alpharaposaI was feeling grumpy yesterday. The cub took a while to settle in bed, and by the time I got him settled, I didn't feel like doing anything else around the house. So, I pondered reading something and remembered ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
haikujaguar's review of Quarter Share by Nathan Lowell.
So I looked it up, bought it, and started reading. At the beginning, I was still feeling grumpy and wondering if I really wanted to read science fiction in that mood (and not, say, Tarzan stories). By the time I decided that I really ought to go to sleep because it was almost 10 o'clock, I was up to chapter 16. It was actually an effort not to immediately turn around and finish reading it.
I haven't finished the book and I'm recommending it.haikujaguar is right; it's a coming-of-age story that's wonderfully wholesome. There are a few odd commas or one or two run-on sentences (the perils of self-publishing!), but not enough to break the flow even for a twitchy grammarian like myself.
It is available as an ebook, not in paper. You can also download it as a free audiobook here: http://www.podiobooks.com/title/quarter-share. So, if you have a Kindle app or like listening to your novels, this one is a good choice.
(I can't believe I don't have a "reading" icon! How did I overlook that?)
