Books of the Week XXV

Books read: 3

Titles:
Newton's Cannon by Gregory Keyes. First book of the Age of Unreason series.
The Family Trade by Charles Stross. First book in the Merchant Princes series.
Dead Money: A No Limit Poker Mystery by Rudy Stegemoeller.
Actually of the three books, I liked the last one best, the first two had way too many new ideas for me to wrap my head around in (maybe I should avoid reading too many books at once... nah) Also, I'm a fan of Texas Hold 'Em, so that probably helped.

Book of the Week XXIII & XXIV

Books read the last couple of weeks: 12 (7 and 5)
I took advantage of the Holiday Seasons to read through my backlog of books. Not that I made any sizeable dent on said backlog, considering I bought about the same number of books (if not more!) during the same period (managed to visit most Booksale outlet that I know of, several times, in fact).

Titles:
Week XXIII (The last week of 2008)Iceman: My fighting Life by Chuck Liddell and Chad Mullman.
Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz.
Cerulean sins by Laurell K. Hamilton.
Agents of Light and Darkness and Nightigale's Lament by Simon R. Green. Books 2 and 3 of the Nightside series, and in line with my luck I managed to read it out or order... again. And of course, I haven't found Book 1 yet.
The Taste of Night: Second Sign of Zodiac by Vicki Pettersson.
Devlin's Luck by Patricia Bray.
Week XXIV (The last couple of days of 2008 and and the first week of 2009)
Devlin's Honor by Patricia Bray. Second book of the Sword of Change series. I bought without even having read the first book in the series (though I already had the first book for a while) just so i could read them back-to-back. Too bad I couldn't finish them in the same week.
Eagle Strike by Anthony Horowitz.
Choosers of the Slain by John Ringo.
The Color of Law by Mark Gimenez.
Moonshine by Rob Thurman.
That's it! That makes it about 60 or so books I've read during the last year since I started keeping track of them with the blog. (Hope I could get the time to read that many this year as well).
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
