Yes, I feel the same, though occasionally do go straight to the next in a series (I'm currently doing that with the Repairman Jack series, only on audiobook rather than reading). Anyway, I have started Doughnut by Tom Holt, which is looking like it's going to be the usual blend of humour and fantasy - good fun.

Next up: Ghosts of Time by Steve White. A continuation of his interesting series about time travel. A recent Baen book release bought from Kobo with a good coupon. |

Richard Russo
Just a couple months ago I read Empire Falls by Richard Russo. Great read. And it's always nice to discover an author who has been around for a while because then you've got a catalog of work to read! So I just picked up Straight Man, which is about 15 years old. I'm about half way through and it's another great read. Having his way with the world of academia and doing it brilliantly.

I finished Written in my Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon this week. It didn't disappoint, this is still my favourite series. The only disappointment is that the next one won't be out for another three years. |

Just finished The Confessor by Daniel Silva and it was a smashing read with a very wild ending!

I haven't kept up with this thread but recently read books are:
* Mom and Me and Mom by Maya Angelou, which I liked but not as much as other books by her. * These Things Hidden by Heather Gudenkauf, which I disliked. I don't know why I finished it, as I abandon books I don't like regularly, but this one got worse and worse as it went and then ended with a silly and completely unbeleivable fit of melodrama, so the move to 1-star status was very late. * The Vanshing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell, which I loved, although I was a bit disappointed by the ending. * Eleanor and Park by Ranbow Rowell, a YA book I really liked that had a believable abusive family relationship and was set in the 80s when I was a teenager so I guess there was some nostaligia value. |

Finished What Judgements Come by Dayton Ward the 7th in the Star Trek:Vanguard series. The author moves the story along setting up the finale in the final book Storming Heaven. This was slightly better than previous books in the series with less review of books 1-6. Lots of loose ends to clean up. Interested to see how the next author does it. Rated C- [3 stars].
Next is The Coldest War by Ian Tregillis. The next installment in an alternate WW2 universe. |
