February Readalongs
10/2/11 07:25Time for a round up of what group reading projects I’ll be taking part in this month:
This month I’m taking part in the Women if Sci-fi readalong, by reading Ursula Le Guin’s ‘The Dispossessed’. I’m a little way in to the book and I think I may be overcoming my Le Guin block. I know, I know, everybody loves Earthsea except me. There’s nothing I can do about that, but I can enjoy this book.
It’s also the second month of Carl’s Sci-fi Experience. I didn’t mention I was thinking of joining in this (in case of failure), but I did and I’m feeling accomplished, so I will now use Jenny’s retroactive resolutions idea to prove my accomplishment:
Resolutions
Read a book for Carl’s Sci-fi Experience.
Done! I spent all last Saturday reading ‘Motherlines’, the second novella in The Holdfast Chronicles series by Suzy McKee Charnas. It was good, good, good (and it was delicious to be able to start and finish a book in one day, ahhhh). More to come about ‘Motherlines’ soon.
Finally I’m hoping to join in with the Persephone Reading weekend. I think in the end I’ll be reading one of the two Persephones my mum has, so either ‘Still Missing’ by Beth Guthcheon, which it seems everyone loves, or ‘Dimanche and other stories’ by Irene Nemirovsky, whose work I just would swim in if possible. Tough choice, does anyone want to pick for me?
As always if anyone is doing any of these projects and wants to chat about them I would LOVE that.
