Bookwormish, third quarter of 2015
Oct. 7th, 2015 07:24 pmBooks! Another quarter of the year past, another chance to do a round-up of what I've been reading! (It wasn't meant to become a set quarterly tradition, but I've been enjoying it...)
VERY TOP BOOK:
* Among Others by Jo Walton
This book. I really loved it. I love its unusual take on "how magic works." I love its protagonist, who is prickly and not always even necessarily likable, but always relatable and real. I love how it's not quite categorizable – it's a fantasy book about a character who loves sci fi, and my local library at least had it in the regular adult fiction section, rather than fantasy or YA or whatever else – I love a "genre" book with crossover power (because I kind of hate the whole genre thing anyway). This is also a fairly rare instance of a book I want to go track down and own, right away, even though I initially read it from the library and could theoretically take it out again any time I want.
( MORE BOOKS! )
