I have just finished a remakably good thriller, Five Decembers by James Kestrel which I strongly recommend (do not be put off by the cover - this is not a bodice ripper although it does include a love story): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTPO5U7q0EI

Now delving back into SF with Hammerfall by the ever impressive C J Cherryh.

I just finished Old Man's War by John Scalzi. Wow! Just wow!

I somehow find myself deeply mired in the WOT series, which I never finished. It just went on and on and then Jordan died. I quit in a fit of pique when it was announced that Brandon Sanderson was taking over; I'm not a fan . However, I decided I really should get to the end, having invested so much time in the series.

Hagatha, life is too short for unrewarding reading, however reluctant one may be to admit defeat...!


And, LadyK, glad to see you enjoyed The Old Man's War - wonderful stuff: have you read the whole series yet?

I will be ordering the rest of the series, Lex. Right now I'm in the middle of Accomplice to the Villain, the 3rd book in the the Villain series by Hannah Nicole Maehrer. They're fun fantasies mixed with romance and some serious themes, and I've grown very fond of the characters, except for the king. (Hiss! Boo!) Assistant to the Villain and Apprentice to the Villain are the first two books and should be read in order.
