I just finished the new Anne Rice book, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis.
Vampires. Aliens. Ghosts. And a solid third of the book taken up with meandering philosophical wankery. Oh, and
an alien species that are giant birds.
It was something. What, I'm not entirely sure. But something. But not as fun as Prince Lestat was.

I finished reading The Jewel and Her Lapidary this morning, despite ltc waking up with only 5 pages to go. What a wonderful story! Are there any other stories planned for this world?

So much for my eyeglasses protecting my secret identity.
Megan - fixed that for you.
SJ - yes! there's a short story at BCS at a very different time/place called The Topaz Marquis and there are two more novellas planned and three short stories. [link]

Yay! I've finally started to make room in my day to read again. So, I need to track where I put your larger novels so I can read those as well.
Have people read The Mirage by Matt Ruff? I keep hoping our current situation is due to an ill-considered wish.
Has anyone else read The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers? It's a sort of found-family-in-SPACE story with good world-building and characterization that I'd recommend for fans of Firefly, the Vorkosigan saga, and maybe Deep Space 9 too.
Omg, Susan, thank you for mentioning Vorkosigan! I was trying to remember that tonight and couldn't remember enough of the name (let alone the author or any of the books) to be able to google it!
