[semperfiona]

1. A Red-Rose Chain, Seanan McGuire


2. The Shepherd's Crown, Terry Pratchett


3. The Martian, Andy Weir
   Loved this. Recommended it to ohari, who also loved it.


4. Rolling in the Deep, Mira Grant


5. Captain's Fury, Jim Butcher (audio)


6. The Dinosaur Lords, Vic Milan
   Abandoned about 1/3 of the way through. Too much battle and gore for my taste at the time.


7. *The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, N. K. Jemisin (reread)
   I thought so before I borrowed this, and yes, I had read it before.


8. Princeps' Fury, Jim Butcher (audio)


9. *Midnight Riot, Ben Aaronovitch
   The UK title, _Rivers of London_, fits this book far better. Oh well, who can account for the vagaries of publishers.


10. The Den of Shadows Quartet, *Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
    Abandoned 6% (about a quarter of the first book). This was written when the author was fourteen or something like that, and it shows.


11. Give It to Me, *Ana Castillo
    Abandoned 4%. Dreary depressing characters in a dreary world, and the narrative voice is ungrammatical and annoying.


12. *Wolfcry, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
    Abandoned before chapter one. Same author as the Den of Shadows, written later in her career, but too pretentious for me.


13. Moon Over Soho, *Ben Aaronovitch
    On the other hand I am loving these!


14. Whispers Under Ground, *Ben Aaronovitch


15. Coming of Age at the End of Days, Alice LaPlante (paper)


16. *Santa Olivia, Jacqueline Carey (paper)
