Books of the Week XXII

Books read: 2
Titles:
Born to Run by Stephen Kenson. A start of a new trilogy in the Shadowrun line of books. Actually the first book I have that displays the new Shadowrun logo, from the original stylized demon head to the stylized dragon. I have two other Shadowrun books (Drops of Corruption and Aftershock, not part of the trilogy though) in line to read.
Shadow in the Darkness by Elaine Cunningham. I'm back with the urban fantasy/paranormal with female protagonist genre with this one. I already read a few books from the author though back then it was pure fantasy genre, this book is actually better than her previous books.

Books of the Week XXI

Books Read: 3
Titles:
Tears of the Furies and Stone Unturned. The 2nd and 3rd book in the Menagerie series by Christopher Golden and Thomas E. Sniegoski. Weirdly enough, the trouble the group faces goes from worldwide threat to something smaller but more personal as the series goes on.

Unquiet Dreams by Mark Del Franco. The 2nd book of the Connor Grey series, this one's looking up as well.
Actually it's great to find these books at around the same time, by coincidence, I found and read the first books in these two series at the same time as well and it's great that I did not have to wait years to read the sequels.

Books of the Week XX

Books Read: 3
Titles:

Deathstalker Rebellion by Simon R. Green. The second book in the series, I bought and started the book a week after I read the first one (very lucky!) though I only finished it last week. The rebellion is starting, who knew it could be so much work?

Wiz Biz by Rick R. Cook. I'm counting this as two books because it compiled Wizard's Bane and The Wizardry Compiled. Hey the first and second part of the series in one, of course, now that I got the first two books compiled I'll probably want the next two books together as well instead of buying them individually.

This was an altogether great week for sequels, aside from Deathstalker Rebellion, I managed to get my hands on Tears of the Furies and Stone Unturned (2nd and 3rd book in the Menagerie series by Christopher Golden and Thomas E. Sniegoski), Taste of Night (the 2nd book of the Signs of the Zodiac series by Vicki Petterson) and Unquiet Dreams (2nd book of the Connor Grey series by Mark Del Franco). Just wish I could find the time to read them all.
