I'm reading Borrowed Time by Robert Goddard. Read it a long while ago, maybe a decade, so I can't remember the plot at all, which can be fun when reading a mystery.

I finished reading Violence In Velvet on Friday and like the other three Ed Noon mysteries I've read, I enjoyed it tremendously! Next I'll be reading my freebie for October in the:

program. Tomorrow I'll begin the one I've chosen for October, which is the Science-Fiction Thriller novel, The Fire Seekers (The Babel Trilogy #1) by Richard Farr.

Now reading The Undead Pool -- about 35% into it. Really enjoying the book and I'm sad that Harrison has decided to end the series.

The choices this month are going to make it difficult for me to pick just one. I may be adding the other 3 to my wishlist since Christmas Is Coming Soon.

I believe that that is exactly what Amazon wants all of us to do.

Finished An Officer and a Spy. I thought that Robert Harris did an excellent job bringing to life the story of an outrageous miscarriage of justice. It made my realize how easy it is to railroad a convenient scapegoat to protect the public image of the powers that be.

I am reading the book Princess by Jean Sasson on Kindle. I just read the author's other book that she wrote in the series, Princess, More Tears to Cry. Although they are part of a series I found out that they can be read out of order. They are both fascinating books, as far as I know they are each on Kindle and Nook and the other main e-book formats. Here is a great new interview with the author by the way in case anyone is interested: http://freshfiction.com/page.php?id=6326

Another good collection, although the novella rather suffered from the same fault as this week's Doctor Who. Instead of asking us to accept one impossible thing, it piled them one on top of another. Particularly egregious was having Cleopatra 50 years out of her time.

Next up: Ummm.... I think A Call to Duty by David Weber and Timothy Zahn is calling me. Let's see how Zahn copes in the (early) Honorverse.

In the last week I've read Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. I've been on a classics kick lately, if you couldn't tell!

Though I enjoyed them all, my favorite of the three was The Age of Innocence. It just had this gut-punching emotional truth to the whole thing.

Well, just finished Assasin's Quest. Book 3 of the Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb. This book was very good. But, wow, what a long set of books. Aug 26th. No, I'm not a slow reader, I just only read for maybe an hour a day, or less.

I really liked this book. The last one was the best.

Now... on to, what? My last 6 books have been SF/Fantasy.

My brother recommended Vince Flynn. Where should I start? Term Limits?

Well, that was fun. I also read the prequel The Dragon Head of Hong Kong. I think I'm going to have to get a couple more of these.

Next up, Call to Duty, by David Weber and Timothy Zahn.

My recent reading:

Endless Night, by Agatha Christie, originally published in 1967. The book is narrated by Michael Rogers, a young man from a poor background who meets, falls in love with, and then marries, a rich American girl, but their happiness is blighted by strange events and a curse from an old gypsy woman...

One of the very best books Christie wrote, to my mind, and has a real shock ending. Very highly recommended.


Time Traders by Andre Norton. Bought this from Baen in November 2000.

Petty crook Ross Murdock is given the choice of facing a new medical procedure called Rehabilitation or volunteering to join a secret government project. He chooses the latter, and discovers that he has "volunteered" by a time-travel project in which teams of agents are being infiltrated into the distance past to attempt to discover the source of advanced technology that Russia is gaining, seemingly out of nowhere.

Pretty good SF. The first book in the "Time Traders" series.


By the Pricking of My Thumbs by Agatha Christie, first published in 1968. A not terribly good "Tommy and Tuppence" thriller. Can't really recommend it.
