Name the last three books you have read...

Thanks. I definitely like them, and I'm looking forward to continuing since you said they keep getting better as the series continues. I've started following him and will be checking out all of his stuff at some point.

I'm also looking forward to October 8th for the next Golgatha installment from R.S. Belcher.

Thanks again for the recommendations.

 

As usual, Neil Gaiman wrote a good one.

Another impressive book. I've yet to read anything by NG that I didn't like.

It's short, but it's beautiful & moving!

 

I'm looking forward to that. It'll take me a while to catch up though.

Yeah, that's what crossed my mind when the email from Amazon popped up for the new installment. Belcher is so good at his character development, I can't wait to "see" everyone again. There was just too much potential for more story for it to be over, and I'm so glad he's keeping it going.

 

Yeah, mine too. Probably so; he's evidently he's always writing, the way writers are supposed to and takes the quality of his work seriously. It takes a lot of discipline to stay on top of things, especially when new project ideas tend to pop up all the time. Crossover would be cool if it expanded that universe, but I suppose we'll have to wait and see. That's hard when you have almost no patience. lol

I wish ol' Georgie Porgie Martin was that disciplined, but, alas, he is not. Part of me doesn't care as much as I used to though. I guess I can't talk a lot of smack about undisciplined writers when I'm one of them myself, but at least I'm not leaving a bunch of folks hanging with any release promises.

 

True, and maybe the added pressure to get his stuff done after GOT became so big made it harder for him. As a pro, he doesn't have much excuse though.

Even though it would be awesome to see my name in print on a mainstream kind of level, I don't think I'd enjoy fame. I would love to be making a living at writing, which I should've been disciplined enough to be doing by now. Yeah, life got in the way of that for me, but it doesn't give me much excuse either.

 

Knowing that doesn't make me any less frustrated with myself though. I was born with the spark, so hopefully it won't die before I do.

Yeah, George should have had the whole series out by now.

A solid read with good flow.

These two are another Ron Ripley series with the ghost hunter, Shane Ryan. So far they don't even come close to measuring up to the Berkeley Street Series where the character was introduced. He only has the first two books in the series written so far, and I hope they get better. If the next installment doesn't pick things up, I probably won't bother finishing the series. I've come to expect more out of the author than this.

 

Another great Dresden Files installment by Jim Butcher. I'm amazed that HD was able to survive the craziness in this book.

The lack of conscience and remorse people like this have blows my mind and makes me sick. The writing was a bit too long-winded at times, but overall the book is a solid read. True Crime fans would find it interesting.

In some ways it's hard to take that her parents made the choices they did in regard to their child, but it does make me appreciate that my own mixed child wasn't born in that era. I can just barely begin to imagine how much tougher it was for Black Men, White Women, and their children back in the day.

 

Yep, that's the one. I got an e-coupon for $6 off one of his books, so I did buy the next one, Summer Knight, today. It sounds like it'll be another wild ride for him. I'll have to wait a minute to find out though, since I'd already started another book. I hope more discounts pop up from time to time.

 

I figured as much. He obviously has a knack for topping himself with such a long series. A good book series is better than a TV show IMO. I'm definitely enjoying the ride so far.

 

The first and the third books are the best of the series, and overall I enjoyed it. I read the first book of this series a while back (Demon King), and I finally got around to finishing it. Definitely an author worth following IMO.

I've always been a fan of Sylvia Plath's work, and I was in a poetry reading mood.

 

Great book...can't wait to see what happens next!

The books in this series keep getting better and better. Another great read.

Other than a couple of small plot twists with potential, this book sucks. The pace was soooo sloooow and so full of pointless details, it's probably like what waiting to wake up from a coma feels like. I shouldn't have wasted my time finishing it. A friend of mine raved about this crap and recommended it—I don't think I'll be taking any more book suggestions from her.
