Books 2009 - 1

Kushiel's Justice - Jacqueline Carey - yes, I like this series, and this was a good one.

Books I did not finish - Grunts! - Mary Gentle - Just couldn't get into it, so I put it down.


Year's total: 14

When I was younger, a few decades ago, I'd finish a book, no matter what. As I became older, I decided that life was too short. If a book doesn't do it for me, off on the giveaway pile it goes. Besides, there are too many books out there that MIGHT be more interesting.

Is it the same for you?

I didn't care for the first one in this second trilogy.

But the latest one, Kushiel's Mercy, knocked me out.

I'm looking forward to Naamah's Kiss (June), which sends us back to the world of Imeril's first wife, who tragically died, in order for him to fulfill his destiny to marry his true love. (Some sarcasm here intended, yes.)

I am not looking forward to her Saint Olivia, yet another contemporary werewolf paranormal entry into the overcrowded same-same-fornication and violence subgenre of non-humans competing with each while munching down on us mere mortals at whim.

As I told one of the DAW people the other day when he phoned to chat about something else, if there's never another of these books published again it would be a Good Thing!

Love, C.
