My good friend (and one of my favorite librarians) Stephanie Anderson has a really entertaining tumblr called Bookavore. She's also one of the best people to get book recommendations from because she reads EVERYTHING and has impeccable taste!
Today she posted a book recommendation for the new Nicola Griffith novel, Hild. She describes it as a must-have for anyone who likes "Game of Thrones but wish GRRM could have kept his characters from describing someone as a whore every few pages."Among other reasons, of course.
Hild comes out in November. Sounds like a good book to bring along with you on that long trek home for Thanksgiving. And while your family members get engaged in tense family drama or arguments over sporting events, you can disappear into a quiet corner away from it all and get lost in the words of one of the finer science fiction writers working today. Sounds like the perfect way to spend the holiday.
Happy reading, Geeks!
