Why start the new thread so early? May is almost three days away!
Because the last time I waited until the first someone else started panickd and started the thread on their own.
Just finished In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette, by Hampton Sides. If you like historical exploration and survival stories, this one is a doozy. Extremely well researched and written, with fascinating characters that are like something out of Robert Louis Stevenson or Herman Melville.
I started Black Heart, Ivory Bones a short story anthology edited by Terri Windling & Ellen Datlow. Basically we have a retelling of classic fairy tales. So far pretty good…
