Books I read in July 2008

My computer has been down this month and I have been on vacation.  A lot more time to read.

26.  Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas  --  romance/soft porn - rating "C"

       A New York Best Seller for lonely women.  I can't see men reading this.

27.  Exile's Return by Raymond E. Feist   --  Fantasy  -  rating "B"

       The third book of the conclave of shadows. Now the evil Duke of Olasko is banish to the other side of the world.  But now out of the evil influence of  the magician Leso Varen, Kasper is realizing that he had been a pawn.  A nice twist on the series but it is really just setting up the next one. The Darkwar saga.  Still it is well written and if you like Feist's writing  and his Midkemia world.  This is a must read for you.

28.   Debt of Bones by Terry Goodkind --  Fantasy --  rating "B"

A prequel to the Sword of Truth series starring First Wizard Zeddicus Zul'l Zorander.

29.    Area 51 :  Nosferatu by Robert Doherty  --  pulp/action adventure - "C"

      Either he was trying to expand on the vampires in this series or just dragging out the storyline. After the Area 51 : The Truth no more should have been written.

30.    How Precious Was That While by Piers Anthony - Autobiography  -- "B"

      One of my favorite SF/fantasy writers. I like his first autobiography Bio of an Ogre.  And I enjoyed this one, too.  You will learn about his fellow writers and about the publishing world.

31.   Area 51 :  Legend by Robert Doherty - pulp/action adventure - "C-"

       Still rehashing the series.  From the view point of two aliens that have been fighting the Alien "gods" for over 10,000 years.  Skip this book.

32.  Change of Heart by Judi Picoult - fiction - "B-"

    A best selling author from NH.  A book of a death row convict that might be the center of miracles.  A modern day takes on the Green Mile by Stephen King.

33.  The Aftermath by Ben Bova  --  SF - "B"

   Book 4 of the Asteriod Wars which is part of Grand Tour series.  Ben Bova writes about tomorrow, the near future which could come true if we start looking to the skies again.  He tends to get you interested in the world to come and you don't want to stop reading.

Where are all the other lists?  I just love to read what others are reading, too.
