Son of the Return of the Book Reports
Dec. 6th, 2005 04:45 pmHad my last lecture of the semester today (and might I say that I am droolingly, breathlessly crushing on Sociolinguistics?), am halfway through a hard-copy revising pass on Claire de Lune, and have finished up several daily-life projects in the last few weeks at Casa del Leah. Thus, I have time to read again, and you get:
Son of the Return of the Book Reports!*
( Remember that thing I mentioned about telling us when something's first in a series? Sarah Monette's Melusine is the first in a series. Walk in knowing that. )
( Another first novel, Paul Park's A Princess of Roumania, follows a similar pattern... )
Book reports to come include: Frances Hardinge's Fly By Night, Michelle M. Welch's Chasing Fire, Tamara Siler Jones's Threads of Malice, Gene Wolfe's The Knight, Cherie Priest's Four and Twenty Blackbirds, Kim Wilkins's Giants of the Frost, Karen Traviss's The World Before, The Outsiders anthology, etc. and more.
*(As always, all book reports have spent the last three years building up an immunity to spoilers)
