An excellent collection this year, with some real gems in there. And the usual percentage of duds as well, of course.

Keeping with the short story theme, I bought Deeds of Honor, a collection of Paksenarrion world short stories (none of which actually include Paks herself). These were good, but not great with a couple of exceptions -- Ms. Moon is a better novel writer than short story writer, IMO.
Ah - another couple of books to add to my TBR. Tomorrow, that is. For now I have a pleasing reduction in my TBR from 800 to 750, and I'm not going to upset that this late in the year. Also, I have less than $2 of my 2014 book buying budget left!
