I’ve been meaning to get around to this blog post for about half a month now. On the very off chance that anyone else but me has been waiting for it, my apologies. <\/p>\n

I went to World Fantasy at the top of November and managed somehow to not meet up with, or even pretty much say hello to, anybody. I did have dinner with my sister one evening, and got to see some of San Antonio–which I really didn’t get to do the last time I was there<\/a>–so that was nice. And the con itself was pretty good, some good readings and mostly good panels. Otherwise, though, November was a fairly uneventful month, Thanksgiving notwithstanding. I read some books<\/a> and some stories<\/a>, saw some movies<\/a>, and listened to some music<\/a>. My usual.<\/p>\n

The books<\/a><\/p>\n

I finished two books in November. The first, Mongrels<\/i> by Stephen Graham Jones:<\/p>\n

People say werewolves are animals, but they’re wrong. We’re so much worse. We’re people, but with claws, with teeth, with lungs that can go for two days, legs that can eat up counties.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The second, The Stone Sky<\/i> by N.K. Jemisin:<\/p>\n

But for a society built on exploitation, there is no greater threat than having no one left to oppress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I liked them both.<\/p>\n

The stories<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not entirely sure how many I read in November. I kept records of twenty-seven, but I’m not always good about keeping those records and forgetful, sometimes, of even the good ones. Anyhow, the good ones that I remember:<\/p>\n
