Colleen Gleason Rises the Night
More adventures of the Victorian era vampire slayer and her potential paramours. It's like these books were written just for me. Hee. I mean, it's not the pinnacle of good writing, but it's very entertaining.
Georgette Heyer Sylvester
I quite enjoyed this one. It's not often you get a romance novel that is mostly written from the guy's point of view.
Nalo Hopkinson Brown Girl in the Ring
What a fantastic book! A Toronto that crumbled, fell into lawlessness and disrepair, and is ignored by everyone, except for the man who rules by abusing the Caribbean spirits. And a woman who has to find her way to those same spirits in order to protect herself and her family.
Wayne Johnston The Navigator of New York
Taking place in St John's Newfoundland (before it was part of Canada), New York, and Greenland during the turn of the 20th Century, it's a story of family, love, and polar exploration. I enjoyed it very much, despite a somewhat excessive conclusion. Beautiful descriptions, both of travelling through the ice, and of historical New York.
Scott Lynch Red Seas Under Red Skies
A sequel to The Lies of Locke Lamora. Great great stuff. I hope he keeps writing. I missed the rest of the gang (or the having of a gang), though.
Neptune Noir: Unauthorized Investigations into Veronica Mars
These were fun essays - some academic, some very fannish. The only problem was that I really wanted to argue with some of the points and I couldn't! I mean, I did, but no-one heard me. :D
And I re-read American Gods (Neil Gaiman) and Sewer Gas and Electric (Matt Ruff), two of my favourite books.
