Oooops...
In Fire Forged, edited by David Weber. Hurrah Honor Harrington &co! 4/5
Kings of the North, by Elizabeth Moon. More of the side characters from Paksenarrion. Moar plz? 5/5
Thirteenth Child, by Patricia C. Wrede. Fascinating take on magic and superstition, and I wait impatiently for the sequel. 4.5/5
A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Re-read. Burnett writes such saccharine stuff, but sometimes you just want sugar... 4/5
The Rogue Crew, by Brian Jacques. Not his best. He can't really be dead. Wibble!!! 3/5
Deathless, by Catherynne M. Valente. Absolutely fascinating. No idea how to describe it. 4.5/5
The Fresco, by Sheri S. Tepper. Re-read. Tepper is fun feminist fiction (ooo alliteration) and I use her as comfort reading. 4/5
Unnatural Issue, by Mercedes Lackey. Most recent in the Elemental Masters series, not quite as good as some of the others, ending a little too abrupt, but a good creepy adaptation of the source tale. Still like Deerskin better. 4/5
Sunshine, by Robin McKinley. Re-read. So good! 5/5
A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle. Re-read. Meg is more annoying than I remember her being. 4.5/5
Lady Knight, by Tamora Pierce. Re-read. I love Kel so much. 4.5/5
Your Call Is (Not That) Important To Us, by Emily Yellin. Fascinating non-fiction. I work in customer service, and gods it is not fun. 4/5
The Snow Queen, by Mercedes Lackey. Re-read. Good but not her best. Ending far too abrupt. 3.5/5
The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Re-read. Not as saccharine as some of her other stuff - Mary and Colin are quite satisfyingly bratty. Dickon is just too good to be true, though. 4/5
Knives and Swords, A Visual History. I love Japanese swords so much. They're beautiful - just this one long sweep of unadorned steel, made for one purpose and utterly perfect for it. Ok, fine, that purpose is killing people, but damn they're pretty. 4.5/5
Exile's Honor, by Mercedes Lackey. Re-read. Oh, Alberich, I love you so. 4.5/5
Pandora's Planet, by Christopher Anvil. Another example of the fuck-with-humans-and-you're-screwed genre of science fiction. Deeply weird ending, though. 3/5
The Dark Mirror, by Juliet Marillier. Oooo Celtic mythology/history/fiction! So pretty! Read this and immediately went and ordered the sequels. Only one major "Oh God So Stupid" moment. 4/5
Swiss Family Robinson, by Johann Wyss. Lots of fun, but my suspension of disbelief died when the kangaroos showed up on the same island as the ostriches, in the Atlantic Ocean. Um. No. 3.5/5
Six Moon Dance, by Sheri S. Tepper. Re-read. Comfort feminist fiction with flipped gender roles. Whee! 4/5
Blade of Fortriu, by Juliet Marillier. Sequel to Dark Mirror, above. Also very good. 4/5
The Well of Shades, by Juliet Marillier. Sequel to Blade, above. Awwww Faolan! 4.5/5
Not that anyone's curious, but the reason nothing's ever below a 3/5 is because if it's that bad I just never finish it.
