This started off slow but gradually built up to a nice ending. Of course, we know who lives on since we've read their future in previous books. Great character development full of love and faith and relationships. Gladstone's originality is refreshing. His descriptions are creative without getting bogged down. Very underrated series I feel. Rated B- [3 stars].

Next is Titanium Noir by Nick Harkaway.

I also really like Max Gladstone's stuff, including his Craft series.

Y - The Last Man - Book One: A trade paperback that collects the first ten issues of the series. The series was published by Vertigo Comics, an imprint of DC Comics.

Quick Overview: In the Summer of 2002 an event happens and every mammal with a Y chromosome die (with exception of one man and a helper monkey he was training). It's not long and drawn out, one minute everything is normal, the next minute all of the men are coughing up blood, and the next minute they are all dead. This series explores what the world would be like if something like that happened.

Oh yes. I love well-thought-out time travel stuff.

Earlier this week I finished Terminal by J.L. Bryan. It's the fourth book in the Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper series. Which is about Ellie, who works for a company helping people get rid of their hauntings.

This book she and her co-workers and friends had to deal with a ghost train. So far I'm enjoying this series. Each book has a different haunting, it isn't as if the same story is told over and over again. In October book 22 is going to be released, so hopefully Bryan can keep telling new stories and they won't repeat too much. I also like that there isn't a huge amount of romance. Normally when having a female protagonist romance is a big part of the story, but here it's just a small part of the overall story.

The books are quick and easy reads for me, so ideal as a palate cleanser or read when I don't know what I want to read next.

Recently I read The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters. It's about a an Indigenous family from Nova Scotia who go to Maine each summer to pick berries and their 4-yr. old daughter disappears. Alternate chapters are narrated by a brother and the girl when she is older and as she grows up. It's not a mystery.

I am currently reading Sargent's Women: Four Lives Behind the Canvas by Donna M. Lucey. I saw the Sargent and Paris exhibition at the Met Museum last Saturday and saw the paperback in the exhibition pop-up gift shop, but I bought it in Kindle format.
