FF: Here and There
Persephone Reigns!
It’s been more than insane here, and books have been such a welcome diversion.
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 Burning Maze, “Trials of Apollo” Book Three by Rick Riordan. Audiobook. This series continues to remain strong through numerous expansions. I’m impressed and glad that my youngest niece is getting close to the age when I can give her The Lightning Thief and start her on the journey.
In Progress:
To Reign in Hell by Steven Brust. I’d forgotten that much of this narrative is told via dialogue. Not an easy thing to pull off, at all.
Dead Man’s Ransom by Ellis Peters. Audiobook. Re-read.
Also:
My own stuff as I review the first portion of the increasingly long new Firekeeper opus in preparation for launching into writing the second part.
And various magazines, here and there.
