\nThough February is a short month, I still read much less than I should’ve. Only four books, three of which cost me a bit of trouble and one of which I would not have finished if it hadn’t been for my “Year of Reading Women” project.\n<\/p>\n

\nAmong Others<\/a><\/cite> — Jo Walton
\nA coming of age story a very many science fiction fans can recognise parts of, but with a certain kind of magic mixed in. A book that, if you recognise yourself in the protagonist, keeps you grinning for days after finishing it.\n<\/p>\n

\nBold as Love<\/a><\/cite> — Gwyneth Jones
\nIn a near-future, dissolved England, rock ‘n roll revolutionaries take over real power in a country beset by ecological problems, internal strife and political unrest. Uneven, but much better than this quick summary makes it sound. This took me more time to read than I expected.\n<\/p>\n

\nSons of the Conquerors<\/a><\/cite> — Hugh Pope
\nThough located in the history section of the local library, this was more of a travelogue, though dense with history. Hugh Pope is a writer and journalist who has long lived in Turkey and been fascinated by the Turkish peoples, who comes across and oldfashioned Turcophile. <\/p>\n

\nSwordspoint<\/cite> — Ellen Kushner
\nOne of those books that’s published as fantasy and reads as fantasy, but could just as well be a straight historical romance: sword and sorcery without the sorcery. Nicely written but again a book I did longer over than I normally would’ve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
