The Current Status of... Things

Since my last post, I got out of my reading funk and picked up a few books. I also upgraded my library card (well, its more like my library upgraded). I reinstalled Vista on my computer maybe 3 times. But despite that hassle, May was a good month. Now for some more detail...

I read:

Wanderlust - Ann Aguirre
Awesome!

Doubleblind - Ann Aguirre
Even more awesome!

Silver Borne - Patricia Briggs
Love this series! I read the book so fast I'm sure I missed a lot. It delivered what I was hoping for: a well-written, fast-paced, action/adventure/mystery, and it also developed the series some more. Loved it!

Lover Mine - J. R. Ward
This book made me sigh and groan. I have a love hate relationship with J. R. Ward. I couldn't wait to read about John Matthew and Xhex but the numerous side plots were so annoying, frustrating, and, frankly, boring. But, I will say I'm dying to find out what happens to Blay and Quinn. That alone will make me read the next book (at which point I'm sure I'll find something in the next book that will keep me in I have to know mode).

I'm currently reading:
King of Sword and Sky - C. L. Wilson
So far so good (even though I'm only on page 31).

I have some other goodies waiting:
The Summer of You - Kate Noble
Tithe - Holly Black

I'm sure I'll be reading more since my library has become awesome. It is no longer a small country library. It has joined forces with the libraries of Indiana. Yes, it is now part of Evergreen Indiana, Open Source Integrated Library System (a round of applause please). It's a group of 60 or so Indiana libraries. I can get books from any of them sent to my local library which has greatly increased my reading selection (so excited)!

That's all I have for now. I leave you with this quote from a certain pirate captain:


I'm sorry, it's just, it's such a pretty boat... ship.
