What are you reading?

Yes Please by Amy Poehler

 

I was less than impressed by Blindness. Interesting premise, but I found the execution flawed. I dropped it halfway through.

I am now reading Old Man's War and enjoying it quite a bit.

 

I recently finished Ancillary Justice. The use of pronouns was less of a problem compared to the flashbacks. And that awful plan. And the recently revitalized captain. And the ship's favorite. But good book otherwise.

 

Okay, I've got it queued up in my Kindle app. I couldn't get to it last night, but I'll try to get to it today.

 

Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch

 

Nice story. Some alternate history with a cool twist on the superhero concept, and with a lot of potential for an expanded universe. I enjoyed it.

 

Thank you, that's really nice feedback

 

Just finished Firefight by Brandon Sanderson, and have started The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line (Veronica Mars, #1) by Rob Thomas.

 

My Tesla Doll and me are happy to announce we have finished listening to the 22 hour long biography of Tesla (Wizard: The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla by Marc Seifer). It was interesting though a little tedious at times especially when it came to describing Tesla's business dealings. Throughout this year I plan to read books by or about the people my other dolls represent.

 

Web of the City by Harlan Ellison

 

^^ I've never read that one. How is it?

No problem. Good luck with future sales, and keep us informed, please.

 

Hey Miss Chicken, I think you'd probably be interested in The Forever Engine by Frank Chadwick, an alternate-history Steampunk in which Tesla is a main character. Fun story

 

A co-worker recommended "The Name of the Wind" to me. I'm about 100 pages in and really liking it so far.

 

I have added it to my very long wish-list.

 

I am listening to Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey, narrated by Anna Bentinck.

Maud is an elderly woman suffering from dementia. She is worried because she believes that her friend Elizabeth is missing. The novel also deals with the disappearance of Maud's sister almost 70 years before.

 

Thanks! I'm hoping to self publish another novel within the next month, certain it'll end up being advertised in my sig

I'd heard of this and am kinda interested in it, although it's a subject quite close to my heart as my mum has dementia so I worried it might be a bit sad.

 

Excellent. I've published a couple of short story collections and poetry collections to fairly good success. I'll keep an eye on your sig.

 

reading Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden (with thanks to Owain Taggart)

 

Starkers...I just read your book, Devils of Amber Street. That was good; guess I'm also going to be watching your sig so I don't miss your next one...

 

Yeah, I read it a while ago, too, and liked it. This is a good time for independent creators.
