Books Read April 2009

Posted by Ed on 30 April 2009

Five books finished in a month may look good, by my rate anyway, but I have to point out that the Night Shade anthology was read over several months, I only finished it in April. I tend to read most anthologies this way, interpersing  their short stories with longer novels. Next month’s list will quite possibly be much shorter; I just started into Olympos, the even more lengthy sequel to Dan Simmons’ Ilium.

14. The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year Volume 2 – ed. Jonathan Strahan – 2008 – Night Shade Books
