Saturday Reading Wrap-up - 7/26/25

 Yeah, yeah, it's been a while, but then again, it's been a while since I finished a book.  Here's what's happened since last I posted a Reading Wrap-up...

I picked up one new ebook.  It's by a popular author that I've been wanting to read and when I saw he put this on sale for 99c, I snapped it up.  That one's a SF.  I also still have a YA action/adventure, a UF, and a legal thriller to read.  Yay!

Books Read:

28) The Devil's Angel by Margaret Bernard (7/26/25) - UF*# - 5 stars.  New to me and underappreciated.  Free off Amazon's Top 100 Contemporary Fantasy free list.
Review: "I really enjoyed reading this. It has an interesting premise, a thrilling plot, and intriguing characters. The end and lead-in to the next book(s) was so-so, but not enough to lose it a star. All in all a good book."
Note: Available in Audiobook.

DNFs:

7/15/25 - UF - free.  Thinking about it now, I'm pretty sure this was written by AI.  At least I hope no human writes like that.  It was pretty bad.

7/15/25 - UK thriller - free. I don't remember exactly why I DNF'd this puppy.  Lame characters, poor dialogue... something like that because the premise was good.  :shrug:

Currently reading... since I just now finished the UF, I haven't started another ebook.  I'm still working on that Hercule Poirot omnibus.  One story left to go on that, I think.

What have you been reading lately?

  1. I can't remember that far back. 😉 I've "read" 64 books so far, still 6 behind challenge. I may have to adjust again. It happens. Anyway...

    64. The Crystal Gryphon (Witch World/High Hallack Cycle), Andre Norton, fantasy. 4 stars. Nostalgic read for me. Norton was my "gateway drug" as a kid.

    63. Angles of Darkness, multi-author anthology. Para/UF. 4 stars. Two fave authors in this one. Interesting short stores set in known worlds, one set in a "side" world.

    62. Rogue Magic (Legacy #4) McKenzie Hunter, ParaRom. 4 stars. Last book in series. Got this on sale in a bundle of all 4 books. Interesting premise of supernatural beings, humans, and forbidden magic.

    61. Renegade Magic (Legacy, #3), McKenzie Hunter, ParaRom 4 stars. Same as above. The other 2 books in the series are
    Obsidian Magic (Legacy, #2) & Double-Sided Magic (Legacy, #1), also 4 stars. Not sure if I listed them before or not.

    Currently listening to ATONEMENT SKY by Nalini Singh, in her Psy/Changeling Trinity series. It's a good one.

    Happy reading!
