Hello, All.
What a wonderful Idea to have a book reading challenge for 2011. I'm certainly excited about participating and will use this post to keep track of the books I've read.
I am going to use Fastolfe's rating system as I believe it to be quite nice and graphically informative. The rating system is shown below.
= the book is a turd, avoid at all costs
= not sure what to make of it
= okay book
= good book, recommended
= great book, highly recommended
= reading in progress
Further, I am going to use a modification of wcherrybomb's method of detailing the books I've read.
On to the list...
Book #1
Rating:
Title: 1632
Author: Eric Flint
Pages: 504
Genre: Science Fiction
Review: Outstanding book! One of the best SciFi reads I've enjoyed in years. Mr. Flint is an excellent author and has a writing style that paints vivid mind pictures. I found myself drawn into the story and becoming one of the players. I highly recommend this book.
Book #2
Rating:
Title: Hero (The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 6)
Author: Cheryl Brooks
Pages: 365
Genre: Science Fiction Romance (Mature)
Review: Even though I'm an "old fart", I've got to admit this is the first time I've read a Science Fiction Romance book. I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Brooks approach to her subject matter and even found the explicit parts interesting to read. It certainly makes one wonder what alien sex life might be like... I would certainly recommend this good book.
Book #3
Rating:
Title: 1633
Author: Eric Flint
Pages: 608
Genre: Science Fiction
Review:
As I finish and / or start more books, I'll edit this post. Good reading to all!
Regards,
