Since I have a Kindle, I signed up for a Facebook service that notifies me of free Kindle books. Most of them don't sound interesting, but I have picked up a few. Having read several of them, I can see why they are free. I cannot remember the last time I gave so many 1- and 2-star reviews in such a short time. Not to say all of them are bad (a few were really good), but the bad have outnumbered the good.

Kindle + Amazon Prime = Win. I plan on eventually buying a Kindle to go with my yearly Prime subscription.

You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones. Remember this, on this journey you insist on making. If you die, I will not survive you long. Dovie'andi se tovya sagain!



People so seldom say "I love you". And then it's either too late or love goes. So when I tell you I love you, It doesn't mean I know you'll never go, only that I wish you didn't have to.

I have a Prime membership too. Being able to rent books once a month is great.

Now that I've finished the Empire trilogy, Jay's got me reading the regular Riftwars series.  In its entirety.

Also, I've discovered a second-hand bookstore.

...I may disappear from the Internet for a while.

So, I'm almost finished with Star Wars: Death Troopers, and may I say that Star Wars + zombies is a great combination.  :D This coming from some one who isn't a fan of stuff dealing with zombies for the most part.

Beranrd Cornwell's Death of Kings. I like Uhtred* (somewhat), but it seems to be getting stale.

* Something I've noticed in many historical fiction novels set in the Middle Ages, the protagonists generally tend to be pretty damned progressive for their time period. That is not to say I want a main character who goes around raping and killing everything in site, and Uhtred isn't the worse, but some of these people have attitudes on sex and religion which would have been revolutionary even in the 1920s.

The entire Codename:Hunter series thus far.  I pre-ordered all the big books and now I have autographed copies with very nice sketches drawn in the frontispiece.

So now I am in furry non-porn heaven. :3

Embedded by Dan Abnett. It's really very good, and nice to see the man working on new IP.

*deep breath* I'm attempting Les Miserables. I'm on chapter XI or so (Volume One: Fantine). It's not as daunting as I thought it would be, and I'm learning a lot about period French politics. So far, so good, but I know I'm barely into the meat of the story at all.

Edit: I've noticed a few minor inconsistencies in my translation, like disappearing accents on words like "curé", and when sometimes they refer to a character as Monseigneur Bienvenu and sometimes, occasionally, as Monseigneur Welcome, sometimes in the same paragraph. It's still readable, but I can't help but think there was more than one translator working on it, and they were all using slightly different conventions. It's not bad, but some consistency would be nice.

I have become addicted to the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon.  Damn you, woman, and your sexy time-traveling Scots!
