Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

I just finished the first book I bought last week in London, Neil Gaiman’s book of stories, Fragile Things. And it was like coming home. I love Gaiman and I can’t believe I just discovered him last year. This book was a good collection of his (mostly award wining) stories and some poems. One story even belonged to the American Gods story arc. Great stuff and highly recommended. Five out of five stars.
