Books 161-165, Fiction 152-155, Non-Fiction 10.

Fiction:

152-154. Mike Shepherd, Kris Longknife: Defiant, Kris Longknife: Resolute, Kris Longknife: Audacious.

Like really cheap tasty chocolate. Except in book form. Space opera. Fun.

155. Laurell K. Hamilton, A Lick of Frost.

I know what you're thinking. But my patience is paying off. There are only about three or four superfluous sex scenes in this novel (maybe five or six? I do not keep track), and they're getting shorter. At the same time, the politics and the actual relationship shit is getting more interesting. It's not a bad book, by half.

Non-Fiction:

10. Sarah B. Pomeroy, Spartan Women.

Clear, lucid, engaging academic treatise on the evidence relating to Spartan women, and its interpretations. With footnotes. Lots of lovely footnotes and discussion.

I cannot praise her enough.

The Merry Gentry books are doing the same improvement thing as the last couple of Anita Blakes then ? Hmm.

I'm probably not going to pick them up any time soon, as I bounced hard off the first one whereas I had enough investment in the first half-dozen Anitas to keep slogging through, but that's worth my knowing against the unlikely prospect of being out of things I want to read. Thank you.

One data point doesn't make a trend, but it seems likely.
