Books 2013: BOOKS FOREVER
Books 2013: 192-196
192. Nicola Griffith, Hild. Farrar Straus Giroux, 2013.
HILD HILD HILD HILD. This is the best book. The best book. I am incoherent with praise, wordless with delighted satisfaction. Read this book.
193. Josephine Tey, A Shilling for Candles. Arrow reprint, originally published 1936.
Nice mystery. Lovely prose at points. Horrible anti-Semitism and racism. Just nasty shit.
194. Laurell K. Hamilton, Affliction.
These books are still a trainwreck. Sometimes it is entertaining to read a trainwreck, as long as one doesn't have to pay money for the privilege.
195. Sharon Shinn, Royal Airs. Ace, 2013.
Light, fluffy, pretty fun.
nonfiction
196. Susan P. Mattern, The Prince of Medicine: Galen in the Roman Empire. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2013.
An excellent biography, revealing both about its subject and about the Roman world.
