June Reading List:
Brown Girl in the Ring - Nalo Hopkinson - 5 stars - LGBT/MasterWorks/WoGF
Darker Than You Think - Jack Williamson - 4 stars - GrandMaster/MW/Fantasia
Little Brother - Cory Doctorow - 5 stars - 12 Awards
Shadow of the Torturer - Gene Wolfe - 4 stars - GM/F/The Number of the Counting Shall be 3
The Cold Commands - Richark K. Morgan - 3 stars - LGBT/F/3/I Just Have to Read...
The Stainless Steel Rat - Harry Harrison - 4 stars - GM

also read The Hobbit for book club. 5 stars of course.

The Cold Commands was a disappointment.  Sequel slump.  I'm hoping the third in the trilogy picks up.

My partner convinced me to read Little Brother, so decided to add 12 Awards in 12 Months. That way I could also include two more of the Gene Wolfe New Sun tetrology. That makes a trilogy, so I added The Number of the Counting Shall be 3. By adding those two challenges, I added 8 physical books to my list for the year. I now need 23 to finish (37 virtual books).

The stats:
I Just Have to Read... 12/12
Grand Master 6/12
LGBT 8/12
MasterWorks 7/12
WoGF 9/12
2nd Best 8/12
Fantasia 11/12
Elizabeth Noun 1/3
12 Awards in 12 Months 5/12
The Number ...3 4/9
