William ,'Conversations with Dead People'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
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!
I put up a post that (also contains links to what I did this year) has a lot of short stories I've loved, and novels too. [link]
Susan, yes, I enjoyed it. Don't know that it belonged on the Hugo list (or was that the Nebula?), but it was fun. There's a sequel coming out next year, I think.
Omg, Susan, thank you for mentioning Vorkosigan!
You're welcome! I love that series so much.
There's a sequel coming out next year, I think.
Cool! I definitely want to visit these characters again.
My godson (age 14) has professed an interest in politics. His mom is wondering if this book [link] is a good readable overview. Does anyone have any opinions. I feel that Naomui Wolf is hardly non-partisan, but we are (although the uncles are not) left leaning, so the point may be moot.
So, has anyone read Crazy Rich Asians? I read it on the plane today, and ... I'm conflicted. It's funny and quick-witted but also kind of mean and full of stereotypes, just stereotypes I'm not familiar with. I dunno.
I'm looking for recommendations for mystery novels preferably with female authors and the darker the better. Because that's all I seem to want to read right now.
