draNgNonI suppose what I ought to read is The Dracula Tapes by Fred Saberhagen. after all, it's almost Walpurgisnacht.
maybe that's next.
draNgNonI'm #CurrentlyReading The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett
it feels familiar, a fantasy-setting murder mystery, but the MO and settings are novel to me.

draNgNonat long last, I'm #CurrentlyReading Translation State by Ann Leckie
I am sure it will be a wonderful read...all my friends who've read the book adore it.
I'd held off getting it becuase I wanted it in mass market paperback format. then I gave in and got the trade paperback anyhow, but was too busy to read it, and then I read all these other books in the last 2 weeks since hurting my shoulder.
Maybe I'll re-read Ancillary Justice after this. ...maybe.

draNgNonI'm #CurrentlyReading Provenance by Ann Leckie
I am sure it will be a marvellous read...
but I must digress to whine about the physicality of the book.
it's the softcover on the Orbit imprint with the stylized blue cover. it sure looks like they took a font and layout intended for mass market paperback and blew it up for the softcover/trade paperback size so they could charge more. I could probably read it from 5' away and it's more paper than it needed to be.
I wanted physical copies of Imperial Radch for a while now – the Ancillary books are superb, but I was unhappy when I read them as ebooks and lacked the ability to flip back and forth easily – but this situation bugs me, I generally don't prefer trade-sized softcover fiction, they wear out too easily, but mass market paperback was not to be found.
anyhow, I am reading it, long overdue. my cracked scapula has 4 more weeks to go. I got nothing else to do really, other than work and read and faff about online.

draNgNonI'm #CurrentlyReading The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik
The prior book was a joy to read, even if it was a reminder of how young people adapt to the most horrific conditions.
Am looking forward to reading this one, but it's longer and I'm busy with work, entirely slowed down by my hurty shoulder.

draNgNonI'm #CurrentlyReading A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik
Someone mentioned it in a thread a few weeks ago, and I decided it was compelling. After consideration I bought the beautiful hardcover edition. I did not feel an ebook would do the diagrams justice. Then I was too busy to read them.
Now it's time...

draNgNonI gotta say, Ribbon Dance was fantastic. I ploughed through the newly-released sequel, _Diviner's Bow_, which was darker and a bit less crisp, with POV shifts that sometimes befuddled. But, their relevance was all clear in the end.
On that note, I've caught up on the Liaden Universe®
... and have my arm in a sling for 5 more weeks. Hmmm

I feel like I'm making up for lost time on speculative fiction, as I blew through a re-read of its prequel _Trader's Leap_ over the last day or so.
