So What Are you Reading?: Generations

Finished The Diamond of Darkhold. Nice ending to the series. Much better than the middle two books.

Now I'm reading Stolen Innocence: really long subtitle by Elissa Wall. It's a memoir of a girl who grew up in the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints under Warren Jeffs.
 
I finally found one of the Psych tie-ins by William Rabkin, Mind Over Magic, which captures the back-and-forth of Shawn and Gus pretty well so far... Wish they'd let others do some, so I could have a go, but it seems to be a single-author series.
 
Just finished Dance of Dragons by GRRM, Thief of Thieves Vol.1 by Nick Spencer, and Manhattan Projects Vol.1 by Jonathan Hickman. Gonna check out Lee Bermejo's Batman: Noel next...
 
Just re-read Star Wars: Hard Contact as part of my Star Wars read-through. (Which is more or less a side project).
Don't read the following RC books.

Thanks for the advice, but I've read them all already. Hahaha. I just like reading series in order again after waiting several months.

The only ones I really didn't care for were Order 66 and 501st.

I really enjoyed that one as well as A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Read. However, I was very disappointed in the latest one, Mind-Altering Murder. For some reason the author seemed to have lost the voice for the characters in that one; the characterizations seemed totally off to me. It seems most of the books based on USA shows are single-author series. It's kind of a shame, because I'd like more of a variety, and I'd definitely be interested in reading a Psych novel by you.

I finished Doctor Who: Touched by an Angel. I thought it was really good and enjoyed it a lot.

I then read the first (and so far only) volume of Warehouse 13 comics.

I'm now reading New Frontier: Excalibur - Requiem.
 
Read "Queen of the Black Coast" by Robert E. Howard last night.

Brian Wood is currently doing a comic book adaptation of Howard's QotBC through Dark Horse comics. He's doing it as at least 25 issues i hear. IMO, it's been quite good...if you're interested in reading a different take on the character :)
 
Finally finished Star Trek: TNG/X-Men: Planet X last night. I was reading it fairly quickly but with work starting back up and trying to catch up on comics - I'm months behind! - It's been a slow burn. I ended up liking it, a good bit of fun. Though, the last 1/3 of the book feels a little off - we lose any POV of the Transformed chapters for no real reason. Some odd editing mistakes, too. Archangel is said to have both metal and feather wings, which I can attribute to the book being written before Angel's wings changed, but still. And, a character is once called Lt. Wayne, then called Lt. Lee, then called Lt. Wayne! Very odd.

I've also gotten around to reading Batman: Earth One which I thought was a lot better than Superman: Earth One, but that's not saying much. Definitely feels like it's trying to draw in the Nolan-verse Batfan, which isn't necessarily bad, but it lacks the detective aspect of Batman. Some interesting and welcome mythos changes, though.

As well, I also read and absolutely loved Parker: The Score adapted by Darwyn Cooke. What amazing visual storytelling and a really fun heist story.

Next up I dive into the Mirror Universe with Age of the Empress
 
Now I'm starting Chindi by Jack McDevitt.

I enjoyed this one to a degree, but I think that Deepsix before it and Omega after it are far superior.

I definitely enjoyed Deepsix more, but I still really enjoyed the heck out of Chindi. I haven't started Omega yet (and probably won't for several months), but I can say I enjoyed this one more than The Engines of God.

Just finished Voyager: Eternal Tide. Next up is Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil.
 
Taking a little break from Trek and reading "The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian". so far, this book is frickin awesome :D
 
Reading 3 books at the moment, which I switch between depending on my mood. Fast Food nation, The Hobbit and Boneshaker
 
Finished A Stitch In Time which was an excellent read and definitely my all-time favorite Trek book (no small feat). I actually "missed" reading about Garak and all the people he interacted with when I finally finished it. Will read it again in the future.

Currently reading The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson.

:bolian:
 
I recently finished No Logo, a sharp criticism of corporate brands' advertising and labor practices. It complemented Empire of Illusion nicely. Now I'm relaxing a bit with Moon Shot. Ever since the weekend that Curiosity landed (8 August), I've been reading space exploration books.
 
I have just read Diane Carey's novel, "Final Frontier" which I loved!

Anyone interested in my review can find it here

I think next on my Star Trek reading list is one of the Star Trek Academy books, "Crisis at Vulcan"
 
Currently rereading How Few Remain by Harry Turtledove.

I love many of Turtledove's ideas for alternate history, especially in that "universe," but his writing can drive me crazy sometimes.

I buy his books for the concepts, never for the prose. If I like the concept, I generally like the book, even as I cringe at the many things I don't like about his style.
