So, I put Perdido down for a few books. They were ones that came up on my City Library waiting list, and Perdido is one I get from the University for something like three months. So...
Read Born Queen by Greg Keyes. Final book in Thorn and Bone series. Mostly just confusion for me. Don't think I understood why anything happened in the entire book, let alone the rest of the series.
Tried to read TimeWeb by Brian Herbert. Forced myself through 45 pages (even though I wanted to pitch it after 2) before giving up on it. Horrible writing. Horrible story-telling. Just...uck. There was no point in continuing the torture.
Started Hidden Empire by Kevin Anderson. Decent so far, even though every, new, extremely short chapter has a new POV character in it. Not sure what to think about that. This is the last author that I have to read to complete my goal of reading at least one book from every author in the Writers of the Future judges panel. It's been an interesting ride. I'll say that.
Ghost Story by Peter Straub is coming up after I finish those last two. Supposedly one of his really good ones. I like a little horror every now and then.
