Jo Walton’s November Reading List

At tor.com, this post: Jo Walton’s Reading List: November 2020

The two that jump out at me: The Curse of Chalion and The Pride of Chanur.

CJC is not someone who necessarily works well for me when I look around for something soothing to re-read. That would be LMB, in fact, or at least Bujold is one of the best for this purpose for me.

I haven’t read any of the other books on her list.

This one sounds quite promising:

The Old Nurse’s Stocking Basket, Eleanor Farjeon (1931) Terrific short story collection about an immortal nurse who tells stories to her charges as she mends their stockings, and the stories are about other children she has nursed over hundreds of years and many countries, and they’re also fairy tales with aspects of many mythologies. Surprisingly well done for 1931, and most of the stories are delightful, have no morals, and are just fun. Free on Gutenberg.
