A community for all things related to Books.
I barely got any reading done this past week, so I'm still on Stargazy Pie by Victoria Goddard. The tone and overall story so far remind me a bit of the Cemeteries of Amalo series by Katherine Addison, which is a pleasant surprise.
It's been a pleasure to work on book bingo with Dresden and Jaymes; hope you'll all find it a worthy addition to the community!
The Insider by Matthew Richardson. Love a good spy novel. And this is very good.
Haven't read a good spy novel lately, will check it out.
Madly Deeply: The Alan Rickman Diaries.
I'm still slowly making my way through the second Gears of War book. They aren't exactly the pinnacle of literature, but I'm finding them better written than I was expecting. Karen Travis does a good job at fleshing out characters the games kind of sideline.
After I finish this one (whenever that will be) I'll likely try and start Hyperion again. For some reason I just haven't stuck with it
I remember thinking similarly about the old X-Wing Rogue Squadron books by Michael Stackpole. Sometimes we get really lucky with those add on properties.
I started "How I killed Pluto, and why it had it coming" by Mike Brown on Friday. With the hopefully imminent discovery of the real 9th planet in the news I'm doing a lot of day dreaming about space these days
Poor Pluto, it could've been a great planet, if given a chance...
I am still reading Three Days to Never by Tim Powers.
Have been pretty busy with real life, so haven't gotten around to doing much reading these past couple of weeks. Have a long list of books lined up after it, so hopefully will get some time over the coming the weekend.
Edit: Can't wait for the Bingo post!
'The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine' by Ilan Pappe.
