This is the one she started eons ago and put away when she started writing with Bob whathisface. I'm interested to get it, because I really didn't like the books she did with him.
I have those but haven't read them because I heard so many good things about them. This is more of her usual style with added
ghosts.
The one thing I am not liking about it is that the
main couple do not spend much time together in the first half of the book, more time thinking about each other. I'm hoping things will pick up a bit in the second half.
Aims, I was thinking of you especially when I posted. I knew you would want to know about a new Crusie.
You totally made my night. THank you!!
Hugo Award Winners!!!
Seanan won the Campbell! Sorry, Gail Carriger fans, but I'm excited as fuck.
Also,
The Windup Girl
and
The City and the City
tied. Does that happen often? I want to read them both.
Also Patrick N. Hayden won Hugo for best editor!
Congrats to Seanan, P-C. I really enjoyed Feed, and I'm looking forward to the next one. It's also props to her agent Diana, whom I'm friends with--I suspect this will also be good for her career as well.
Oh, that's cool, 'Suela! Seanan has nothing but wonderful things to say about Diana. She's her own personal superhero.
I'm currently in the middle of
An Artificial Night.
Each book in this series is so different. I haven't read many urban fantasy series, so I don't know if that's common. There are so many of them I kind of expect them to have the same general plot structure.

I once spent a couple of hours talking with Diana about various ficwriters we knew, and she was badgering me to write something long and original she could represent--before I figured out who she was. *grins*
If only I had something I could give her! Sigh.
My brother is bored with his current reading and at drift. He challenged me : ask your friends what the best scifi book that has come out in the last 10 years was
So gimme.
Well if Dystopians count, I'd say Oryx and Crake followed by the Year of the Flood, both by Atwood.
I'm usually very bad at choosing The Best Anything, but I think I'll go with Anathem.
