Well, You can't spell "necromancer" without "romance".

Mike is starting Just Like Home
I'm going to leave this on my Reading shelf. But I can't listen to it right now. Sometime when it's not the anniversary of the death of a parent, maybe then it won't be so bad.
But this is very good even with just the first couple pages.

Well, I found the dog.
I still think there's two cats, but that theory hasn't borne fruit yet.

The cover has a dog. Why?
It's a Siamese cat that is the eccentric pretty.
Though I suspect there's two cats, one nice, one mean.
Maybe one of them is a dog in a cat suit.
If so, this is a terrible spoiler to put on the cover.

Mike is 10% done with Questland
Jurassic Park plus Dungeons & Dragons plus Apocalypse Now.
A theme park on an island with a fantasy theme and very high technology has cut itself off from the main land. An English professor is asked to go in with a team to try and get control back.
This is very much my jam. Really neat so far.

I expected Robot Fighting. I didn't expect a joke about an Emperor who was 2nd, 4th and 8th of his name and how he outlawed Time Travel.
This is very fun.

Mike is 50% done with Vermilion: The Adventures of Lou Merriwether, Psychopomp
This has everything I look for in a western: talking bears, patent medicine and a Chinese ghost hunter.

Mike is 40% done with Inside Man (Sam Capra, #4)
It took me until 40% of the way through to realize this is a crime thriller version of King Lear. And one of the characters is named Cordelia! That should have been a big clue.

Mike is 47% done with Angelmaker
This is very long. Like I feel that it's longer than other audio books that I've listened to that are similar lengths.
It's also kind of rambling and a little hard to follow at times. Lots of characters, and flashbacks that come out of nowhere and don't always present themselves as flashbacks have made it a little hard to follow.

I didn't expect this to be quite as focused on a single individual.
