FF: Capering into Adventure

Over the holidays, I found myself enjoying books that were a little on the lighter side, but with the new year, adventure beckons.

Ogapoge’s Desert Dream

For those of you just discovering this part of my blog, the Friday Fragments lists what I’ve read over the past week.  Most of the time I don’t include details of either short fiction (unless part of a book-length collection) or magazines.

The Fragments are not meant to be a recommendation list.  If you’re interested in a not-at-all-inclusive recommendation list, you can look on my website under Neat Stuff.

Once again, this is not a book review column.  It’s just a list with, maybe, a bit of description or a few opinions tossed in.

Recently Completed:

The Crown Jewels by Walter Jon Williams.

The Hammer of Thor: Magnus Chase and The Gods of Asgard, by Rick Riordan.  Audiobook. Reader did improve as he continued, but I might not have continued if I wasn’t already a fan of the author’s work.

Tricky Twenty-two by Janet Evanovich.  Audiobook.

House of Shards by Walter Jon Williams.  Much more of a farce than the first book, but still enjoyable.

In Progress:

The Wind in His Heart by Charles de Lint.  Just started.  This was one of my Christmas presents, much anticipated!

First Test: Protector of the Small, Book One.  Audiobook.  Re-read.  I don’t think I’ve done these as an audiobook, but I love this series.  I have a cat named Keladry for the heroine.

Also:

Wolf’s Head, Wolf’s Heart by Jane Lindskold.  Getting back into the flow.  The only problem with proofing is I can’t just snuggle down and enjoy.
