I'm impressed....

Although not the way I'd like to be.

Fantasy magazine took a total of 15 hours to reject me, most of those middle-of-the-night if they are, as I thought, on this continent. (I guess that's the advantage of a story of 2k total.)

Hmm. But I liked having stuff out. Where should it go next?

I've been doing a lot of rereading of Pratchett or reading of new but relatively light romance (Jennifer Crusie), so I don't have a lot to say about a lot of new books. Just started Red Seas Under Red Skies for a total change of pace, though, and I imagine I'll have a lot to say about that.

However, there was one older reading I meant to say a few things about around Mammothfail*; that being, obviously, Lois McMaster Bujold's The Spirit Ring. (The book Bujold tried to use as her get out of fail without eating her own foot, not the book Mammothfail is about, which I have decided not to read even though I usually like Wrede's work.)

( The Spirit Ring )

Now, having probably harshed someone's squee by griping abut flaws in a good book, and race-related flaws at that, let's go mindless for a while, and post another old review that never made it onto LJ from the rough draft. How old? Er, it was around Christmas I was reading these.

( Lillian Jackson Braun (The Cat Who... Could Read Backwards, Ate Danish Modern, Saw Red, Played Brahms, Played Post Office) )

Hmm. Not mindless enough. Let's talk tv.

( Torchwood: Children of Earth )

( Sharpe's Mary Sue )

( Merlin )

* Patricia C. Wrede wrote a book about magical pioneers in North America. A North America with plenty of mammoths, and no native human population at all. 'nuff said.
