This Week's Reads

Temeraire, Celestial
by  DanielGovar (DeviantArt)

DragonSworn by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Dark Hunters #28 (Goodreads)
**Still one of my favorite series even though I didn't care for the last one. I've seen some good things about this one and cannot wait to start it.

Magic Strikes by Ilona Andrews
Kate Daniels #3 (Goodreads)
**My new UF series of the moment. I cannot stop reading them and grab one every week at the library. While I really like the characters, I have to say the world Andrews has created is so interesting to me. It has as much of an impact on the story as any of the characters.

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
(Goodreads)
**I enjoy learning about mythology. Norse is one that I do not know a lot about. I know some basics (from some movies) but that's about it. Interested to hear the stories from Gaiman's voice.

What I'm Reading

Another weird/ bad reading week with nothing to really write a review on. I'm having trouble settling on a book and sticking with it for any length of time.

Prince of Fools (Goodreads)
by Mark Lawrence

**I haven't read anything by this author before. I'm liking the world even if I'm not sure about the main character so far. Hard to get behind a guy who starts the book off describing himself as a coward.

The Night Circus (Goodreads)
by Erin Morgenstern

**Trying another audio book. My problem so far is that if I'm not doing something on my laptop I find myself wanting to pick up a book even though I'm listening to one.

Marvel 1602 (Goodreads)
by Neil Gaiman

**Was looking for something different to read while on the road. Saw this while looking through the graphic novels at the library. I like both Neil Gaiman and Marvel so had to give it a try.
