3: Total Drama All Stars by kierandell1409 (Fanfic)
Finished the First and third ones.

The ARC was quite good, if you've red the other stories in the series it helps a bit, but you don't have to have read them. It's a nice historic romance set in England.

Total Drama was good. not as polished as Harry Potter/Discworld, but a lot better than some of the self-published books currently on Amazon/Kobo.

When my father-in-law found out that I had never read LoTR, he volunteered to give me the books. I think I'm going to need to read the trilogy.

A very minor point, but please note:

Quote:
J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is often erroneously called a trilogy, when it is in fact a single novel, consisting of six books plus appendices, sometimes published in three volumes.
"Note on the Text", right at the very start of the book.

Looks like I'll be getting more reading time than I expected in April. I have to take my mother to four medical visits (cataract surgery) between now and the end of April, and an ebook is a must for such situations.

I did finish Seanan McGuire's Pocket Apocalypse (InCryptid #4) and Danielle Paige's The Wizard Returns (Dorothy Must Die #0.3) today, thanks in part to such an errand. The former was, as expected, quite good - aside from a memorable stray decimal point that turned 9mm ammo into .9mm toothpicks, which I hope will get fixed in future printings. The latter is one of those "necessary backstory" novellas, setting the stage for me to read the second novel in the series after I download it later today. It doesn't stand alone very well, but it's better than an expository lump in the main text.

Also up soon: Jennifer Estep's Black Widow (Elemental Assassin #12). I wanted to get to this earlier, but I no can haz reading so much. Same goes for The Diabolical Miss Hyde, which looks promising but lacks the compulsion factor of being part of a formal series. I might pair it with Hyde for giggles; why read one Jekyll/Hyde sequel when I can read two?

Which was good, but perhaps rather more philosophising than I'd have preferred.

Then I read The Merchant's Mark by Pat McIntosh, the third in her Gil Cunningham murder mysteries, set in mediaeval Glasgow. It was very good, although a glossary would be handy...

Next up: my latest purchase, Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie.

I read The Diabolical Miss Hyde last month and thought it was very good. Book 2 in the series The Devious Dr. Jekyll will be released on October 27th.

Lately I've read the first five books of Isaac Asimov's Foundation series (Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation, Foundation's Edge, Foundation and Earth). I got a little burned out with Foundation stuff after reading the fourth and fifth books, and so I wanted to read something else.

I've been reading on and off Jack Rakove's Revolutionaries: A New History of the Invention of America and Gerard Russell's Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms. That last title is particularly topical these days, as it is about persecuted religious minorities in the Middle East.


I'm now halfway through Nelson Demille's The Charm School. It's a very engrossing read, a thriller set in the mid-1980's Soviet Union.

It's got me wanting to follow this with something else about Russia and/or the Soviet Union. Fiction or non-fiction would do.

I finished Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins this afternoon, just when my Kobo was running out of power. It even gave me the low battery warning. It was at 10% and I finished just in time. lol

The kobo is all charged up now and I'm about to start Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue by Hugh Howey.
