FF: When Do You Read?
Mei-Ling and Roary Battle For the Throne!
Most of my reading these days takes place during a half-hour coffee break in the afternoon, and a little reading before bed. Audiobooks are getting their major workout over the weekend when I’m doing crafts. When do you read?
For those of you unfamiliar with this column, 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:
Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater. Audiobook. While marketed as the first book in a new series, really one needs to have read the four volume Raven Cycle to get the full impact of this novel. That caveat aside, I enjoyed it.
The Documents in the Case by Dorothy L. Sayers with Robert Eustace. A collaboration in which the collaborator provided the science behind the intricate mystery plot.
Clouds of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers. Complex plot with lashings of melodrama for flavor.
In Progress:
Trickster’s Queen by Tamora Pierce. Audiobook. Sequel to Trickster’s Choice. Not a lightweight read, despite an overload of cute monsters.
Also:
New magazines have come in, but I can’t figure out which one I want to read…
