As you know, last week I decided to jump aboard the Worlds Without End Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge. Seeing as we're already halfway through 2013, I figured I'd better get cracking.
Since my last update, I've already managed to finish a couple of books, so keep an eye out on this blog for their reviews over the next few weeks.
I've also started on two more since, which when I'm done reading should -- at an average of one book per month -- get me up to speed for this challenge.
Kind of weird how it worked out to me reading two books about dragons at the same time, but the way the creatures are portrayed are so different in each. Both books are quite good so far. I guess I've been lucky in making my choices for this challenge, because I haven't yet come across a book or an author I couldn't stand.
Speaking of which, I also wanted to mention that I made a last-minute change on my list of books and authors. I'd forgotten that I ordered a copy of Marie Robinette Kowal's Glamour in Glass a couple weeks ago up until the hardcover practically showed up on my doorstep. It was one of the 2012 Nebula Awards nominees and I really wanted to check it out, so when I saw that Kowal and her book fit the challenge requirements, I switched them in. I've updated my original post to reflect the change.





Ooh I MIGHT be getting Glamour in Glass for review when it's released over here. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the choices for my book club July reads, where the theme is Nebula 2012 nominees. Whether we vote to read it or not, I saw the hardcover on sale at Bookcloseouts for $2.99 and just said, the hell with it, I have to have it :)
