Time Traveler's Wife is the perfect break from exhausting books.

I'm getting lost in it, so it must be good.

Eek.

My girlfriends comment:

Maggie Smith as Granny Weatherwax, and Miriam Margolyes as Nanny Ogg.

As for me, reading more Feist: Serpent War book 1 - Shadow of a Dark Queen.

Nope. Everyone who comes to mind would be too old by now. Not necessarily a dealbreaker, but how old is Magrat supposed to be? Early 20s?

It's never specified, but looking online, 30ish appears to be the general consensus.

Nothing new, so I'm trying to finish off some of the ones I started and didn't finish. Right now that means Heinlein's I Will Fear No Evil, which is... odd.

Haha, yeah, one of his last books, and things did start getting a little strange. I don't hate it, but it's really not one of my favourites.

Shards of a Broken Crown, last of the Serpent War books by Feist.

Eh, dunno what to read. Have half-heartedly started Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon, which is an Arthurian re-telling from the women's point of view, but struggling to get into it.

Ian Irvine still ... kinda meh but Im committed to the series end

Posted: **Mon May 25, 2020 3:23 pm**

I took a break from Heinlein to read If Chins Could Kill, followed by another chapter of this Jefferson biography I've been reading for ten years, and last night I started Dr Sleep. I've read enough King to know there are good ones and bad ones, and 50 pages in I can tell this is a good one.

Posted: **Tue May 26, 2020 6:17 am**

Must get that one. Haven't got around to it yet.

I started this series called something about Seven Isles (the problem with the Kindle is that I sometimes forget the name of the book I'm reading). It seemed bland, and I got bored, so I read The Murmur of Bees by Sofia Segovia (I think?) which had fantastic elements, although because it was written in Spanish by a Mexican it might be considered Latin American Transcendentalist or something. Anyway, it was really good! Then I realized I wanted to know what happened to the good looking white people in the Seven Isles thing, so I'm back reading that. It's not bad, there's just something insipid about the writing style. Great world, interesting characters, decent return-of-the-king plot, just seems like it was written for white people. Lol.

War in Heaven, by David Zindell. God, it's taken me forever to get through this series, but I'm still really enjoying it

Recently finished The Tiger's Daughter by K Arsenault Rivera.
