Today you can find me at Tor.com, where I’m part of the 2013 Reviewers’ Choice listing my three favorite books of 2013. This article also contains a huge amount of great book recommendations from the rest of Tor.com’s excellent team of reviewers.

Also today, I’m over at The Booksmugglers, participating in their annual Smugglivus festivities! Rather than just doing a list of my favorite books again, I decided to focus on my favorite short story collections of the year there.

(And a quick programming note: Tor.com asked everyone to stick to 200 words or less. Being one of those people who has trouble counting to 20 in 200 words or less, this posed a challenge for me. Because of this, and because I decided to focus on just one category of books for Smugglivus, I’ll be doing a longer post about all my favorite 2013 books here on Far Beyond Reality, some time in the next week or two.)
Far Beyond Reality 
I’m vaguely curious where that photo of you was taken. It looks not far away from my mountain west homeland.
Also, I agree with at least one of your choices, as you might have guessed. 😉 Gotta pick up Hild in the near future as well.
Yeah, I just saw your review of Ancillary Justice this morning. And the picture was taken at Joshua Tree. They cropped it pretty severely – the full picture is half crazy cloud sky, very Michael Whelan-esque 🙂
