So, you may have guessed what I read over the weekend. I enjoyed it. But then, Vimes is my favorite. Not that I would object to another Witches or Death installment.

I started Anansi Boys, and have Son of a Witch in the queueueueueueue.

It's a .gov holiday today, so we're not terribly busy, and traffic was non-existant. Always fun, that.

Anansi Boys... that's what I forgot to get. Though I guess part of me is hoping that the longer I go before picking it up, the more the totally spoiler-ific reviews at amazon.com will go out of my brain.

So what's Son of a Witch?

The follow on to Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, which is a damned fine book. I've also read Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister which is Macguire retelling Cinderella from another angle. It's much different than Wicked..., and not quite as strong a book, but still a good read, and I suspect that those with a different preference in style or content would rate them the other way around. The writing is solid and the story well done in both, I just prefer Wicked over Confessions.
