FF: Reading the Thirteenth
Kel: Divine, Never Wicked!
Superstitions are a lot of fun… What’s your favorite?
For those of you just discovering this part of my blog, the Friday Fragments lists what I’ve read over the past week. Most of the time I don’t include details of either short fiction (unless part of a book-length collection) or magazines.
The Fragments are not meant to be a recommendation list. If you’re interested in a not-at-all-inclusive recommendation list, you can look on my website under Neat Stuff.
Once again, this is not a book review column. It’s just a list with, maybe, a bit of description or a few opinions tossed in.
What are you reading?
Recently Completed:
The Wicked + The Divine, graphic novel, by Gillen, McKelvie, Wilson, and Cowles. Vol 5. First part of “The Imperial Arc.” Interesting. Relying on a bunch of people under twenty-five to save the world – super powers or not – is being presented as problematic.
Growing Food in a Hotter, Dryer Land by Gary Paul Nabhan. Very interesting. I’ve been pleased about how many of the tricks he suggests I’m already aware of and use to my best capacity.
Cibola Burn by James S.A. Corey. Audiobook. Fourth in The Expanse series. Excellent.
In Progress:
The Betsy-Tacy Treasury by Maud Hart Lovelace. I’ve re-read the first couple of volumes and am now reading Betsy and Tacy Go Over the Big Hill. Wow! The bit about the immigrants in “Little Syria” shows how today’s issues are part of a long, long trend.
The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas. Audiobook. A comment from one of the FF readers reminded me of this old favorite.
Also:
Re-reading Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls by Jane Lindskold. Finishing up on this trip.
