November Reading

November has officially come to a close with only 3 books completed during the month.  I was going to hold off on this post since I was hoping to have a review up tonight, but I keep arguing with myself about it and it’s not going to be done tonight.  Oh well! Books read in November are: 44. Resenting the Hero by Moira J. Moore (review) 45. The Habitation of the Blessed by Catherynne Valente (review forthcoming) 46. The King […]

Since my husband is a huge fan of Vernor Vinge, I also […]
