Just finished The Martian. Really good stuff there from a first-time author. I rank it up there among my favourite Mars fiction such as Ben Bova's Mars.
I just read Unintended Consequences, by Marti Green, on my kindle...Wow! What a great thriller! It's concerns the Help Innocent Prisoners Project. and was only a buck ninety-nine.
I highly recommend it for everyone; especially if you go books about the law. Very suspense-filled; the...I couldn't put it down kind.

Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. 
Tatiana, by Martin Cruz Smith. Good, not great.
I just bought it both on Kindle and at Audible. It cost me less to buy the Kindle book first ($4) and than the Audible ($1.99) than it would have been to have bought the Audible on it own.
I really, really enjoyed We Have Always Lived in the Castle which I mentioned in my previous post. The narrator, Bernadette Dunne was excellent.
After that I listen to, and also read a little on my Kindle, Frozen Out (also published under the title Frozen Assets) by Quentin Bates. It was a murder mystery set in Iceland. I think it lacked something, maybe because the author wasn't Icelandic he didn't capture the Icelandic mood like a native author did. I wasn't that keen on the narrator, Mel Hudson.
Now I am listening to another Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child book, Riptide, narrated by Scott Brick.

Alternating between Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan and (still working my way through) A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin.
Isn't it a riot? And the best part is that's 'hard' SF; the wisecracking commentary and the brilliant on-the-fly engineering go back and forth with one another.
I'm finishing up George Washington's Secret Six, which is diverting enough but not exactly scholarly. It's so narrative he has psuedo-fabricated 'conversations' happening between the characters, and there's nary a footnote. I'm only reading it because the book I'd INTENDED to read for the week of the Fourth (The Men who Lost America got lost in the mail.
The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead. It's book two of the Bloodlines series. I have two more after this to read before the next one comes out later this month.
I finished Riptide. I didn't enjoy it as much as most of the other Preston/Child books I have read. The plot was good but I think the characters were not that interesting.
I am now listening to Revenge of the Whale: The True Story of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick, narrated by Taylor Mali.

dreams of empire a 2nd doctor who book.
Yeah, definitely. And it didn't get bogged down by a lot of detail and was actually quite an easy quick read for what it was. Gonna have to keep an eye on this author considering his first one is so good
Wonder what else he has up his sleeve.
Skin Game (The Dresden Files) -- Jim Butcher
