Six books read this month. Not too many.
De Februari-Staking — B. A. Sijes
This is the history of how, on 25 and 26 February, 1941, workers in Amsterdam went on strike against the increasing persecution of the Jews by the nazi occupation forces. It was the first openly, massive act of resistance against this persecution in occupied Europe.
The Riddle Master of Hed — Patricia A. McKilip
A classic fantasy story I hadn’t read before. Interesting, somewhat strange in places, feeling as if I stepped into the middle rather than the start of a trilogy.
Selling Out — Justina Robson
The second book in Robson’s science fiction/fantasy mixup starring Lila Black, who almost died on her first mission and was remade in a nuclear powered killing machine
Bloodmind — Liz Williams
The sequel to Darkland, as Vali Hallsdottir once again has to work together with those who’d normally be her enemy to stop somebody worse.
Dragonsong — Anne McCaffrey
The first novel in the Harper Hall trilogy of Pern novels, this pretty much is a young adult power fantasy of an unappreciated young woman running away from home only to find her talents appreciated for the first time.
Dragonsinger — Anne McCaffrey
The second Harper Hall novel, continuing the adventures of Menolly, as she struggles to adjust to life in Harper Hall.
