06/04/2011 City of Sorcery by Marion Zimmer Bradley
06/08/2011 SMiLE: The Story of Brian Wilson's Lost Masterpiece by Domenic Priore
06/09/2011 The Firebrand (audiobook) by Marion Zimmer Bradley
06/14/2011 Adventure in Charin (ss) by Marion Zimmer Bradley
06/19/2011 The Forest House (audiobook) by Marion Zimmer Bradley & Diana L. Paxson
06/24/2011 Under the Ivy: The Life & Music of Kate Bush by Graeme Thomson
06/30/2011 Lady of Avalon (audiobook) by Marion Zimmer Bradley & Diana L. Paxson
I still have a couple of Darkover books queued up: The Heirs of Hammerfell (The last book Marion wrote on her own) and Exile's Song (By Marion & Adrienne Martine-Barnes) Heirs of Hammerfell is not particularly well-regarded. Previous desultory attempts to read it have ended in failure; as have attempts during June. I might have to save that one for later, as well. Exile's Song is pretty good, as I recall. I read it when it was first published in the mid-90's. I'm also still working on The Fall of Atlantis - about halfway through that one.
I have to make a note about the audiobook of The Forest House. I listened to most of it with a version ripped from a 1990's book-on-tape. Whoever read that one was the WORST audiobook reader I've ever tried to listen to. It was like she thought she was reading for 6-year-olds, with lazy goggle-eyed emphasis in all the wrong places. Appalling. 3/4th of the way through, I bought the Tantor Media version released last year. Much, MUCH superior! I wound up buying the Tantor versions of 6 of the "Avalon" books, and look forward to listening to all of them. I hope they do a version of Mists, using the same reader as Forest House and Lady. That would be awesome.
The Brian Wilson and Kate Bush books were enjoyable reads. I have several Star Trek books I want to get to, too.
