Hello World!

This blog will eventually contain (I hope) many reviews of Science Fiction and Fantasy novels.  Right now, of course, it contains absolutely nothing.

I am participating in two fantastic book clubs, the Women of Science Fiction and the Women of Fantasy, for 2011.  January's books have already been pretty thoroughly discussed, so I won't add any reviews here.

For February, the selections are Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed, and Freda Warrington's Elfland. If you haven't read The Dispossessed,  I recommend it. I would be re-reading it now, if I hadn't misplaced my copy on another continent.  I am currently working my way through the Warrington book, and I intend to review it on the last day of this month.

Other books I am currently reading include Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age, Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars, and China Miéville's The City and the City. There are also a number of books that I have not yet started to read, but will begin in the relatively near future.  All of these are listed below.
