Out of Hibernation

[calissa]

Now that spring is well and truly underway, the Earl Grey Editing blog is coming out of hibernation. Posts resume as usual this week, with a review of Peter S. Beagle’s Summerlong tomorrow. On Friday I’ll be checking in with my schedule for Conflux… which starts in a week! I’m really looking forward to it.

My spring break was lovely. I got to spend some time with my family, took some photos of the flowers rioting in the area and (of course) managed to read a ton of books. I even ended up pushing back my return for an extra day so I could take a trip to the beach.

It hasn’t been all play, though. I’ve been busy behind the scenes. Earl Grey Editing now has a page for my review policy and one listing reviews by title. A page for reviews by author is still underway.

How about you? What’s your part of the world look like right now? Have you read any good books recently?

Oh, I've been meaning to track down Radiance. Are you enjoying it, even if it's harder to get through?

The writing is incredible - but it's like.... Have you seen 2001: A Space Odyssey? It's a bit like that - brilliant, but slow, a bit distant - it's breathtaking but not emotionally engaging? Like I want to finish reading it, but it's because I feel like I should be enjoying it more than I am because it's *excellent* but not *satisfying* the way falling into an amazing story with endearing characters is.

Sounds like something I might struggle with, too. I almost put down Ancillary Justice because the first half was like that.

Yeah I found the same - but I think that if I were to go back and reread now I'd find it much easier.
