Paper TBR list: 60

So I've actually cut down my paper TBR by four already, which is a great head start! I only actually read three of those books, though; the other is the sequel to Wings, which I decided not to read, as I didn't like the first book that much.

As always, if you've read or want to read any of these books, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Young Miles! The Vorkosiverse! How are you enjoying? I love the whole 'verse, but there's at least one of the early novels I didn't make it though because Miles hit my embarrassment squick so hard. But I love them and they just keep getting better IMO. Though the early books (Young Miles particularly) can be exhausting to read, just trying to keep up with Miles. Forward momentum.

I LOVED Cordelia's Honor, so Young Miles suffered a bit for lack of Cordelia. Also, because there were a couple of places, especially at the beginning of The Vor Game, when I thought he was being a colossal idiot. But mostly he's a lot of fun! I have the next two omnibuses on hold at the library. Miles can be really hard to keep up with XD
