Re: I'm kinda supposed to wait until mid-August... Aeryn Send a noteboard - 24/07/2010 01:25:17 AM
But since I don't make the final list, these were the ones I suggested:

Saladin Ahmed, "Hooves and the Hovel of Abdel Jameela"

Kelly Barnhill, "Open the Door and the Light Pours Through"

Leah Bobet, "Six"

Catherynne M. Valente, "The Secret History of Mirrors"


And I easily could have chosen another 2-3, if I recall.


I didn't read all the stories, and I think most of these I either didn't read or don't remember.

The ones that I enjoyed the most were:

Marie Brennan, "Once a Goddess"

Ian McHugh, "Angel Dust"

Mary Robinette Kowal, "At the Edge of Dying"

Gemma Files and Stephen J. Barringer, "each thing i show you is a piece of my death"

Granted I haven't yet read the Saladin Ahmed story. By the way - a piece of news - he just sold a trilogy to DAW.

Intersting how out of 15 stories, two people can pick four stories each with no overlap. I'm curious which you'd like best from volume 3. I liked almost everything, but if I had to pick it'd go in this order:

Narayan, Truslow, Schneyer, Bruce, Cooney, Kornher-Stace

Although I'm yet to read the stories by John Grant and Tanith Lee, and John Grant's was a surprise favorite of volume 1.
