lists of the day
Jun. 21st, 2009 09:02 pmFruit of the day: Delcious Monster. (I am not kidding, that's what it's called.)
Books I bought today:
Mirror Dance by Lois McMaster Bujold. A Vorkosigan book, yay! Now I can get some background on Mark! *excited*
Pegasus In Space by Anne McCaffrey. I read the one before it, and a bunch that take place decades later, but I never got my hands on this one before.
Sassinak by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Moon. I used to own this, but my mom's dog destroyed it. Been jonesin' to read it again, so I snapped it up.
Space Opera which looks to be an anthology of music-themed scifi short stories, edited by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough.
Fiddler Fair, which is a poorly structured collection of short stories by Mercedes Lackey. Another one I used to own and wanted again.
Reserved For The Cat by Mercedes Lackey. Haven't read anything else in the 'Elemental Masters' setting, but eh. *shrugs* This is about a French ballerina, and you see, once a long time ago, before Lackey took issue with her Tregarde books, she promised a book involving the vampire character in those which would involve French ballerinas. My memory of that, combined with OH HEY TALKING CAT (which I am, alas, a complete sucker for) is why I bought this 'un.
These last two are both Star Trek (TOS) novels --
Renegade by Gene Deweese (or possibly DeWeese -- it's always DEWEESE in the text on and in the book). Spock and McCoy apparently killed! Kirk doubting the Prime Directive! One of the few at the store that didn't involve Klingons and/or Romulans! eta: Involves Klingons.
The Tears of the Singers by Melinda Snodgrass. This one has Klingons in. But it also has Uhura on the cover wearing pants, and is furthermore some kind of metaphor about seal-clubbing, I begin to suspect. But it has Uhura singing, so I will put up with it. Probably.
Notable non-book purchase of the day: TMNT (2007) on DVD. Turtle power, dudes!
