castironLois McMaster Bujold, Penric's Progress. The print book collecting her novellas "Penric's Demon", "Penric and the Shaman", and "Penric's Fox". I've already read these in e (and I think I have all three of these in Subterranean Press print editions, or at least the first two), but I wanted to get a print copy that I'd be comfortable loaning to other household members, and it's nice to read all three in a swoop. I'm looking forward to Penric's Travels in May, which collects "Penric’s Mission", "Mira’s Last Dance", and "The Prisoner of Limnos"; I don't have print versions of those, and those three really need to be together in one book because they don't stand alone as well as the first three.
Suzanne Brockman, The Unsung Hero. Nth reread. A romance between a Navy SEAL and a pediatrician who'd fallen in love in high school but went their separate ways and meet many years later when the hero's recovering from a head injury and thinks he sees a presumed-dead terrorist in their small town; secondary plots involve the heroine's dying father coming to terms with his WWII service and an adorable secondary romance between the hero's niece and a comics geek. I never got into the rest of this series (the second book didn't work for me, and I never got any further), but I still enjoy this one.
On the go: Alan Smale, Clash of Eagles.
