Neptune's Treasure by Richard A. Lovett

 I have always wanted to blog about all the stuff I read, especially my science fiction. Never had the time. I still don't, but I'm going to make time for at least one book, my all time favorite science fiction story. That's the book in the title by the way. I first read the story all out of order, in an online copy of Analog Science Fiction magazine. I read "Music to Me" and did not even realize that it was part 4 of a 5 part series until Richard came out with "Defender of Worms" a few months afterwards. Neptune's Treasure is something I had wanted him to do for many years now, a collection of all five stories in one place for me to finally read the entire series in the proper order. Originally when I had contacted the author he said I could find the stories at the local library. I told him the Analog would not sell me specific backissues to me, even digitally. They apparently don't keep copies of all the stuff they publish. Boggles the mind, but maybe they just can't handle custom orders like that.

The Painter of Trees by Suzanne Palmer

What a tragic story! Man it made me sad to listen to the story of the extinction of another sentient species due to human colonization. I love the stories Suzanne Palmer makes. And I loved her first novel, Finder as well.

House of Reeds by Thomas Harlan

I bought this novel long ago from somewhere I don’t remember anymore. Maybe a Borders when it existed, or maybe from the UofA bookstore when I was graduating.

Frightful's Mountain by Jean Craighead-George

I just finished listening to this audiobook via Scribd on my way to work today. It was a good story with a happy ending, and I really liked seeing the world through a Peregrine falcon's eyes. The shift in the falcon's expected pattern in life was interesting to me, because it saved the falcon and it's legacy in numerous occasions. There is still one more book to read or listen to in this series, and this one was not written by Jean directly. It's titled Frightful's Daughter and it's a picture book from what I can tell on Goodreads. It's only 32 pages. A nice way to notch up my Goodreads reading challenge for the year. Frightful's Mountain is the first book I have finished for the new year! And the first book logged for my 50 book reading challenge for the year.
