotenstein bookshelves: firstread, sociology	my rating:
	read in May, 2008 Denise said: "Nothing new to any fan of the professional poker world, but the entertaining writing and the fact that it's all collected in one place makes it worth the read; if you aren't into the poker world, this is a good look at the people who populate it, w...more " add a comment
	Denise gave to: The Short Victorious War (Honor Harrington, #3) by David Weber bookshelves: firstread, sf	my rating:
	read in May, 2008 Denise said: "Dry in places -- at times I think Weber's more in love with his worldbuilding and the war being fought than he's in love with the characters -- but still an entertaining read. Start with the first in the series, though. (I am not even going ...more " add a comment
