I loved The Vor Game. The whole Vorkosigan Saga, in fact. But that's the one I started with and it was a hugely fun read.

I decided to read the series in chronological order, so this is my 4th, I think. I've really been enjoying them so far. I think Vor Game is supposed to be one of the best, so I'm looking forward to it!

I've also just decided to go ahead and start from scratch... that'll make it more fun. :D

Last call for Alphabet Soup in 2016!

I'm not gonna make it! Just a couple shy...

I am desperately trying! 5 books to go...it's not looking great

Don't stress it, Amanda. Celebrate the 21 that you read!

Excellent advice, Renee! I'm excited to try again for 2017!
