Finally finished Assassin's Quest and loved it. I didn't like the ending much and yet loved it. Kind of like I didn't love the final DT, but understood it. Alas....Anywho; also finished The Deep. I was pretty much rolling my eyes and at times giggling by the end. It was entertaining, but don't break the bank to get a copy.
Did Jason or Freddy hack through this thread??? No updates in 4 days, really??? LOLAnywho..... Finishing up Dead Sea, which is actually pretty good.
I also started Rolling in the Deep on my kindle. I really wanted the physical book, but the prices are ridiculous. Publishers and authors doing limited editions that shoot up the prices.... I mean, I get it. I am not an author; but $70+ for a used 124-page novella???? It's good, but it's not great.

WOW.....I've always been amazed at how much some books, novellas, etc. cost. Even when they are e-books.
I am reading Dr Who books. The current is Palace of the Red Sun with the #6 Doctor and Peri. I am enjoying it. Just finished The Hollow Men with #7 Doctor and Ace.

Anyway, I have my hands full with the TV series. :) And all the other books I'm wanting to read.
Reading Elevation and listening to the audio of the 7th book in the dark tower series. 70% through Elevation according to my Kindle so I should finish it tonight.

Yes these books were written after Seventh Doctor(S Mccoy) and before the new series started.
Just picked up Black Mad Wheel and am enjoying it, so far. Government conspiracy or just weirdness going on?? I don't care, I like it.
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson Friend at work bought it for me out of the blue so I gave him back a HB of Jim Butcher.
So far I’m really enjoying it! It’s been ages since I read a book that’s in the fantasy genre which was the Terry Brooks 4 book Heritage of Shannara series.

Going to start Force of nature by Jane Harper, I flew through The House as mentioned above it was excellent 5☆

Peter Davison was the 5th Doctor. Sylvester McCoy was the 7th.

Peter Davidson was the 5th Doctor, Colin Baker was the 6th Doctor, and then Slyvester McCoy was the 7th Doctor.
I don't know... something about that last election made me start reading BELOVED by Toni Morrison. Never read it before, pretty damn great, there's even an angry ghost. Still re-listening to The Dark Tower 7. Frankly, I don't want it to end. (view spoiler)

When I got to the end of DT7, I could only cry no... over and over. It took me a few days to get over the initial shock. I understand the ending, but I don't like it. :(
Bleak Harbor by Bryan Gruley. It is a kidnapping mystery/thriller. It’s quite good.

"understood it but didn't like it."
I recently finished The Girl in 6E, which was an interesting little thriller about a camgirl with urges to kill so she keeps herself locked in her apartment. It was clearly written by a man with a female pen name (the pun in the title alone gives it away), but it was an interesting read. If there are folks out there looking for your sexy murderess, she's in this book.
Nancy wrote: "Peter Davison was the 5th Doctor. Sylvester McCoy was the 7th"Right....Thank you. Gosh it shows how out of it I am on these things. :-) I don't know if I'll ever get around to reading the books but will add those to my ever GROWING list!
I'm not as familiar with the actors who played The Doctor in the original run. :-)
Just finished:
Black Mad Wheel, and gave it 3.5 Stars. The end was not enough for me. Maybe, I just don't get it, but it sucked. The story was great for having a 2-dimensional main character.

It does, I won it in a giveaway.

I love it, as well. It just gets more interesting as things get more complex and difficult. SILOS!! woooo-hooo
Rhian wrote: "Oh I loved the wool trilogy"Yes; I also read a short story on SAND. It was ruthless and I liked it; so I bought the book!
He also has another out called Beacon 23. I read one part of it already, and it was pretty good. Set in space.
