Books Read in January

1. Jan 20: The Lodge of the Lynx by Katherine Kurtz & Deborah Turner Harris (The Adept #2) 1992, Urban Fantasy [S]
I find I'm more interested in the characters than the story
2. Jan 26: The Habitation of the Blessed by Catherynne Valente (A Dirge For Prester John #1) 2010, Fantasy [N]
Sureal tale within a tale withing a tale

Podcasts Listened to in January

1. Full Share by Nathan Lowell (Trader's Tales #3), read by author, Space Opera
Re-listened. Perhaps the best of the Ishmael Wong stories.
2. Marker Stone by Paul J. Joseph (Through The Fold #1), read by author, Space Opera
A not bad opening/prologue, vocal quality is fair, story is good
3. Beneath Ceaseless Skies Edited by Scott H. Andrews (Anthology), literary adventure fantasy
   
   • Episode 004: The Last Devil by Sarah L. Edwards, read by author, fantasy
   An unusual tale of loyalty and choices
   • Episode 027: Great, Golden Wings by Rachel Swirsky, read by Scott H. Andrews, gaslamp fantasy
   A touching vignette of the power of art
4. Double Share by Nathan Lowell (Trader's Tales #4), read by author, Space Opera
Re-listened. A good story, but not an easy story.
5. Podcastle Edited by Anna Schwind and Dave Thompson (Anthology), fantasy
   • Episode 138: Balfour and Meriwether in the Adventure of the Emperor’s Vengeance by Daniel Abraham, read by Paul S. Jenkins, Steampunk
   Fun period adventure with a philosophical twist at the end
6. Owner's Share by Nathan Lowell (Trader's Tales #6), read by author, Space Opera
The startling conclusion to the Ishmael Wong stories. I'd say more if it weren't for *Article 37*

That's a lotta podcast listening! (I'm actually going to be in my third one ever, but I never seem to have the time to listen to one.) I'm actually intrigued by your book #2 there and shall have to remember the title for sometime in 2016 when I may get some free time.

it is a lot of podcast listening
