This Week's Reads

I requested these three books from the library to end the year with. I went with the next book in series that I know I like. Trying to end the year on a high reading note.

Because I'm Watching by Christina Dodd
Virtue Falls #3 (Goodreads)
**I started this series as a break from UF/PNR, but did not want a plain mystery or plain romance. I like how the romance is there but there is enough suspense, action, and a good mystery with great characters to keep me reading.

Age of Swords by Michael J Sullivan
The Legends of The First Empire #2 (Goodreads)
**This series takes place 3000 years before the Riyria chronicles (series). I had never heard of either series or author before I requested book 1 from netgalley. I ended up really liking Age of Myth and could not wait to continue the adventure. I also like the fact that all five books of this series are already finished they just need to be published.

Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews
Kate Daniels #9 (Goodreads)
**Still not sure why I took so long to start this series but now I cannot stop reading them. I just started this summer and am ready to read book 9. Kate's path to someday kill her father, her relationship with Curran, and the adventures that come with trying to save Atlanta have kept me entertained, engaged, and unable to put them down until I get to the end.

This Week's Reads

~Only two this week. Still catching up on some books from previous weeks.

Alistair Grim's Odditorium by Gregory Funaro
Odditorium #1 (Goodreads)
**I actually saw the second book in this series first and loved the cover. It's design is like this one but in mostly teals. I have better luck with MG books when I pick them up based on the cover first.
A 12 yr old chimney sweep becomes apprentice to Grim at the Odditorium which is home to countless enchanted objects and an eccentric crew.

Age of Myth by Michael J Sullivan
The Legends of the First Empire #1 (Goodreads)
**Received this from the publisher and netgalley.
I've not read anything from this author but have been wanting to. Saw this on netgalley and decided to request it. It takes place long before his Riyria series but does not rely on or spoil anything of that series.

This Week's Reads

**I managed to read/start all my books from last week,I don't think I will get to all of this week's.

House Immortal (House Immortal #1) by Devon Monk
Goodreads
**I've just started this one. It is interesting so far. Still in the early stages trying to figure out how the world is set up and works.

Down The Rabbit Hole ~ Anthology
J.D. Robb, Mary Blayney, Elaine Fox, Mary Kay McComas, R.C. Ryan
Goodreads
**Picked this up for the J.D Robb story. Will try a few of the others but might not read them all.

Iced (Fever #6) by Karen Marie Moning
Goodreads
**I really enjoyed reading the original 5 books from this series. I'm worried about this living up to those books.

The Crown Tower (The Riyria Chronicles) by Michael J. Sullivan
Goodreads
** Came across these and decided to give them a try. I'm going to try reading them in chronological order rather than release date order.
