The Kindle Books and Resources List

Any opinion on it? His recommendations are sometimes scary.

Full disclosure - this is the first time I heard about Delany. But Gaiman was effusive.

[Impenitent]

I took a punt on Delany because of the list price reduction ... and because if you the multiple nebula awards and 5 star rating.

We shall see.

The Gutter Prayer by Gareth Hanrahan is on sale for 99c today. Really cracking fantasy, very original. Highly recommended!

[Impenitent]

Price back up to Aus$8. Downloaded a sample and will doubtless buy it when I get to the end of the 80 pages.

[Inanna]

Gripping. Thank you, Al.

Cheers. Not yet convinced by the second book, but I haven't had much time for reading.

Thoughts on "The Gutter Prayer"?

[Inanna]

Read both the books. I loved them. Absolutely loved them. Hoping for more in this series.

I loved the language, and how phrases meant more when looked at deeper. “Kept” Gods being a prime example.

IMO, The first one was better than the second. But that’s also because the number of characters naturally increases as the saga grows, and I personally like them in a manageable number (just like my friends. ).

[Impenitent]

Have not yet got to it, Al; I have a waiting list of books, and I'm in the middle of an author - must finish the series I'm on.

Which one, Imp?

I’m looking to start one.

[Impenitent]

Inanna, I suspect you won't take to it, but it's the Lady Sherlock series by Sherry Thomas. Set during the same period as the original Sherlock, it's a very clever reinterpretation of Sherlock Holmes. The mysteries are intriguing and the characterisations are inspired and the lead persona dramatis ate turned on their heads: Sherlock and Watson are women.

Charlotte Holmes is a vivid and convincing literary creation, and Thomas uses her brilliantly to illustrate how constrained and oppressed women were in that society.

But...not sure that this historical mystery romance is a genre you enjoy.

Actually, I love historical mystery genre. I love outlander, for example.

I’ll give it a try!

[Impenitent]

In that case, you will enjoy! Very well written.

Bought the series! Thanks!

Loving the series, Imp. Have read book 1, and almost Book 2. Which doesn’t surprise me at all - I don’t think there’s any recommendation of yours I haven’t loved. Yours and Prim’s. Frelga, too, except for her Marvel obsession.
