Here’s April’s Stuff I’ve Been Reading list.

1. Ironskin by Connolly, Tina
2. The Snow Child by Ivey, Eowyn
3. The Escapement by Parker, K. J.
4. A Hat Full of Sky by Pratchett, Terry*
5. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel by Moggach, Deborah
6. The Golden Egg by Leon, Donna
7. Without a Summer by Kowal, Mary Robinette
8. River of Stars by Kay, Guy Gavriel
9. Wintersmith by Pratchett, Terry*
10. Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Fowler, Therese Anne
11. Pride and Prejudice by Austen, Jane

Italics indicate library books, asterisks indicate audiobooks, and I didn’t finish reading number 10.

The best read was River of Stars by Guy Gavriel Kay, though it had stiff competition. The conclusion to the Engineer Trilogy (The Escapement) was great, but not quite as great as its beginning; and Jane Austen has her own class, of course. The third Glamourist History (Without a Summer) was a very fun read too, but it did not have that sense of destiny, of fatedness, that often attracts me.

Also I’ve listened to so many Terry Pratchett audiobooks excellently narrated by Stephen Briggs that I definitely had at least one dream in his voice.
