My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon
Yes, the girl and I man­aged a library run (to the GOOD library) on Fri­day. It took more time and energy than expected, of course, but we got a bunch of very good books.

I read My Big Fat Super­nat­ural Hon­ey­moon last night, with much gig­gling. The sto­ries were a bit uneven (nor­mal for an anthol­ogy), but worth­while overall.

I espe­cially liked “Heo­rot,” the Harry Dres­den piece from Jim Butcher. I love the way he brings in mythol­ogy from so many dif­fer­ent cultures.

Kelly Armstrong’s “Stalked” was fun, too. Her were­wolves are just more wolfish than most, in my opinion.

P.N. Elrod’s “Her Mother’s Daugh­ter” wasn’t bad at all. I’ve obvi­ously missed some of her Jack Flem­ing nov­els, and I’m look­ing for­ward to catch­ing up.

I want to find some of Mar­jorie M. Liu’s longer works, as “Where the Heart Lives” isn’t the first of her short sto­ries that have impressed me. What’s even bet­ter is that WtHL is a total depar­ture from the ear­lier sto­ries I remember.
