Books I've Read

Serge Storms, #24. A bit of touching and inspirational religious stuff that made me tear up a bit, amongst the usual shenanigans of Serge and Coleman.

Serge Storms, #14. It's Christmas time in Florida. Will there be any snow this year?

Ted and sister Kate try to figure out how their cousin Salim disappeared from the London Eye "Ferris" sort-of-wheel. EDIT--There was no Read date, don't know when I read it!

Third grader Mac is allergic to purple, loves science, and is too old for dinosaurs.

Jamie's brother enlists in the Army, to the objections of their officer father, as a medic and is sent to Vietnam. She volunteers at the base rec center and learns to develop and print the photographic film he sends home to her.

Sixth-grade Kate is learning about romance, and best friends, and ex-best friends. I really enjoyed this book!

A whole bunch of stories (37), edited by Dozois, which I cannnot imagine how one pronounces, that were mostly pretty good, some excellent, and a couple I didn't care for. I think my favorite was Even The Queen, by Connie Willis. I remember I read a story of hers in Galileo twenty years ago, and was charmed by it.

Eight stories pub. in 1976 selected by Dozois. John Varleys "Air Raid" Ive read before, it is mind-blowing. "Custer's Last Jump" by Utley and Waldrop goes on a bit, but it's pretty good. Michel Bishops "The Samurai And The Willows" was kinda sad on a very depressing weekend.

Thirteen novellas by various authors. A couple of them I liked a whole bunch. Beggars In Spain, by Nancy Kress, was pretty darn good.

Edited with Johnathan Strahan. Nineteen stories, most of which are too esoteric for my plebeian tastes. My favorites was the Scalzi, but I may be prejudiced.

This is book number seven but the first RCN book I've read, but the characters' names seem very familiar. Especially Lt. Vesey. I can't explain it.

Dedicated to Manly Wade Wellman, this book of "Appalachian fantasy" is very much like Wellman's Silver John stories. I loved those, I love this.

Book number five in the Lt. Leary/RCN series. Pellegrino invades Dunbar's World, Leary and company intervene.

A space ,liner is caught up in an interplanetary war. I enjoyed reading the adventure. I read the Baen Free Books e-book edition.

A collection of stories about the tank mercenaries of outer space. Lots of tank action.

Several stories about Hammer's Slammers, the tank mercenaries in the future. Good read, of its kind. I've read several of this series, so I guess I like it! EDIT: I forgot to mention that I feel the author's Afterword is very interesting and important to read.

Daniel Leary finds a plot at Zenobia. Eighth book in the series

Lt. Leary series #1. A librarian on a planet ends up helping Lt. Leary during revolution/planetary invasion. I enjoyed it very much.

An African girl is kidnapped by slavers and hauled off to the Carolinas, ends up being purchased as a gift for the master's son. Eventually she escapes to Spanish Florida.

High school teen wants to join an exclusive club, hazing leads to tragic end. A cautionary tale. Depressing, too.
