The second half didn't quite live up to the first half, but I'm looking forward to the next in the series.
Next up: My oldest unread bought ebook, Evermore by Modean Moon. This was a three book bundle from Baen Ebooks back in 2007. So far it seems to be just a supernatural romance. Readable, but not what I'm really interested in. I'll see how it goes, but I think I'll be skipping the other two unless I get hooked by the characters. |

Now reading The Untouchable by John Banville. I'm quite enjoying this one. About a quarter done.

I'm in the midst of Origins of the Specious: Myths and Misconceptions of the English Language by Patricia T. O'Conner.
I am a big fan of the English language, being an amateur writer and heavy reader that I am (and considering it's the only language I know well enough to hold a conversation in...), so these kinds of books are really up my alley. At any rate, this is a nice palate cleanser before diving back into the sordid affairs of all people, places and things fictional, factual and historical (much history is mere fantasy, after all ![]() After this, it may be Washington's Dirigible, or The Prophecy Con, though at the moment I'm feeling in the mood of something more suspenseful... |

However, since I just looked that title up in Amazon, (and I have no idea why this showed up in the search results, but) I just found The Hittites: The Lost Empire of the Ancient World, for $0.99 which, at 59 pages can't be really that comprehensive, but still looks interesting enough and may feed into my research for a story I've been developing.

I'm currently reading Warrior by Nick Webb, second book in his Legacy Fleet series. I borrowed it from Amazon via the Kindle Unlimited program. Sadly, there isn't a book 3 (yet?). Also listening to Peter and the Sword of Mercy by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. I have about 3 hours of the 11 yet to listen.

![]() I just finished Elizabeth George's "A Banquet of Consequences" and really liked it. First time I read her (it's a book club selection) but will definitely read more. It was a little daunting at almost 600 pages, and slow at first, but picked up steam and I read it pretty quickly. Currently reading "Let the Devil Sleep" by John Verdon. Only about 10% into this mystery, but enjoying it thus far. |

I have gotten to book 11 Gilt Trip in this series and about half way finished. I am really enjoying this series. I will probably never make it down to New Orleans so this series has been a treat for me. I love most all the characters and the plot is great. I highly recommend this author and this series. |

I read Washington's Dirigible by John Barnes, though I am still in the midst of Origins of the Specious; I may try The Oddfits next... one of the freebies of the month for January. |

I got my PRS505 out to read the latest Tom Keller book 'Not Just Another Fae (Vegas Fae Stories Book 4)' and found myself trying to swipe the pages - it takes a little while to get used to each readers (or book) little quirks
