Huh, not a terrible reading month. There are a few standouts too.
Firstly, Conqueror by Anna Hackett. It's the last book in the series and it's wonderful. There's a bonus epilogue for the whole series and if you're reading the series, make sure you get it. The link is at the back of the book.
I've gotten back into listening to audiobooks again. I find that I enjoy listening to something for the half hour or so it takes for me to get ready in the morning. I've loved incorporating listening to an audiobook as part of the process. I got through two during this last month, the first two books of the Outbreak Taskforce series by Julie Rowe, Viable Threat, and Smoke and Mirrors. Both fantastic and I loved the narration by Jeffrey Kafer who happens to be one of my favorite narrators.
Other than that, there were a few books that hit me just right at the moment when I read them and for that, they got all the stars. Those include Captured by Ella Goode, Hacker by Cassie Mint (this is a reread and I *KNOW* I love it), Priestess Of The Nile by Veronica Scott, Unicorn Vet by Zoe Chant, Operation: Wolf Rescue, also by Zoe Chant, As If I Wouldn't Fall by Jessa Kane, Brother Wolf Of Piston by TS Joyce (of course!), and Second Bite by SJ Tilly. I'm gonna be honest. None of these are going to win literary awards, but reading them made me happy and feel good, and that's all that matters.
I'm stupid busy for December. It's the silly season and I'm also trying to wrap up work for the year. We have a holiday booked away for two weeks in the middle of January and I need to get a lot of stuff done by then. Sigh!
That's it from me. What did you read this last month? Do leave a comment and let me know.
Stay tuned for what Helen read too.
Find Deanna around SOCIAL MEDIA:
Not too bad a month, a couple of long reads in there too, the longest being the Nora Roberts at 508 pages. Average pages per book were only 243 though, which is as usual.
ReplyDeleteI'm also noting the locations of the stories too. Most were sci-fi and mostly set in other universes. After that it's the USA.
Glad you enjoyed the Veronica Scott book. I'm only part way through that series, but I've read all her other books. I love her writing
1 His Christmas Guardian by Cindy Dees. Runaway Ranch #4
2 Klutz:Phoenix Down. But did you Die by Sedona Ashe. Book 1

Gill
Hey Gill, that's some good reading you've got there. I did enjoy Priestess of the Nile. It's my first Veronica Scott and I've been meaning to read her for ages.
DeleteDid you love the ending for Conqueror? And how awesome was the bonus epilogue?
Yes, it was a great ending. Setting up trouble for the future though. I can imagine some descendent blundering in. Lol
DeleteGill
Well, with an extended epilogue like that with all the kids, I can see people asking for the next generation of stories. A lot of people constantly ask for next generation stories for Hell Squad.
DeleteYou had a good month of reading and it sounds like you enjoyed them and that is the main thing, I do hope things settle down for you I too am way behind in all things Christmas in my house :)
ReplyDeleteHave Fun
Helen
Yes, I did focus on just reading stuff I knew I would enjoy. I didn't have it in me to get too adventurous. Still pretty much the same right now as I am getting ready for Christmas. So busy!!!
