One of my big goals for the year was to do more reading again, so here goes a little list of what I read book-wise in the last month (let's not bother with the online reading, re-reads, or anything reading-in-progress; I do too much of that):
- Return to Me by Lynn Austin - mixed feelings
- The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult - loved
- Open Minds by Susan Kaye Quinn - liked a lot, want the next one
- Delirium by Susan Kaye Quinn - excellent; bought the whole season based on it
- Agony by Susan Kaye Quinn - slightly annoying, lots of setup, but interesting enough to keep going
- Debt Collector, Season 1, by Susan Kaye Quinn - mixed feelings, stayed interested
- Wild Seed by Octavia Butler - fascinated by it and will reread often
- Mind of My Mind by Octavia Butler - loved it at first and hated with fiery passion the ending, will never read again and try to expunge it from my memory banks
- The Drought by Allowyn Nyrti - had a hard time getting into it at first, then fell back in love
- Honor of the Queen by David Weber - as good as Basilisk and loaded with great characters on all sides, loved
- The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner - I read The Thief when I was fourteen and taking a writing course at the suggestion of my instructor. Adored the book and this follow-up just blew it out of the water.
- The Flood by Allowyn Nyrti - Sucked me right in, but I procrastinated on finishing it because I didn't want the story to end just yet. Bad me. Awesome stuff then ended on another cliffhanger. I'm getting an amicable grudge against this author.
- The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner - Not enough Gen but I loved every second of this book
- Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner - Again, amazing, if much harder to take
- The Short Victorious War by David Weber - loved
- Field of Dishonor by David Weber - wept and hated and loved
