Stalling for Time

We got a new digital camera and my review writing is going really slowly, so here are some of pictures of recent book acquisitions (for those who like that sort of thing). These are some of the books I got for Christmas. On the left is The Charmed Sphere, the first book in Catherine Asaro’s fantasy series, Misted Cliffs. I got this one from a friend who is also a big fan of Asaro’s Skolian saga. We’ve both been wondering […]

I’m now reading the […]

Elizabeth Bear also has a new Edda of Burdens book (By the Mountain Bound) coming out later in the year and the next of Ann Aguirre’s Sirantha Jax series (Doubleblind) will be […]

Favorites of 2008

2008 has come to a close and it was a great year for reading since I read a great many more really good memorable books than I did in 2007. My only reading goal for the year was to read 50 books and I ended up reading 54, which is a lot more than 2007 (which was something like 36). That’s probably at least partially because I discovered I really liked space opera this year and read a lot of […]
