What Are You Reading?

[skimom2]

Almost finished with After Alice (Maguire). It got better; still just okay for me. If someone stateside wants either one of the copies they sent me, just let me know. Next up: starting A Banquet of Consequences (Elizabeth George), then Reading the Sweet Oak (Jan Stites). Then I should have a short break to read stuff I want to read (though I did take yesterday to re-read Everything's Eventual).

Finished Blue Star by Jan Guillou. The fifth in his series norwegian-german-swedish family. This part takes place during the second world war and this time it is the daughter of, Johanne, the family that carries the main part. Describes her work first for the norwegian resistance and then how she is working for the brits against germans in Sweden. Throws light on much that has been almost forgotten in the history writing because the main persons are women, not men. Johanne is fictional, of course but almost all around her are not. (blue Star are her codename since the title). Good book. Especially since he in the book before this one centered around the father and his unwillingness to think evil of the germans (a very common position by many in sweden sadly but mostly kept quiet about it now). I liked that he dared to make such a person, a very sympathetical person otherwise, the main person. This willingness to see both sides makes the books believeable.

Old Gods Almost Dead. 40 years of The Rolling Stones. What an eye-opener.

I am currently reading french translated version of The Tommyknockers. I didn't have it so far in my SK bookshelf, and I bought the hard cover at a used book sale yesterday, almost brand new. Here it is.

Horrorween - Al Sarrantonio

Awful - I got novel this in a cheap kindle horror omnibus. I knew nothing about it before I started but I looked the author up and saw that he had written quite a few novels so I thought that was a good sign. It actually started out well but as it went a along it seemed horribly disjointed. After I finished it, I looked the novel up on the net and I discovered that this was actually 3 novellas that the author joined together to make this novel. I guess that explains why some of the characters just seemed to disappear without a trace and the story didn't seem coherent.

If you have a Kindle and you're looking for a scary book, today, October 24 only, Amazon has 50 horrorish/ghosty books that are on sale.
Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box is $1.99, and I highly recommend This House is Haunted--only $0.99. It's an excellent Victorian England ghost story.

Started Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry. The first in the Benny Imura-series. It is a YA zombie book but it is actually good. Enjoy reading it. I'm 200 pages in and i've read a similar concept before but not close to as interesting.

Have picked up Swan Song today for the first time in... months. Am hoping it will break my reading-for-pleasure fast.
