I'm alive!

And I've read many books since the last time I was here! So, last 10 books I've read, in no particular order:

1. Cast in Peril, Michelle Sagara. This one is a re-read, leading up to the release of Cast in Sorrow. One more freaking, "demonstrably" thrown in and I would have thrown the book. I love this series, but someone please give Michelle Sagara a list of synonyms!

2. Tarnished and Torn, Juliet Blackwell. I'm still finding this series a stretch. I love her Haunted Home Renovations series, this one I think is going to be a pass from now on. It just isn't doing it for me. Funny how you can love one series, and just not like another by the same author!

3. Magic Rises, Ilona Andrews. Honestly, I think I am in a slump reading-wise. I love this series, but this book just failed to grab my attention. It's technically not a "read" book, since I've yet to finish, but I don't think it will end up on the unfinished shelf. Eventually I will get back to it.

4.- 10. Cast in... Did I mention I re-read the entire series in the last few weeks? Cast in Courtlight is one of my favorites still. I love a series that is re-readable and I still enjoy most of these books.

Anyway, I really am in a reading slump. I've Kevin Hearne's Hunted waiting for me to read it, after months of waiting and now I am just sort of meh. I've got another book, with a short story from Seanan McGuire that I've been waiting ages to get my hands on, finally read it in a break at work today and felt kind of let down. Mind you, it's nice to have the background, but....

Next up is Carniepunk, another books of short stories, so maybe it will pull me out of my funk.

And maybe next post we'll talk about the series books that I've read lately that made me decide I was done with some favorite series for good.
