#scififantasybooks A guilty pleasure break from the Hugo nominated books: Matt Dinniman's latest: 'A Parade of Horribles'. I am envious of Matt's ability to plot out these complex situations, give us character interaction & development, keep everything moving in a humorous manner– while killing millions– and the total absurdity of it makes it work. Damn.

#scififantasybooks Today's Hugo hopeful book is Emily Tesh's The Incandescent. This is a magical school story that focuses on the teachers & administrators, with an emphasis on just how grueling & miserable their jobs & lives are. Yep, that came through really clearly. I get it. Pay teachers more.

#scififantasybooks Still reading the Hugo books. Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Hard SF with really intriguing aliens, set in a universe where hyper-capitalism has ruined everything forever to such a depressing degree that I just couldn't get into it. I'll try again, but these days? I need escapism.

#girlgenius #scififantasybooks Hey, lookit me, reading books like a quaint 20th century person! Today it's The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson. This excellent book did the one thing I appreciate the most in a story: It continually surprised me in a logical & entertaining manner. That's really tough to do because I am a jaded and cynical reader.
