It's Monday, and I'm Baaack....

There really is no good reason that I've been lacking in the blogging department.  More like lack of the slightest, teeniest, minute bit of ambition or "get up and go" (or in this case, get to the couch and SIGN IN TO BLOGGER...).  So there's no reason to bore you with any reasons - it just wasn't happening for me.

I think I've even lost track of some of the books I've been reading - but I'll just go with what I can recall for now, focusing on my most recent reads.

Hosted by Sheila of Book Journey - It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is a fun weekly blog where bloggers/readers get together (in a virtual way, of course) to see what we've all been up to.  Since my last meme post, I've read quite a few books, but since last week or so ....

 Recently finished reading short story e-books.  Painless is written by Naomi Clark who is a writer from the UK.  You Can't Shatter Me is a YA short story by Tahlia Newlan - an author from Australia.  Her story is something called magical realism - think of Alice Hoffman, Sara Addison Allen - it's reality with a touch of magic.


Also finished reading Mirror Space by Marianne De Pierres (omg - I LOVE reading her SciFi).  Her books are so engrossing...  I also finished reading the first two in a SciFi series by Joel Shepherd (and those will probably be the only two I'll read) -

 Crossover and Breakaway of the Cassandra Kresnov series. The books were good - action, intrigue, plenty of good dialogue and characters...unfortunately, this was just about cancelled out by the overwhelming amount of political infodumps...SO. MANY. WORDS.

A few more of the interesting books I've finished in the last week or two have been Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig (Urban Fantasy) and Camera Obscura, a steampunk by Lavie Tidhar.  Both of these books were page turners.

Most recently finished was Nightshifted an UF by Cassie Alexander.  An interesting read.

At the moment, I'm re-reading on Kindle a short story from Suzanne McLeod titled Full Scale Demolition and in print I'm going back and forth between In Fury Born by David Weber and a memoir called Look Me In The Eye.  The memoir is about living with Asberger's Syndrome before it was diagnosed. whew!
