FF: This Is A Blank
Kwahe’e Is Never Unpleasant
I’ve been writing like a mad fiend, which does cut into my reading time… But the weekend is coming!
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:
The Tyrant’s Tomb by Rick Riordan. Audiobook. Trials of Apollo, four. Quite good, although I felt as if Riordan lost some of his usual grip on mythic elements and use of humor in non-humorous settings. Nonetheless, I enjoyed.
The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club by Dorothy L. Sayers. As with her prior novel, a story in which timing is a key element.
In Progress:
For once, this is blank because I probably won’t have time until Saturday to figure out what I’m reading next.
I think I need a break from classic mystery.
Also:
Earlier in the year, I subscribed to a couple of short fiction magazines, in addition to DreamForge, which I read pretty much as soon as I get my copy. I’ve been dipping into these.
