#TheSilenceOfTheGirls sounds (well, you know what I mean) like a very interesting book. Saw the Swedish edition, as well as the second in the series (in English) in the shop today. I have a mile high TBR pile, so I never brought them home.

I should have, shouldn't I?

Currently reading #Machine by #ElizabethBear and enjoying it.

Just finished #TheGoldenEnclaves by #NaomiNovik, and loved the whole #Scholomance series.

So… the first book of Naomi Novik's #Temeraire series didn't really do it for me, so I had pretty much ignored her stuff. Earlier today, almost on a whim, I picked up the first of the #Scholomance books and bloody hell, it's glorious. Inhaled the book in a few hours. Great world building, a fabulous lead character and a kind of Buffy vibe without any of the Whedon ickiness.

I reckon I would have fallen even harder for it if I'd read it in my teens :)
