Books read while on vacation...

[jaelie]

Oh, yeah. I also managed to read a whole lot of books while we were away. I read during times in-transit, or in the evenings while winding down. Not serious books - all nice, fluffy fiction. Maybe that attributes to the generally well-rested and relaxed feeling I've had this week, in spite of the craziness of being back at work.

I've been unpacking, and while doing so, I've pulled out the books that I've read:

Moon Called, by Patricia Briggs
Storm Front, by Jim Butcher
The Yngling in Yamato, by John Dalmas
Dragonfly in Amber, by Diana Gabaldon
Faro's Daughter, by Georgette Heyer
A Hymn Before Battle, by John Ringo
Gust Front, by John Ringo
A Strange And Ancient Name, by Josepha Sherman
The Protector's War, by SM Stirling
Hocus Pocus, by Kurt Vonnegut

Ten books in seventeen days. Sweet. Like old times. ^_^

Also, I fully intend to read more of the series by Briggs, Butcher and Ringo. Especially since the books can stand alone, in spite of being part of a series. Neat. It's been a while since I've had a reading list for plain old fiction stuff.

I looove Gabaldon, but you knew that.

I'm planning to go on a Vonnegut spree again soon. I was so sad when he died a couple weeks ago. He was always one of my favorites.

I don't have an opinion of Vonnegut yet. Hocus Pocus was interesting, but... It meandered so... I'll probably have to read another of his novels before I actually form an opinion, I think.

May I recommend?

Mother Night
Cat's Cradle

Two of my favorites. :)
