2007 Hugo and Campbell Nominees: My Ballot: For the curious, below the cut is my Hugo and Campbell ballot....
Delacroix, Claire, Lynn Kurland, Sharon Shinn, and Sarah Monette: The Queen in Winter: The Queen in Winter is a collection of four novellas of romantic fantasy with winter themes. I read it as a lighter part of my Worldcon homework, because Sarah Monette has a story in it. To take the stories in...
Lynch, Scott: (01) Lies of Locke Lamora, The: The Lies of Locke Lamora is Scott Lynch's first novel and the standalone beginning to the "Gentlemen Bastard" sequence. Locke Lamora is a person, not a place (as for some reason I first thought); he is a con artist extraordinaire...
Lynch, Scott: (01) Lies of Locke Lamora, The (re-read): I know, I know, I just read The Lies of Locke Lamora, by Scott Lynch. The thing is, when I was paging through it looking for quotes, I remembered how much I'd enjoyed the characters, and that I'd given a...
Monette, Sarah: (01-02) Mélusine, The Virtu: Sarah Monette's Mélusine and The Virtu are not without flaws, but are so vivid and engrossing that I didn't notice until after I'd finished reading—and even then, they took up a lot of space in my mind, as happens only...

Novik, Naomi: (01) His Majesty's Dragon (spoilers): This post contains SPOILERS for His Majesty's Dragon. Here's the non-spoiler post if you got here by mistake. [Originally posted at my LiveJournal while this booklog was down; there are comments there.]...
Novik, Naomi: (02) Throne of Jade: Naomi Novik's Throne of Jade is the second book in the Temeraire series, begun with His Majesty's Dragon. It is not a direct sequel, but addresses the conflict raised by the end of the first book: Temeraire is from a...
Novik, Naomi: (03) Black Powder War: Objectively speaking, the plot of Black Powder War, by Naomi Novik, is probably just as good as its predecessor, Throne of Jade; it just happens to spend more time on something that doesn't interest me as much. It's also another...
Sanderson, Brandon: Elantris: One of the most useful things I've learned from the Internet is the phrase Your Mileage May Vary, usually seen as the abbreviation YMMV, which roughly means "tastes differ." For instance: I thought Brandon Sanderson's Elantris was pretty "enhh," but...
