Extreme Veteran Posts: 557 Location: Great Lakes, USA | So far, I have read 5 books on my list for this month, plus a couple of extras. Translation State - Ann Leckie. I liked it, although I did have to keep going back to figure out the pronouns. Everyone had different pronouns and then the Radch came in and called everyone she/her. Keeper - Joan Hunter Holly. This was good. I am having fun with these Laser Books. This one has a sequel, so I am hunting for it. You Sexy Thing - Cat Rambo. Good space opera. This one also has sequels, which I will read. Trading in Danger - Elizabeth Moon. First book of Vatta's War. Liked it and will read the sequels. The Temporal Void - Peter F. Hamilton. Really liked this one (favorite of this month) and have the third near the top of next months TBR. The Last Town - Blake Crouch. Finished up this trilogy, which I enjoyed. Wonder if there will be a book 4? I have read quite a bit of this author and have yet to be disappointed. Lockdown Tales - Neal Asher. Liked these. I have a hard time reading straight through short story collections, even when I like them. And these stories were good. I need to read the earlier Polity books. I am currently reading A Time of Changes by Poul Anderson and Bringing Columbia Home by Michael Leinbach and Jonathan Ward. I am also listening to The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. All are good so far. Library holds have my TBR for August already planned. | ||
