a medicine for melancholy
Sep. 3rd, 2014 07:03 pmI've been feeling a bit melancholy today and my choice of medicine was to either sip some Green Fairy, or go buy a book. I chose the latter and came back with not one but *two* books. One is Seanan McGuire's "Winter Long", an October Daye novel released this week. The other is the first volume in David Mack's "Star Trek: Seekers" series. It's been decades since I bought an ST novel, but I liked what Mack said when a fan criticized him for having homosexual characters in another ST novel. Also this novel's cover design was a clear homage to James Blish's novelizations of the original episodes, and this lifted my spirits without my imbibing any spirit.
