So a lot of my reading time goes into mstuff that's hard to list for one reason or another and it looks like I don't read as much as I do. But I'm finishing up <i>A Natural History of Dragons</i> now and I'm going to read <i>The Tropic of Serpents</i> which is the sequel. They're by Marie Brennan, who has also written other things including a series of stories about an American magic college. These books purport to be the memoirs of a secondaary-world lady naturalist of a time and place sort of rather like Darwin's. She talkks about issues of gender and class and nationality among the stories of sheer wonder and adventure. hey're my daughter's books and they are perfect for her, and I only wish I had discovered them when she was a child because I would have been so excited to give them to her.

I have another one coming out

Lookity, my lesbian mechanics carjack their way into a revoultionary alternate universe book is up for pre-order!
