December Reading List

[unicornduke]

Yay books. I need to go to my library and drop the batch of physical books I got and get more :)

Read

• Spirit Gate by Kate Elliot - Years and years ago I tried reading this book and as far as I can tell is was written as a series, so we were in the time of "oh god everything is terrible and horrible and getting worse" which I think is why I didn't finish it the first time. It took me a bit to get through it but the little bit of hope at the end of the first book was very uplifting because everything else was so terrible. Physical library book
• The Burning Page by Genevieve Cogman - Another delightful book in the series, intrigue, danger, books! Physical library book
• A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan - incredibly good memoir style fantasy book with a lot more dead people than I expected. Physical library book
• Latest edition of Spin Off Magazine - library e-magazine
• Paladin's Faith by T Kingfisher - boy paladins are annoying but this really had some intriguing plots, enjoyable as always - E-book
• Latest edition of Handwoven Magazine - library e-magazine
• Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice - my god this was amazing. It gave me such anxiety and horror but it was good. The changes between the vivid dream sequences and the day to day trudging was just amazing. I could see the ending coming and it was terrible but I think that anticipation made it better. Library e-book
• Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree - fun, cozy, sweet with a little adventure, very good. Library e-book
• The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord - I would call this less of a sci-fi as a philosophical romance book in a sci-fi world. It was okay. Library e-book
• A Power Unbound by Freya Marske - appropriately dramatic ending to the series, delightful. Library e-book
• Unraveling by Peggy Orenstein - really decent if you don't know much about the fiber supply chain but I was a little disappointed that the author didn't really like, contemplate what could change or how to do it. Which maybe wasn't the point. I think maybe I knew too much about the fiber industry although I like her analysis of a lot of things. Library e-book
•  

Re-read 

• Witch King by Martha Wells - third time, still just as good. Physical library book
• The Wonder Engine by T Kingfisher - super glad I read this before the latest Paladin book came out, fun/horrible as always. E-book

The Wonder Engine is amazing and painful. Kingfisher really knows how to write conflicted emotions.
