What are you currently reading? Dreamsnake by Vonda McIntyre. Snake is a healer who uses snakes to heal, but her most powerful snake, the dreamsnake, has been killed. The book won a Hugo in 1979. I’m one chapter in and have little so far to report.
What did you recently finish reading? Sherlock in Love by Sena Jeter Naslund. I reread this book as a comfort fling; I’d abandoned the two previous books I attempted (Death of an Artist by Kate Wilhelm and The Revisionists by Thomas Mullen) and needed something short and light and fun that I knew I already liked. An aged Watson recalls the adventure he and Holmes shared surrounding the intriguing violinist V. Sigerson, and also Mad King Ludwig.
What do you think you’ll read next? Treasure at the Heart of the Tanglewood by Meredith Ann Pierce. It’s a book I haven’t read by an author I’ve consistently liked. Or possibly In the Forests of Serre by Patricia A. McKillip, for the same reason as above. I have a bunch of books reserved at the library, but they are all just released and still on order, and must afterwards be cataloged, so March will have quite a few new reads.
And I have had some event every evening this week, and I’ve barely been at home and I haven’t written much, and I’m tired, and good night.
