FF: Do Subtitles Count?
Kwahe’e and The Snow Queen
Still far too busy and by the end of the day rather than curling up with a good book, all I’m good for is an episode or two of the anime Lupin the Third. I do watch in Japanese with subtitles, so I hope subtitles count…
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.
Recently Completed:
Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King. Audiobook. This book would have been great even without the brilliant performances by the ensemble cast, but with them… Wow!
In Progress:
The Snow Queen by Joan Vinge. I read this years after it was winning awards. Came away feeling the awards were well deserved. Re-reading. However, the complex world building does demand me to be alert.
Od Magic by Patricia A. McKillip. Audiobook. Jim knows I love McKillip’s work, and found this for me on our library’s site. Almost done. I’ve read it before but still am enjoying.
Also:
Some beading magazines. Not that I have time to bead, but I love the colors and seeing how creative some people can be with nothing more than seed beads and thread.
