I've been a little quiet online lately becuase I've been a whirlwind of offline interaction, but I'm looking forward to catching up and hopefully sharing one or two of my adventures.
Onto this week's reading!
What are you currently reading?
I'm back into Place of Execution
by Val McDermid. Every time I put it down and think I'm not going to
pick it up again, something else happens that draws me back in. I've also
picked up Bujold's Komarr again.
What did you recently finish reading?
I ended up not finishing The City by
Stella Gemmell after all. As I said before, there were a lot of intriguing ideas
so I wish I had been able to, but I just didn't connect with the book at all.
I've got bothing against the book, and I'll take a look when she writes her next
one.
The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. I have
to say it definitely lived up to it's hype for me. Despite some of the
POV changes making me do a double take, I think it was well written, the
characters felt real (as I suspected I was all ROBIN!, but I grew quite
fond of Strike as well as I kept reading), and I enjoyed the plot. It's billed as the
first in a series so I'm really looking forward to the next one.
Shattered Pillars
by Elizabeth Bear. I loved it. It was lyrical to read, hit so many of
my buttons, and didn't feel like the middle book in a trilogy. I don't
really have anything else to say as it really was one of those books
that just hit all the right spots for me, but I am really looking
forward to the last book in the trilogy.
What do you think you’ll read next?
I've got Laidlaw by William McIlvanney on short loan from the library so that at least.
