Symphony for a Deadly Throne – E. J. Mellow
I preordered this book – I’d enjoyed the first two books in the series enough that I knew I wanted to read this sooner rather than later. I did enjoy it, but, it’s my least favorite of the three. This is the eldest sister – Arabessa’s – story. They are the daughters of the Thief

Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians – Brandon Sanderson
This is a fun book – it’s a middle reader, so goes by pretty fast. The conceit is that Brandon Sanderson is the pen name a young man named Alcatraz, and is using this book to get his story out to those of us in the lands the Librarians are in charge of. They’re in

The Swans Island Ikat Watercolors is no more – I’ve kicked the skein. This one took a while. It’s light fingering, so it just kept on going as I tried more things to use it up. I felt oddly accomplished when I completed the last hexipuff.
