FF: Time Warp
Dandy AnticipatesI am writing this draft before my surgery, because I don’t know if I’ll have the energy to do so after. Instead of telling you what I’m reading, I’ll tell you what I’ve finished, and then offer some of what’s on my “hope to read” list.
A reminder. The Friday Fragments is not a book review column; it’s a list of what I’m reading and maybe a bit about my opinions. I always read the comments section and enjoy learning what other people are reading. Oh, and I don’t usually list shorter works unless in a collection or articles, I also don’t usually list scattered research reading.
Completed:
Witchy Kingdom by D.J. Butler. Adds a lot of complexity to this alternate version of (mostly) North America. I hope to read the final book in the series fairly soon.
With Strings Attached by Jonathan Kellerman. Mystery/thriller author Jonathan Kellerman collects guitars. In this book, he brings his love of research and fluid prose style to a look at his collection. Also includes a few essays on luthiers of note. I very much enjoyed.
The Girl in the Green Silk Gown by Seanan McGuire. Audiobook.
In Progress:
Not completely sure but a few possibilities. I haven’t chosen a new audiobook, but I’m
This Island Earth. I haven’t read this classic SF novel, but my pal Paul Dellinger gifted us with a copy of the book, as well as a copy of the movie. I think it would be fun to read the one and see the other.
As pictured above, the adventures of Ursula Vernon’s Harriet the Hamster Princess books. These are the sort of smart middle grade books an adult can enjoy just as much (and maybe more) than a kid. Added bonus, the same whimsical illustration style Ursula brought to her award-winning graphic novel, Digger.
I’ve also earmarked a few non-fiction books that I’ve wanted to delve into. None are super “heavy,” but they are full of interesting content.
Also:
I’ve finished all our usual periodicals, but with April starting I suspect more will arrive.
