April reading

Meljean Brook, The Iron Duke
Wendy Wan-Long Shang, The great wall of Lucy Wu
JB MacDonald, By Degrees
TA Chase, Why I love geeks

This seems suspiciously short. Then again, I also spent chunks of this month converting various fanfics into ebook format and passing them on to a friend, a process that by its very nature means that I end up re-reading said fanfics. Possibly I should develop a more refined converting process.

Minipigish

Matt Whyman, Oink! My life with minipigs. YA writer adds to chaos of home life (4 kids, 1 dog, 2 (initially) cats and assorted chickens) in Sussex by agreeing to his wife’s desire to acquire two minipigs. Problems ensue, many of which seem all too predictable, but it was entertainingly written and just the thing for reading on the plane from Sydney shortly after the earthquake.

Discussion of the ending. )
