NotFriday Reads

Before I return it to the library, I just want to say how much I loved Elizabeth Bear (matociquala)'s THE WHITE CITY! Because her vampires are kinda my vampires.  She understands loneliness and time and cities.  And age.  And art.

It's part of her New Amsterdam series, and now I must go find the rest!

Right now, I am reading Elizabeth Wein's CODE NAME: VERITY.  I am in the agony of it's so good I don't want it to end so I'm doing my craziness thing of slowing down so it won't, except I know as soon as I finish it I'll go right back to the beginning and it will be even better the second time cause I know she's hiding stuff from me that will reveal itself the second time. . . . Delia got the book from the UK (because we're both huge fans of all her work) - and if I weren't a total nut I'd hurry up & finish it so she could read it so I could have someone to talk about it with!

Maybe you could, too?  It will be out in the U.S. in May.

Plus, I know perfectly well who the unnamed recruiting agent is!

That does it: I just ordered it from the UK, because I am a sucker for a British edition. And, less rationally, because I want to read it *right now* (not so rational bc it will take about a month to get here via int'l shipping. But still faster than waiting for the North American ed.)
