Books of the Week XIX

Books Read: 2
Titles:

Deathstalker by Simon R. Green. Finally found the first book in the series, not in the best of shape (pages yellowed, spines all cracked, some tears here and there) ah well. It's a great read, senseless deaths and all.
I also managed to buy another book in the series, Deathstalker Return, which I'm going to put off reading until I could find at least a few others books in between the two. I also managed to get my hand on another book of the author from another one of his series (Nightingale's Lament from the Nightside series), I don't know if I should start reading it already or look for the prior books first.

The Trench by Steve Alten. Second book in the Megalodon series, I've already read the first and third books in the series so this completes it until the next one comes out next year. Still, the series does get repetitive (hey how many people does the shark need to eat anyway?)

Books of the Week XVIII

Books read: 3
Titles:
Servant of the Shard by R.A. Salvatore. Should this even be part of Drizzt Do'urden series of books? It focused on Artemis Entreti and Jarlaxle Baenre. It's been a long time since I read any of the books in the series which I haven't completed (aside from the Icewind Dale trilogy), hope I could find the rest and read them in order.
The Lunatic Cafe by Laurell K. Hamilton. I also managed to get my hand on Narcissus in Chains, so I'm getting closer to completing the series.
State of Fear by Michael Crichton. Dang, I found out that he recently passed away when I read through his wiki. While it's been a while since I read any of his book (I have many of his older books but none of the recent ones) still he was an excellent writer. R.I.P.
Three books in a week, which kinda makes up for not finishing any book (though I started several) the two weeks before last. Been busy lots. Still at least I still average a book a week. Better than I could hope for.
