three book week

Okay so a bunch of shit happened since we last spoke including my computer died, we flew to the east coast, I went to two weddings, I lost my voice, I got pinkeye, we ended our experiment with #darkness - not in that order - and I want to write about all of it, but time is limited so first: three books by women that I read this week. Um, four actually. And a half. No spoilers, but some might show up in comments.

1. Are You My Mother? by Alison Bechdel.

( Delusions of reference )

2. Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold (Free from Baen!)

( Falling angels sing thee to thy rest )

3. Among Others by Jo Walton

( Is it me? Maybe it's me. )

4) Oh fine, bonus book: The Blessing Of A Skinned Knee: Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Self-Reliant Children by Wendy Mogel.

( If your child is any shade of indigo, please hang up and dial 911 )

Incidentally, if you would like to read some real book reviews, the kind that give you actual information about books and let you know whether you might want to read them or not instead of trailing off into unrelated parenting worries and/or recommendations for pornographic fanfiction, you could do worse than checking out wired's reviews tag. She does good stuff!
