Here's what I finished in November.The Fall of Babel ★★★★
Certain Dark Things ★★★
Blackmail and Bibingka ★★★★
I finished a couple books. First was Rule of Wolves. Apart from an unnecessary plot point that made me mad, I still enjoyed this duology.And I finished Arrow's Flight. Almost nothing happened really, but I did end up liking it. I'm on book three now: Arrow's Fall.
I finished Farilane by Michael J. Sullivan. It was so good, but I definitely wasn't expecting that ending. Now I'm reading Bellwether by Connie Willis. Was in the mood for sci-fi.
Search links aren't working today. :/
Happy New Year! This is what I read in December.Rule of Wolves ★★★★
Arrow's Flight ★★★★
Farilane ★★★★★
I just finished Bellwether. It made more sense towards the end, but I still didn't really like it.Now I'm starting The Lost Metal.
I read K.B. Wagers' Beyond the Empire (third in her Indranan War trilogy) in the space of about 48 hours and started Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, which I expect will take quite a bit longer.
I finished Arrow's Fall. This book got really dark. Some things weren't handled well. I don't know that it was the best wrap up to the trilogy, but I'd still try more Valdemar books.Now I've started Lost in the Moment and Found.
Currently reading The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon.
I just finished Lost in the Moment and Found. I thought it was one of the better Wayward Children books. I liked it.Starting The Ballad of Black Tom now.
Here's what I finished in January. A bit of a meh month I guess, with one good book.Bellwether ★★
Arrow's Fall ★★★
Lost in the Moment and Found ★★★★
Finished Warriors and started horror collection In a Lonely Place by Karl Edward Wagner, back in print for the first time in almost 40 years.
I finished The Lost Metal last night. It was really good and a nice wrap up to the series.Just started The Windup Girl. It's something I've been wanting to read for a while now.
And I guess I'm just in a short story collection mood -- next up is The Big Book of Swashbuckling Adventure: Classic Tales of Dashing Heroes, Dastardly Villains, and Daring Escapes, edited by Lawrence Ellsworth.
I finished The Ballad of Black Tom. Good Lovecraftian story told through the lens of racial prejudice. I'm in a random mood, so reading a random obscure animal fantasy called The Blood Jaguar.
Reading The Fires of Heaven, these Wheel of Time books have a lot of problems, but it is fun reading along with friends and discuss them.
My February:Warriors ★★★★
In a Lonely Place ★★★★
The Big Book of Swashbuckling Adventure: Classic Tales of Dashing Heroes, Dastardly Villains, and Daring Escapes ★★★★
Aztec Autumn ★★★★
Swallow: A Tale of the Great Trek ★★★
A good month!
I finished The Windup Girl, but I didn't like it.I'm feeling pretty slumpish and wanting a book I'll love. Maybe Babel, Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution will be that book.
