Rated Mistake 6/10

<i>Mistake</i> very much mimics the chaos of a noisy brain attempting to process some major life event.It's a volume I will likely reread once more, as now I feel compelled to better understand. Even flipping through for the purpose of reviewing, after reading it twice, I already notice more about what is happening on the page. I wouldn't say I loved <i>Mistake</i>, but I liked the challenge, and anything that makes me want to revisit it is probably a good thing. Students of poetry, I would certainly recommend doing the same.<br><br>(My full review appears on <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2012/12/mistake-by-meredith-stricker.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)

Rated Moonflower, Nightshade, All the Hours of the Day 8/10

I liked this, but especially the second to last (and the longest) story, set in a mall-as-civilization with magic.

Rated Mind of my mind by Octavia E Butler 8/10

<div>Not quite as strong as Wild Seed, but in reading the reviews, I see that this series was not published in story-chronological order, which is how I'm reading it. I imagine the particulars of this world/premise were better fleshed out in Butler's head by the time she got to Wild Seed (which was excellent). That said, this is still a very good book, and I'll definitely be continuing on with the series. Not to spoil the ending, but it will be interesting to see how this version of humanity progresses in the next installment.</div>
