February’s Quick Look

I didn’t read as many books this month, and the books I read were a bit disappointing. I did stumble over a lot of great articles, magnificent poetry, and if you need an audio alternative, I’ve got you covered.

A glimpse of my February mental space:

Books

You Play The Girl by Carina Chocano
– This took a while longer to read than I had planned. You can read the full review here. It helped me learn to look at pop-culture more critically, and that we forget so much, so fast. This book was at its best for me when the author was teaching me history. 2/5

Frost & Fire by Roger Zelazny
– You can read my thoughts on Zelazny‘s Nine Princes in Amber and then see why I considered his writing might need a second look – a chance at redemption. My favorite part of this short story collection was his introduction and the craft bits scattered between the stories. You can read my disappointment here. 2/5

Sabriel by Garth Nix
– I put this one down at pg. 233, which is past the halfway point. I have lots of complaints about this one, but mainly I just didn’t care about the story. 2/5
