FF: Moving Right Along
Roary Has a QuestionI decided to stick with Bujold’s work, but shift to a longer piece. I’ll definitely go back to Penric, though! There are a bunch more novellas I haven’t read.
Worth noting that Penric’s Mission and Mira’s Last Dance are really one long novel. I don’t count an unresolved romantic plotline as leaving anything “hanging.” In fact, I approve, since for these characters as quick and easy resolution would be less likely.
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 Sinister Booksellers of Bath by Garth Nix. Book Two in the series. I really enjoyed this. The ending was quite clever and dealt with Susan’s issues very nicely indeed.
Penric’s Fox by Lois McMaster Bujold. Audiobook.
Penric’s Mission by Lois McMaster Bujold. Audiobook.
Mira’s Last Dance by Lois McMaster Bujold. Audiobook. Penric novella.
Prisoner of Limnos by Lois McMaster Bujold. Audiobook. Penric novella.
In Progress:
The Dyson File by Jacob Holo. ARC. Set in the Gordian Division universe Holo has collaborated in with David Weber, but a solo.
The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold. Audiobook. World of the Five Gods, but not Penric.
Also:
Archeology, the latest issue. Sometimes reading about cities that thrived for over a millennia and are now completely lost and forgotten by all but experts can be a bit of a downer.
