Ha. My solo review says exactly this; I was totally lured in by the subtitle. Anyone can swear. To do it well and artfully is another thing altogether. Harrington is a winning swearer in my book. Hope you enjoy it if you dig in!

My only complaint about Mars is that perhaps is was a little too meticulously researched (as in there are so many day to day details included that, at times, it felt like the author had a list of facts she learned and was checking them off one by one as she worked them into the novel). Overall, it was one of my favorite may books (Come West and See was also a weird, rather spectacular short story collection).

I think Amateur Hour must be read simply because of the subtitle.

Already reading How It Happened, Erin. So far, so good.

Sedaris is always funny, PCN.

I have been so torn on MARS, but now that Rory recommends it, I’m definitely leaning towards at least giving it a go.

Ditto on the Koryta, who I had kind of given up on (sorry, Michael!) since the mystical is not my jam. I get the sense this one is more similar to his series work, which I ADORE.

Sensing a theme, I also had no inclination to pick up HE, but Mr. PCN has now talked me into it.

Damn you all, I don’t have time for these shenanigans.
