What I've Read

A Conspiracy of Kings - Megan Whalen Turner - The ending lands! It's just a dang good book!

Fireheart Tiger - Aliette de Bodard - Hugos Death Race 2022 (Best Novella Nominee)  - I have loved AdB since I read the Tea Master and the Detective in early pandemic, and I have a special place for her novellas. This is worth a read. We'll see if I want it for my Hugo card.


What I'm Reading

Thick as Thieves - Megan Whalen Turner - This is hilarious. Literally just wonderful writing. I am loving Kamet as the narrator.

Four Profound Weaves - RB Lemberg - I have read precisely to the point that the book club asked for and no farther. I am a virtuous and obedient book club member. But I really want to see how this goes. I love the viewpoints of both the main characters - elder trans people from different cultures, dealing with some really important personal metaphors. 

Melusine - Sarah Monette - The pacing on this is just slower than I usually like. Not bad! Just, not as tight as the Goblin Emperor. 

Across the Green Grass Fields - Seanan McGuire -  Hugos Death Race 2022  (Best Novella Nominee) - Started this morning, probably could finish tonight if I want to. Solid so far! I like the main character, and hope that her cowardice passes as she grows. 

What I'll Read Next

Um. Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyers. I rewatched the first movie and it (mostly) was really fun and I liked it. I can see the problems that others have mentioned! I'm just choosing a different interpretation!

I was also inspired by a friend's Oscars Death Race this year to try a Hugo Death Race - aka, trying to read all the works nominated in their categories, before the awards are announced in September. I made a Google Doc and everything! 

So, on that list I will next read Becky Chambers the Galaxy and the Ground Within, and Alix Harrow A Spindle Splinters
