What are you reading Wednesday?

Today I am mostly reading Bitten by Kelley Armstrong. Pull quote (from Daily Express review) on back 'Makes Buffy look fluffy' gives the right impression - cute blonde girl with troubled past takes on supernaturals. It's a nice look at werewolf politics with a light touch, a brain candy urban fantasy perfect for curling up with and not thinking too hard.

I paused on Ancillary Sword for no other reason than I was going away and wanted a paper book rather than electronic. It's OK, but now I've remembered who Justice of Toren reminds me of, I want to go and read that instead. It is The Ship Who Sang, which I recommend to everyone who shows the slightest interest in AI books (although actually she's a cyborg); I think McCaffrey's SF is much better than her fantasy, much as I loved Pern as a child I'm not eager to return.

I loved TSWS very much as a child, and there were several co-written sequels which I liked in varying amounts, but I haven't reread it since becoming more aware of disability issues.

"wolf in chic clothing" is hilarious! (I was working my way through Kelley Armstrong books from the library a few years ago; I should get back to that)
