I love books
Oct. 15th, 2009 12:49 pmMore books finished!
One I missed earlier:
Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff's Laldasa: Beloved Slave (which I got as an ebook from www.bookviewcafe.com I dunno if it's available as a printed book). I thought it was good enough to buy after reading the first few chapters for free (rather than wait for them to put up the rest), but it wasn't especially memorable.
Unseen Academicals by PTerry
Still on form I think, I do like just about everything PTerry has written though, so if you haven't so far I can't say that you'll like this one.
Metatropolis, ed. Scalzi
This is an interesting collection of long short stories by different authors set in the same world, it was originally an audio book (but I Don't Do audio books, I have the print edition which amazon appear to have some copies of) (it was nominated for the hugo for dramatic presentation long form, I think that it loosing out to the stupid robot was sad). Anyway; I think the setting is a decent take on cities of the near future and all the authors do interesting things with the setting.
(The US have apparently instituted some rule about bloggers having to reveal where they get stuff from that they promote/review/wevs which I think is weird, on account of, well, millions of blogs and so forth; but anyway, in case you were in any way interested when I review books they are almost all books I paid for at the going rate for said books but sometimes they are books that were loaned to me by friends (this doesn't appear to make me like the books more than I would otherwise). No one sends me free books to review)
