Feb. 20th, 2022 09:33 amSay I plan to post daily as a way of tricking myself into posting merely a few times a week and don't even manage that when I hit a long stretch of absolutely no energy.
Heh.
How's everyone doing?
On my reading for the year, add these two:
Rewild by Devin Grayson (w) and Yana Adamovic (a.) Published by Dark Horse as part of their Berger Books imprint. It's a little urban fantasy about climate change and the anthropocene. A changeling is trying to get humans to at least show willing towards saving the planet, but Titania is ready to take it all back for the Fae, humans literally be damned.
Maus by art spiegelman. When the book was banned for students by the school board, I knew it past time to read it. with as many comics as I read and have read, it's odd to realize this has passed me by. That has since been corrected. I needed to take a break about halfway through. Maus is a heavy piece of work.
I'm currently reading:
What Makes This Book So Great by Jo Walton. This was a series of essays Jo wrote for the Tor.com. I glanced at them at the time but never read them. I'm near the end now, taking them in as bite sized chunks.
Four Lost Cities by Annalee Newitz. Nonfiction, science, covering four lost cities and what we know of them now.
A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine. Space opera, elements inspired it seems from CJ Cherryh. This is a sequel to her book A Memory Called Empire.
Saga Volume 1 by Bryan K. Vaughn (w) and Fiona Staples (a.) Friends of mine loved this series and, as it's now back from a four year hiatus, I thought it was past time to see what the fuss is about. It has been compared to Star Wars which I feel doesn't do the series justice. It's set during an interplanetary war between two different races. It begins with the birth of a child of two soldiers from opposite sides of the war. Wide screen space opera with a focus on the personal, at least, that's where we start.
I'll start Age of Ash, the new book by Daniel Abraham, when I finish Martine's book. I plan to start either the new Stross or McGuire when the new books of each arrive in a week and half. With new books by each arriving on the same day, I fear I'll be like the donkey that starved between two bails of hay trying to decide which one gets priority.
Heh.
