Finished it, loved it, a bit lighter than Hal Spacejock, but I guess when you're writing for teenagers the endings are expected to be a bit more cheerful.

In the middle of the newest John Sandford 'Virgil Flowers' book, "End Game." It's genuine Virgil!

Next up was: Why Are You Atheists So Angry? by Greta Christina. A good little book which explains things well. And now: A Step Farther Out by Jerry Pournelle. A collection of science fact articles from the early 1970s. I might abandon this is it turns out to be too dated. I got it in a bundle four years ago. Its about time I took a look! |

I've already read two chapters of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla between my readings of other books, so now I'm going to finish it. Last edited by alansplace; 10-25-2012 at 10:52 AM. Reason: oops! |

I'm reading Kate Morton's new book, The Secret Keepers. I have chronic migraines and have been having trouble getting headache-free time to read, but I'm plugging away when able.

I've just started The Case of the Backward Mule by Erle Stanley Gardner. I'll be starting chapter 7 of 22 in a moment, and so far no sighting of Perry, Della, or Paul.

I still haven't settled on what to read and have been opening, reading a little, and closing various books. Just can't seen to find anything to hold my attention yet. |

Currently reading Sweetheart by Chelsea Cain. The second in the Gretchen Lowell serial killer series, a very compelling character. |

Finished up reading (again) the entire Honor Harrington series a few days ago, and have just about finished going through the Liaden books again, and will start the new eARC in an hour or so. After that, I think I'll go with David R. Palmer's Emergence and Tracking, the sequel. No, they aren't commercially available--I made them about ten years back from my dead tree editions.

Hi there! I'm sort of adrift and looking for something interesting to listen to. How are you? We are having a hurricane right now. What book should I listen to? |

I have been listening to a lot of my pile of audio freebies lately. But, someone here got me started on the Her Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen [Mystery] series. Also, the Abby Cooper Psychic Eye series. I had the first book of each as freebie audible books and found the rest of the series at the library. Other than that I am in that mood of nothing just really sounds good or catches my attention. I have a ton of kindle freebies and I have just been flipping through them and looking to see what catches my attention. |
