The best books you never read
The best books you never read rated it 10 years ago
Now I picked up this book way back when it came out in 1996 , but I recently decided I needed to re-read my older books. This lovely anthology is a collection of tales with the theme of music. Everything from fantasy, horror, science fiction, post apocalyptic and more. Some of the greatest voices ...

This is a collection of fantasy Christmas tales from New Zealand writers. Some are fluffy, some not so fluffy, all are pretty much good. Come and celebrate Christmas with Dragons, or watch a fairy teach a child an important listen. What happens when you try to arrest Rudolph? Read and find out. Fo...

This is one of my favourites in the Escarp cycle, despite the first part being very rushed. A lot of ground has to be covered, and it's a bit unsatisfying. The language is very different from the other books, which was a bit jarring at first. But the book tied up loose knots in a satisfactory manner...

I would have loved this when I was fourteen, as I voraciously read my way through Pern and Witch World. Keplian follows the standard story of the young woman marginalized by society because of her differences. The plot hinges on her discovering those differences give her access into a new world/powe...

I've never read any Witch World books, or anything of Andre Norton's, to be honest, so when my friend chose The Key of the Keplian for her group's book of the month, I agreed to read it and participate in the discussion. Unfortunately, I can't say that I enjoyed it much. I wanted to like it much mor...

Note: I read this book as a group read. I am not sure I would have tried to jump into a series such as this in any other fashion.Trying to determine what to read next so I downloaded the sample for this book. The sample ends on, "Far Traveler would not have sent her to die. . . . With the hovering m...

Ten volumes into my epic re-read of the Witch World novels, I've got to say I'm pretty happy to be doing it. I hadn't previously read all of the novels (and I'm still not sure I'll be able to lay my hands on every one of them - I've managed to track down 27 of, I think, 28), but I must have read hal...

I feel bad about giving this book one star, but I've decided not to finish it. That very rarely happens. But... it's been over a week, I'm over half-way through, and I keep picking up other books instead. I don't find myself even minutely caring what happens to any of the characters. I can barely pi...

A collection of stories, both fantasy and science fiction, that in some way revolve around music. Just 'eh' - none that really got my interest.
