shark_hatSeptember books
Hector Berlioz, Evenings In The Orchestra
Agatha Christie, Death On The Nile
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
Marsha Rowe (ed), Spare Rib Reader
Michael Braun, Love Me Do!
Melissa Scott, Five-Twelfths of Heaven
Margaret Mahy, Changeover (So good- one of those books where I have to restrict my rereading so I don't learn it entirely by heart. This time through, I relished the small domestic details.)
Georgette Heyer, Why Shoot a Butler?
Esther Friesner (ed), The Chick Is In the Mail
Jasper Fforde, Something Rotten
Colin Cotterill, Thirty-Three Teeth
Mercedes Lackey, Oathbound
Mercedes Lackey, Oathbreakers
Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Good Omens
Mercedes Lackey, Fiddler Fair (short stories. Not recommended even if you have a sort of horrid fascination with Lackey.)
Jim Theis, The Eye of Argon
Garth Nix, Lady Friday
Mercedes Lackey, Oathblood
Mercedes Lackey (ed), Sword of Ice (stories set in Valdemar and the rest of that world- two by Lackey, the rest by a mixed bag of people. Some good, some mediocre, and a couple clearly either written by people unfamiliar with the canon, or not originally set in Valdemar at all- a rare example of serial numbers being filed on. OK on the whole.)
Mercedes Lackey, The Fire Rose
Mercedes Lackey, The Fairy Godmother
Stuart Maconie, Pies and Prejudice
Mercedes Lackey, The Firebird
Sarah Monette and Elizabeth Bear, A Companion to Wolves (Yum- well, a bit bleak to be really yum, but ooh, good- chewy and deep and satisfying and very unlike Lackey braincandy.)
Monty Python's Autobiography
Terry Pratchett, Wintersmith
Eleanor H. Porter, Pollyanna Grows Up (like the tooth-achingly worthy bits of L. M. Montgomery, without the redeeming sense of humour.)
Agatha Christie, Murder Is Easy
Jonathan Stroud, The Golem's Eye
James Thurber, The 13 Clocks (The prince whose name begins with X and doesn't! The Golux- the only Golux in the world, and not a mere Device- with his indescribable hat (and describable beard)! The horrifying blob of glup, with its smell of old closed-up rooms! The perfect imprecation for the helpdesk! ("Do this, thus and so," *thinks: "or I'll slit you from your guggle to your zatch"*.) I'm sure we used to have the Penguin ed. of this plus The Wonderful O. Wonder where that's gone?)
