Books of 2018- Installment #23

111. A Thousand Beginnings and Endings edited by Ellen Oh & Elsie Chapman
This is a collection of short stories that take Asian myths and/or folklore as their inspiration. This anthology has authors I love and new favorites for me!!

112. Neil Gaiman's A Study in Emerald by Neil Gaiman, Rafael Alburquerque, Rafael Scavone, & Dave Stewart
This is a short little graphic novel set in the Sherlock Holmes world. I don't really read graphic novels or Sherlock Holmes stories, but my students love both so this seemed a good one to check out. It did a really nice job of being engaging, new, and surprising.

113. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
I hadn't really heard of this book until my friend mailed it to me. Then suddenly I heard about it in a bunch of different places. There's a word for that, but I've forgotten it. This is a book that is quite unlike most books. It's a labyrinth. It's a book within a book. Or rather a tome within a tome, possibly a tomb inside a tome. And it's utterly fascinating!

114. The Fated Sky by Mary Robinette Kowal
My last book of 2018! A fantastic ending to the year! This is the follow-up to The Calculated Stars and that book was so good, I decided to put a hold on this book immediately after I finished The Calculated Stars. So good!! So good!!
