I finally finished Prof. Bernice Summerfield and the Gods of the Underworld. A pretty rough read, all told. Took me over two weeks to slog through it. It's a real shame as there's a few great ideas peppered in there. And a rather great "reveal" about what Underworld means in the text. But too much other stuff that gets in the way. I have Prof. Summerfield and the Squire's Crystal on deck next. I also listened to the latest Doctor Who: New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield set from Big Finish, which contains a great character study by Una McCormack. I'm about a third of a way through Star Trek: The More Things Change. Pretty good so far but some of the dialogue is a bit stiff - even for Spock. Glad to get a Chapel-centric story. I always wish she got to do more in the series.
I sped through most of Peaceable Kingdoms, I'm glad to get to the end of The Fall. It was all rather dour. For a change of pace I've moved onto John Buchan's Salute to Adventurers.
I finally got my Star Trek Vanguard book 4 Open Secrets in the mail. I've read 6 chapters of this book. I really like this series alot. I've been wanting to find out what happens after that cliffhanger ending in Summon the Thunder.
Four (Divergent) came today. I can't decide if I want to break into The Fiery Heart to read it or not.
Is that the collection of Four stories? I just read Divergent about a month ago, and I was curious about those. Where would you say it's best to read those during the series? Thanks.
They do seem to pop up without much notice. I looked at the Stargate novel site last month and they didn't mention it was being released. I just happened to notice it on Amazon the other day. (There's also a SG1 novel that's recently come out too)
The new Atlantis ones (or the last 7 at least) are post-series and ongoing. (Before that - books 1-16 were during the series if I remember correctly) The SG1 ones have typically been planet of the week ones and vary in the timeline in the series.
I started Book 2 of the Mission Gamma Series last week: This Grey Spirit. Still kind of riding high after Book 1 though. That was a great read.
I've just started Twilight, and loved the first chapter...but this sucker is lonnnng! I don't have a problem with long books (I'm a DRG3 fan afterall), but it's daunting. The small print is kind of getting to me...just like with the Crucible trilogy. I know i could try an ereader, but i prefer paper books. Oh well. I'll survive. Enjoy This Grey Spirit
I think that's what I like about E-readers now. You can adjust your font and it makes the book easier to read. I think in paperback, Twilight was 530 (or something like that) pages. On the Ipad, it was 730, which looks longer but less daunting.
I finished Star Trek: The Lost Era: One Constant Star by DRG3. I'm now reading Fringe: The Burning Man by Christa Faust.
The X-Files: Ruins by Kevin Anderson. I remember reading this many years and enjoying it, but, after all this time, it reads like a new book to me.
Just posted my review of the e-book novella The More Things Change by Scott Pearson. Enjoyed this one! Reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth at the moment.
