We'll Try This Again

I finally figured out (I'm a little slow sometimes) that the reason I let the book list pile up was because I found the idea of commenting on every book and author and researching and posting links to be a chore.

Then it dawned on me that if you (the hypothetical reader of this journal) wanted to know more about an author all they had to do was google them. Well duh!

So I'm not going to do that any more. At least not often.

Strong Spirits by Alice Duncan

Fledgling by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. This is going to be one of the exceptions. Their web site is here: www.korval.com/ Fledgling started out life as an experiment in reader supported web serialization.The story was posted week by week as it was written and as long as donations kept coming. The book was finished with more left over for another book! As presented on line it was the first draft of a book that might never appear on dead trees. It has made it to print and is well worth reading. You don't have to have read the first draft to enjoy this Liaden side story. The "left over parts" will be published as Saltation next year. (This was also serialized.) The story line is scheduled to rejoin the main Liaden universe plot line in a future book Ghost Ship.

Lost & Found by Jayne Ann Krentz

I Shot You Babe by Leslie Langtry

Graceling by Krisin Cashore

Mercy Thompson: Homecoming (Graphic novel) Patricia Briggs. My age is showing here I think. When I was a kid I devoured comic books just as fast as the regular kind. (This was more than 50 years ago.) I found this book a bit disappointing. The story was OK, and I love the author's books but... Possibly it was the difference in style between multiple illustrators. Or may be just because that wasn't how I pictured Mercy. The tattoos Mercy had, which changed with the illustrator didn't help.
