deenseI really need to do these more often. I keep forgetting books that I've read. I know, I rock. Please note this seems to be the time of re-reads.
14-17, The Hollows books
Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison
The Good, the Bad, and the Undead by Kim Harrison
Every Which Way but Dead by Kim Harrison
A Fistful of Charms by Kim Harrison
- These were all re-reads, but I haven't re-read them since I first purchased them. I really like these books (I would think obviously) because of the current batch of urban fantasy out there they are light on the excessive/poorly written sex, have plot, are amusing, are engaging, and have characters that drive you mad/you love, etc. Give them a try. Seriously.
18 Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I have no idea. The skill of writing is crap, and the content that is complete and utter rubbish. Why I spent money on this book, I'll never know.
19 Once Bitten, Twice Shy, Jennifer Rardin. This was a sort of supernatural CIA assassins book. Entertaining and fairly well put together. Nothing to write home about, but better than a lot that's out there in this genre. I don't know that I'll hunt out the next one, but if it crosses my path, I'll give it a go.
20 Atonement by Ian McEwan. It's been about two years since I've read this book (and it's about the fifth time that I've read it) and I still cannot express how brilliant it is. Read it, please. Then pick up Saturday, my next favourite book by him.
21 I was Bono's Doppelganger by Neil McCormick. Wow. I found this book almost accidentally at the airport. BRILLIANT. Neil is a music journalist in the UK and went to high school with U2. He tried to make it in the music business and failed, having to watch U2 skyrocket to success. EXTREMELY well written, it's part memoir, part early story of U2 and part critique of the music industry, and so, so good.
I think that Fionavar is on the re-read list next, plus I have Shakespeare by Bill Bryson, and it's time to delve back into the world of Patrick O'Brian.
