Books

Finished: The Hallowed Hunt, by Lois McMaster Bujold. Second half much more engrossing than the first - setup took too long.

Not finished, probably not going to: Finders Keepers, by Linnea Sinclair. From the cover art, I expected another Woman Renegade Space Marine (she looks like a cross between Starbuck and Tasha Yar), but as soon as she lays eyes on a Maaaan she gets all mushy and hormonal. Yeesh. And I'm sure I can guess than his shadowy background means he will turn out to be the scion of the Big Bad, but have a heart of gold and sweep her off her feet. I don't mind space rangers with sex lives, but this is Series Romance with the names changed - she could just as easily be a long-haul trucker who finds our hero on the roadside in the Rocky Mountains. Yeesh again.

I am fond of Stitch In Snow. What others have I missed?

The Lady is one of my personally favorite comfort books. Girls, horses, romance, social commentary...

That's what I'm reading right now! It's fascinating! :) I never much got into horse research as a girl, so this is quite an education as well as a slightly unexpected romance.
