This Week's Reads

Blueshift
by Crilleb50 (DeviantArt)


The Outcasts of Time by Ian Mortimer
(Goodreads)
**I've already started this one. I'm not really sure what the point of the story is but still find it interesting. The two brothers have made a deal with someone (The devil?) and instead of dying from the plague they can spend their last six days going forward in time 99 years every one day. Seeing how much an area has changed in 99 years is interesting but because they are only there a day not much happens story wise.










The Bookworm by Mitch Silver
(Goodreads)
**This is another historical fiction, mystery, thriller type book. I'm curious how well the author does connecting all the different elements from the past to things that are happening in current time. I've read a few that take place in both the past and present and they do not always work out well.

Book of Universe
by LordSkizz (DeviantArt)
I've been in a bad reading slump lately, then the olympics started and I've been trying to read even less.


Terminal Alliance by Jim C Hines

Mysterious Place
by HalTenny (DeviantArt)


Reign of the Fallen by Sarah Glenn Marsh
Reign of the Fallen #1 (Goodreads)
**Not sure on this one. I'm not a big fan of zombies but usually like necromancers. Sometimes when they are done right I'll enjoy them. Here's hoping

(Goodreads)
**I'm guessing this is like the zombies vs unicorns. sci-fi vs fantasy. I like both genres but ten to lean towards fantasy more. I also seem to know more of the fantasy authors here.
