Mesu Andrews' Ahinoam, book 1 in her "King David's Brides" series.

Hmm. Makes me think about Heller's God Knows.

At any rate,

Ruth. Not about Captain Kirk's old girlfriend.
First Samuel. Not about any of Captain Kirk's relatives, nor his sparring partner from "Charlie X." And also note that the "five golden hemorrhoids" mentioned therein are not a mistranslation of "five piles of gold."

TNG Crossover by Michael Jan Friedman

 

[Smiley]

I'm reading Star Trek: Ascendance and Star Trek: Armageddon's Arrow for the first time. I'll chime in again if I have strong feelings about either one. I do wish Ascendance had regular chapter breaks, but I will judge it based on its actual content. At least it has regular quotation marks for its dialogue, which The Lincoln Highway did not.

I've recently finished The Last Devil to Die (a Thursday Murder Club novel by Richard Osman) which was very amusing - and heartbreaking - as always, and started ST: TNG - Warped by Mike McMahan. I can see how this led to ST: Lower Decks already

Second Samuel. Again, nothing to do with any member of Kirk's family, or his sparring partner.
First Kings. Which has nothing to do with a local hockey team (besides which, hockey is something I was once paid to babysit, but it was never anything I wanted to watch).
Second Kings.
First Chronicles.

I finished up "Probe" by Margaret Wander Bonanno a few days ago and really enjoyed it. It was interesting to find out after the fact all the behind the scenes stuff that went on with the publishing of that book and others at that time.
I liked having a follow up on the Probe and the Romulan characters were interesting and different. Onto reading some Voyager now!

Second Chronicles.

The Seaside Homecoming by Julie Klassen.

 

[Dr Bonezee]

Just finished The Higher Frontier, now working on A Contest of Principles

 

[Smiley]

Finishing this week: Star Trek: Force and Motion (a reread but one that I don't remember at all)
Long term project: The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien: Revised and Expanded Edition
On deck: reread of Star Trek: Disavowed

Ezra.

I'm taking a short break from TNG: Doomsday World to read ST: Lower Decs #5.

 

[Allyn Gibson]

I'm taking a short break from TNG: Doomsday World to read ST: Lower Decs #5.

Doomsday World has one of my absolute favoritest Worf quotes, but it comes very late in the novel so I won't spoil it.

 

[JD]

I'll keep an eye out for that.

Anna Karenina by Tolstoy

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

Nehemiah.
Tobit. Even though it contains a couple small scoops of eye-scream (it seems that the titular character is blinded in chapter 2, verse 10, when "the sparrows muted warm dung" into his eyes; he regains his sight in chapter 11, verses 11-13, when his son took fish gall, and "strake of the gall on his father's eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.")

I finished up the Lower Decks comic and went back to Doomsday World last night.

Is it just me, or do other people get CLB's The Higher Frontier and JJM's The High Country confused, solely because of the titles?

Be that as it may,

Judith. (And if, reading it, you see a lot of parallels between it and the story of Deborah, in Judges 4-5, and/or you notice that it reads like a historical novel that's been drenched in anachronism stew, you're not alone.)

Not really, I think the fact that they're different series with different authors helps me to remember which is which.
