- 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.
- Morrigan’s Cross by Nora Roberts. Finished 10/18.
- 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.
- 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.
