snugglekittyYesterday I finished Dogsbody by Diana Wynne Jones. Somehow I had missed reading this book as a child and teenager. No explanation. It was okay but not great. Three stars. If you like dogs a lot, you'll probably like it more than I did.
Today I finished Winter Rose by Patricia McKillip. I don't know whether I had read it before - much of it seemed unfamiliar, but I recognized one of the central images. Anyway, I read (or reread) it so I could read Solsticd Wood, the sequel. I liked it well enough. Three stars.
Finally, today I also read Inside Job by Connie Willis.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chienne_folle once told me that Willis writes only madcap romances and books about death. As far as I can tell, this is true. Anyway, this book was incredibly funny. If you like HL Mencken, you should read it. It even made me want to try reading a biography of him, and biographies don't do it for me. Four stars.
