Pretender, C.J. Cherryh. Honestly I am not paying that much attention to this book's plot, as I am still hung up on the amazing Jago moment two books ago, in which she says SO IS BARB A COMMON NAME? and Bren has to scramble not to allow the person who is now his brother's girlfriend to be strung up by her heels or something. Also still thrilled by Cajeiri's sudden acquisition of D&D-style followers as if with a level-up -- with legitimately fascinating atevi emotions, I'm not knocking it. In this book, boobytraps mecheiti Tabini Astronomer aeroplane OMG Algini.
Chrysanthe, Yves Meynard. Recommended by rysmiel. So far, severe side-eye for the Evil Therapist and the sexual-abuse (only not! because she's the virginal protagonist! god I hate this trope) setup. We shall see where it goes.
Skip Beat!, Yoshiki Nakamura. (The library copies of v2 and v3 are all in use, which made my mind up as to method.) I do not see why the Beagles are necessary.
But mostly my own previous papers and other people's theses, due to the arrival of Dissertation Time.
• What did you recently finish reading?
The Day Boy and the Night Girl, George MacDonald. Why are there so few perfect stories in the world?
Silhouette of a Sparrow, Molly Beth Griffin. Jazz Age lesbian scientist YA with hot flapper girlfriend and independence for ladies! That is right. Ebooks from the library for the win, and thanks to coffeeandink for the rec.
• What do you think you’ll read next?
This new Melissa Scott, Point of Knives, is in my shopping cart at Smashwords.
