book list, July 2009
Aug. 3rd, 2009 01:33 amIt's time for the continuing adventures of Liz and her reading list! These are the books I read in July 2009. (Click on the cuts for summaries and reactions. I reserve the right to spoil all hell out of any book if spoilery bits are what I feel like talking about.)
New: 4
---The Empty Chair, Diane Duane ( sci-fi )
---Branded by Fire, Nalini Singh ( romance )
---Uhura's Song, Janet Kagan ( sci-fi )
---Lisey's Story, Stephen King ( fiction/horror )
Old: 0
July Total: 4 books (plus several magazines, a few newspapers, and a ridiculous amount of fanfiction)
Year to Date: 50 books (29 new, 21 old)
---------------
I meant to read more, but I have been perniciously distracted by fanfic in general, by RemixRedux 7 in particular, and by attempting to watch streaming episodes of Heroes season 3 on Hulu over a very persnickety wireless connection -- in other words, it took me an average of three hours to watch each 45-minute episode. *sigh*
Also, I did start a couple other Star Trek novels, but either they didn't grab me or, as with Best Destiny, I was so put off by the writing that I set them down and have not yet got around to trying again. (There are only so many times I can read the phrase 'buff curls' with a straight face, for example. Diane Carey, I am looking right at you.)
