FF: Lest You Think That
For This One, Imagine Flowers ReadingLest you think that I spend all my time listening to recorded books, I want to note that the Penric and Desdemona books are novellas, not full novels! Mind you, I enjoy them enough that I would spend all my time listening, but that’s not likely to happen right now.
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. And it’s also a great place to tell me what you’re reading. I’m always impressed to see that—contrary to what publishers seem to think—the same reader may read a wildly assorted range of material.
Completed:
The Lefthanded Booksellers of London by Garth Nix. Book One in his Lefthanded Booksellers series. I read this when it came out from a library copy and liked it enough to buy my own copy. I’m re-reading mostly because I want to, but also because one of my next reads will be the newer release, The Sinister Bookseller of Bath. Still in love with it.
Penric’s Demon by Lois McMaster Bujold. Audiobook. Just started. I’ve read this series before and it’s excellent.
Penric and the Shaman by Lois McMaster Bujold. Audiobook.
In Progress:
The Sinister Booksellers of Bath by Garth Nix. Book Two in the series. So far quite good. I even sympathize with Susan’s attitude.
Penric’s Fox by Lois McMaster Bujold. Audiobook.
The Dyson File by Jacob Holo. ARC. Set in the Gordian Division universe Holo has collaborated in with David Weber, but a solo.
Also:
Archeology, the latest issue. Happily reading about how the Persian Empire dealt with numerous different member groups.
