It's Been a While... April Reading

I could study. Or hammer away at makeup work. Or post this book list, only halfway through May.

Note to self: remember how much of that makeup is for english? Admit it, you only like writing about books not read for class. Running away to become an english major isn't so much counterproductive as academically suicidal. Stick to nattering in your journal.

Notable patterns this month: two new books, by familiar authors; four novels reread. Spoilers under the cuts for pretty much everything except Cigar-Box Faust; extensive spoilers for the MZB novels and Contact Imminent.

Cigar-Box Faust and Other Miniatures (Michael Swanwick): ( Collection of Michael Swanwick's short-short stories. )

Thendara House (Marion Zimmer Bradley): ( Reread, so much whining about details. )

City of Sorcery (Marion Zimmer Bradley): ( Short version: I didn't like it the first time, and thought I'd see if my opinion had changed. It hadn't. )

Contact Imminent (Kristine Smith): ( Spoilers of the 'woo-hoo!' variety. )

Meet the Austins (Madeleine L'Engle): ( Quiet reread. )

A Ring of Endless Light (Madeleine L'Engle): ( Another reread, with more commentary. )
