:blink blink: There I am. Sorry about last week's wrap-up, or lack thereof. I totally forgot, but then again, I hadn't read anything either. Today's not going to be exciting, but at least it's here.
I picked up two books last week - a cozy mystery and an SF mystery. The SF mystery I read this week - jumping it ahead of books I'd downloaded before it, but it was a book 2 I'd been looking forward to reading, so there ya go. I still have four ebooks left unread - a paranormal mystery, a paranormal something or other, a cozy mystery and a suspense. I'm three books behind on my goal. :shrug: It is what it is. When I set the goal, I never dreamed I'd be working full-time again.
Books Read:
44) Last Train to Nowhere by KC Sivils (8/14/22) - SF Noir*2# - 5 stars. Not new to me, since it's a book 2, but definitely underappreciated. I paid for this one during a late-night, 'I can't sleep' bit of retail therapy - $2.99. (I know.. Big Spender, eh?)
Review: "A dark and deadly story, full of twists and turns, with just enough science to turn this noir hard-boiled crime novel into something really special. My only niggle would be that the writer eschews the use of commas on occasions where a comma is expected. :shrug: The story carried me past all that until I wasn't even noticing the missing commas anymore. Your mileage may vary, but the book is truly worth the read. "
No DNFs.
Currently reading... well, this book is kind of hard to pinpoint on genre. So I'm calling it a hard-boiled fantasy noir. It's pretty damn good so far. Man, one scene I read last night was gorgeously written. Deep and dark with imagery so poignant it made the writer in me want to weep that I hadn't thought of it first. I hope it keeps up being this awesome.
And that's it for me. What were you reading this week?
Welcome back. Glad you got some reading time this week. I was curious about the fantasy before and now you've really tweaked my interest! Okay, I need to brain to figure out where I am... 99 books, 4 ahead of schedule. I finished 2 books in the Psy-Changling Trinity series and I'm about two hours listening time from finishing a third, which then puts me into the new release at some point today or tomorrow. These books are multiple rereads and faves, as is the author. Always at least 4 stars, usually 5.
ReplyDeleteI also have two books on hold at the library but when I come up in rotation, I'm in the middle of a book so I kick them back for the next person in line. I can't really remember that they are right now. LOL Did I mention braining is difficult these days?
Anyway, that's my quick and boring update. Mostly, I'm reading/editing my own stuff to get it back out in the wild. Happy reading!
