Sirius and I are over at Dear Author with a joint review of Inversion Point by Kelly Jensen and Jenn Burke. Solid entry into the series. I enjoyed it better than the previous installment.

All Seated On the Ground by Connie Willis – B I saw this short story mentioned in a thread where posters were saying it was the best of Connie Willis’ short stories so I looked it up. I couldn’t buy the story on its own because geo restrictions, but I found it was available in a library book as part of The Best of Connie Willis and placed a hold so I could read the story.
Meg Yates is a humour columnist who unexpectedly finds herself on a committee trying to communicate with the six Altairi aliens who arrived on the doorsteps of Denver University nine months before. Many experts before her and on the current committee have failed to find a way to break through the Atairi glare of disdain before her but her particular history and a chance encounter with some Christmas music and choir director lead to a breakthrough.

I’m over at Dear Author with Sirius today. We’re reviewing Skip Trace by Kelly Jensen and Jenn Burke. The first half was kind of meh for me but the action really picked up in the second half and saved the book from being a wash.
Why I read it: Mistress M and Michele Mills told me I had to urged me to read this one.
What it’s about: (from Goodreads) You’d think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you’d be wrong. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they’ve left their cargo of human women – including me – on an ice planet.
And the only native inhabitant I’ve met? He’s big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me…
What worked for me (and what didn’t): Some of my friends have really enjoyed the barbarian/alien SFF erotic romances by Ruby Dixon. Originally released as serials, those of us who need instant gratification can now buy them complete.
Florida girl, Georgie, 22, has been abducted by little green men. There are some other kind of aliens on board who serve as prison guards and they are particularly not nice (trigger warning: rape). Georgie is one of 11 other girls (6 of whom are in stasis) “collected” by the green aliens for sale. The girls have little information but they are not looking forward to whatever will happen next. When the spaceship they are on suffers a malfunction, the green aliens dump the pod where the girls are held on an ice planet (which they nickname “Not-Hoth”. Heh) and that is where Georgie meets her big blue horned alien, Vektal. Continue reading
