I am way behind on posting my reading. I read the new Anthony Horowitz, 'Moonflower Murders.' It was awesome. Still would like to discuss his books - there's so much to discuss!

I also finished the 4th Aunt Dimity book, 'Aunt Dimity Digs In.' Those are great for light-hearted entertainment.

And I've been catching up on Lindsay Buroker - since I last wrote I read the 3rd book in the Death Before Dragons series (urban fantasy with dragons, elves, etc). So far I haven't gotten as sucked into this series as her others', but still enjoying it - and the audiobooks are on hoopla! (except for some stupid reason the 4th one).

And I read two more books in her Star Kingdom series, 'Planet Killer' and 'Homefront.' This series I've really gotten into, and will hopefully read the final book before christmas - although I'm a little bummed there doesn't seem to be an audiobook for it yet. The Star Kingdom series has everything you could want in a space opera, so if you're looking for anything in that ballpark (or just want an entertaining read full of characters who try to do the right thing), check it out! There are roboticists, knights, androids, biochemists, princesses - they have EVERYTHING!

And finally, still working my way through PD James - I went a little out of order because I was on hold for one of them - so I've read through 'A Taste in Death' (probably my least favorite so far), but skipped over 'Black Tower' which I just got checked out and will start soon.
