The Books I Read - May 2024

May felt like a lot of different months and it feels like ages since I started reading Carola Dunn's Daisy Dalrimple books or since I was reading Kings of the Wyld. The Daisy mysteries are fun and the supporting cast really sells them for me. They do seem a little draggy in overall plot. Kings of the Wyld was interesting and felt like it was playing with a lot of the 70s and 80s fantasy tropes.

I also wrote up a thing on the tools I'm using to generate the tables in the post. I'm making some progress on updating games the same way, I'd hope to have that ready by now, but it shouldn't be before long.

Word cloud of the authors I read in May. Carola Dunn is very large in the middle, sandwiched between Bowles, Burns, Hixson, Jenness, Tellers, Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Nicholas Eames and T. Kingfisher above and Tomohito Oda, Shonda Rhimes, Oliver Burkeman and Andrea Penrose below. Penrose is about half the size of Dunn and Eames is slightly bigger than the others.May 2024 Author Cloud
