Hotter than Hell - Mark Tushingham

I first heard about this book on BoingBoing.  purplejavatroll and I couldn't resist going down to Greenwoods and ordering a copy.  I wanted to like this book.  I wanted to be entertained by an educated insider's take on global climate change and political upheaval.

( No, sir, I didn't like it )

So, this year this is the book I will not finish, I guess.

Dead Witch Walking - Kim Harrison

Best cure for getting that icky taste out of your head...well done pulp.

I liked this book a lot.  Which is good, since wstockall lent me all four of the ones he had.

The Good, the Bad, and the Undead - Kim Harrison

Yes, as a matter of fact I did tear right through the first two books.  They're a quick read and I was loving it.  And also, I'm about 3 weeks behind on updating LJ with my reading habits.

(Oops!  I just realized that I've missed a book here.  Anyway.)

This one was also fun and Kim Harrison has a knack for writing a fascinating main character that I would gladly throttle some sense into.  Um.  :-)

Gridlinked - Neal Asher

I read this over our camping trip to Aylmer and apparently forgot to write it down.

This was good, although the ending left me wondering if there was another book and if so what that book would be about.  Because I didn't get the impression that everything was exactly resolved if you know what I mean.  So I could see reading more of his stuff.

Every Which Way But Dead - Kim Harrison

I tell you, even though each one ends with the primary action resolved, somehow there's a strong feeling of "cliffhanger" leading into the next book.  Still liking it.  Really curious now to see how the relationship threads will get tangled.  And the magic.  And, um, which bad guys are bad guys.  :-)

Ethan of Athos - Lois McMaster Bujold

Somewhere in the middle I grabbed this off of wstockall's shelf.  I hadn't read it before.  Classic LMB, of course.  Which is why I borrowed it.
