May 2006 Welcome to the May 2006 edition of the Imaginary Word! I am glad to bring you my suggested reading list in the form I have become accustomed to. It seems that it's taken me a full five months to adjust to my pregnancy but, with the assistance of an iron supplement and a cooperative kickboxing baby, I will actually be able to do this right - at least until August. I hope you enjoy your reading and wandering this month. I certainly have. Don't forget to stop by the IW Forums - discuss what you are reading online and get to know your fellow readers. Also - I was curious a bit so I set up a Frappr for the IW. If you happen to feel the urge - pop in and log your location. This being May, I am going to start asking for help for August and September. Stop by theForum - give me your suggestions as to what I should do or indicate your interest in perhaps taking over my pet project for a month. Enough of my ramblings. On to the real heart of the Imaginary Word - the suggested reading list for the month of May. Enjoy! I really am glad to be back! ~~~~~ Appetizers The Private Eucharist - Michelle McGrane - Poetry Fish ~*~ Soup & Salad Two weeks after the shadow - Rachel Swirsky - Antimuse ~*~ Main Course The Enemy's Scent - Barbara Zimmermann - R-KV-R-Y ~*~ Chef's Special Hekaba's Demon - Sarah Prineas - Lone Star Stories ~*~ Dessert Photo byManny Librodo - Lily ~*~ Coffee From Someone Else's Recommendations Fiction: Rent-an-Angel - Jane Lebak - Dragons, Knights, and Angels ~*~ Lignappe For Trekkies...

The Imaginary Word is also sponsored by Totally Novel: "You should have seen the way they cried out for blood. I frequent the boards at a popular SF&F magazine, and the occasional spam left by self-published authors trying to sell their books always provoked drastic responses. For me, it signaled a sparsity of opportunities for independant writers to market their books. Totally Novel is trying to change that." - Wade Ogletree, Founder of Totally Novel.
