After reading GeneralBattuta's Honor Harrington fanfic, recc'd by r/rational once upon a time, and after meeting some members of The Royal Manticoran Navy organized fandom at Worldcons and NASFiCs, I decided that it might finally be time to read the books.

I went to my local library, checked out the first book, read it, enjoyed it, and returned it.

I went to my local library, checked out the second book, read it, enjoyed it, requested the third, and returned the second.

I went to my local library, picked up the third book, read it, enjoyed it, and went to reserve the fourth book

My library doesn't have the fourth book in print. No inter-library loan in the state has the fourth book.

Hearing my grumbling about the proprietary DRMed ebook systems, a friend whispered:

You can get most of the Honor Harrington series, and other books, from CDs that the books' publisher, Baen, released under a permissive license. These CDs have the Honor Harrington books, and many others besides, in .lit, .doc, .prc, .rtf, and .html formats!

So I downloaded the relevant CD's files as a zip, unzipped, plugged the RTF into Calibre and converted it to an ePub, tossed it to my phone with KDE Connect, opened it in Moon Reader, and ...

wait what how has it been nine hours where did the day go how have I finished this novel already

What will Honor do next? The next book is on that same disc....

Made some teeny tiny books for my mom ☺️

There’s two one shots for the five book series. The five book series with at least three active conspiracy groups, several timeskips, characters that died before the main character could meet them and still get referenced five books in, an offscreen murder investigation on an under-explored planet, and tele-empathic six legged alien cats. The two one shots don’t even feature the series’s main characters.

I am so disappointed.

Going from Chapter One of On Basilisk Station to Chapter One of The Warrior’s Apprentice is hilarious

Honor is so formal and pleasant, and Miles is a total shit and loves it

@shinningassulthopper , kvetching to me about Echoes of Honor: "...and after being stuck on a godforsaken planet, it doesn't even cross her mind that her family might think she's dead?!"

Me: "Well, her name is Honor, not Reason."

love when novels have a recurring catchphrase
