Sunday Salon: May Reading Reflections

I am actually spending all this weekend at Continuum8 which is also the 51st Australian National SF Convention so this post is just going to brief....kind of.

Here's what I read during May:

Legacy by Susan Kay 5/5

The Long Shadow by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles 4/5
Eric by Terry Pratchett 4/5

I am continuing to add books to the Aussie Author Challenge, Australian Women Writer's Challenge and Historical Fiction Reading Challenge even though I have technically completed all of those challenges.

Grace and Glory and a Home for Grace along with Hot Island Nights, Her Best Worst Mistake, The Sweet Life and Letty on the Land all count for the Australian Women Writer's Challenge and the Aussie Author Challenge with The Red Spice Road Cookbook counting only for the latter.

For the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge I read The Shoemaker's Wife, Grace and Glory, Legacy, The Queen's Love, The Unseen, Clara and Mr Tiffany, Letty and the Strangers Lace, Letty on the Land, Lords of the White Castle, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag and The Long Shadow. Phew, that's not bad for one month.

Eric and Fables 1 counted for the Once Upon a Time challenge and The Shoemaker's Wife for the War Through the Generations challenge.

I really need to find some books to read for the What's in a Name Challenge!

So, there we have my May reads! Hopefully I will be able to do a couple of posts about Continuum in the next few days, or at least for next week's Sunday Salon post.
