October 2006

  1. The Well of Tears by Cecilia Dart-Thornton.
    Finished beginning of Oct. This was a second book of a series and I
    really had to force myself to finish it, I probably won’t be reading
    the third book. I like Cecilia Dart-Thornton, but this series isn’t
    pulling off the promise of the first book.
  2. Morrigan’s Cross by Nora Roberts. Finished 10/18.
  3. Dance of the Gods by
    Nora Roberts. Finished 10/20. These two books were what I like to call
    my fluff emergency books. Sometimes, usually during a school semester,
    my brain is full of school things and scholastic reading and high
    literature–and what I need is a popcorn break. These fit the bill,
    they were fun, a blend of Celtic myth, vampires, witches, romance, and
    a grand need to save the world. Perfect to take on our weekend getaway.
    Although almost a little too fluff as I finished them before the
    weekend was up and had to resort to reading my son’s X-Men comics. The
    final of the three will be out on Halloween which is when (in the book
    world) the end of the world is suppose to come.
  4. The House of Gaian by
    Anne Bishop. Finished 10/29. This was the last of a series and followed
    through on the first ones and was a good read. This series reminded me
    a great deal of Gael Baudino’s Strand series of witch vs. inquistors
    with a handful of fae thrown in…actually, now that I think of it, it
    reminds me a LOT of that series. I enjoy Anne Bishop’s writing,
    although I don’t think they are as well done as Baudino’s which are
    excellent and one of the first fantasy series I had read.
