A few books I've read lately
Aug. 28th, 2009 11:02 amSince I'm not currently working, I have been reading a lot. In a way, this is good, because I have a backlog of books-to-read a mile high. Hopefully it'll lead to me writing more at some point, though ...
Mild spoilers for the books under the cuts, but nothing massive. Well, except for a long and possibly more spoilery rant about Tigerheart.
Tigerheart by Peter David - Verdict: AVOID! ( AVOID! AVOID! )
The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky and Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett - It was really interesting reading these books right around the same time I read the above. I am not sure if Pratchett intended this book to deal with some of the same ideas as Peter Pan, but it does, and it works, much much MUCH better than Peter David's version. ( FEEEEEEGLES! ♥ *cough* Sorry. )
Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley - ( Really fun urban-fantasy-style take on dragons )
The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan - Sarah Brennan is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarahtales, whose blog I've been watching for a while because she's massively entertaining on pretty much every topic she talks about. I can "hear" her blog voice in this book, especially in one character's dialogue. As to how I feel about the book ... it's sort of a mixed bag? ( Mild spoilers )
