13) The Golden Compass - Philip Pullman
14) The Subtle Knife - Philip Pullman
15) Dealing in Futures - Joe Haldeman
I just finished the final page of Dealing in Futures, a collection of short stories with ramblings in between that link the genesis of that last story with that of the next. That was my favorite part - invigorating to read. :) The stories - well, I think none were bad, really, and some were quite compelling, but I'm not a fan of short story collections. By the time I get to the end my impressions are all muddled. The final poem, The Death of Saul, had slash potential. :)
Now I'll be starting the last of the Philip Pullman series, The Amber Spyglass. :)
Bah, I just figured it out that I'm two weeks behind on the book-a-week thing, as this is week 17. Short stories slow me down SO much. There's just no pull to keep reading. In between stories I take long breaks. The connecting essay idea did help with that, though.
