FF: I’m Not One of Those

Roary Reads!

I have a pretty good memory, so I’m not one of those readers who needs to re-read all prior books in a series before starting a new one.  Nonetheless, even I like when a new book in a series lets me know how this one relates to the ones before, even when I’m reading a series in order.

A reminder.  The Friday Fragments is not a book review column; it’s a list of what I’m reading and maybe a bit about my opinions.  I always read the comments section and enjoy learning what other people are reading.  Oh, and I don’t usually list shorter works unless in a collection or articles, I also don’t usually list scattered research reading.

Completed:

Witchy Winter by D.J. Butler.  Very different from the first book in the series in that there are numerous plot threads and timelines.  Good use of a wide variety of myth and folklore in an alternate historical setting.

In Progress:

Paladin’s Grace by T. Kingfisher (aka Ursula Vernon).  Audiobook.  I’ve read, but I don’t think I’ve ever listened to it.  The reader is adequate but apparently can’t settle on one pronunciation for some of the names.  But he does Grace very well.  And Tab.

Witchy Kingdom by D.J. Butler.  Just starting.  Unlike Witchy Winter, the opening of which confused me, this has a good solid opening that links without undue repetition to events in the previous book.

Also:

Newest American Archeology.  And some books about guitars.  More on those later.
