The Books of December
And it’s the end of December, so time for the books I read this past month!
Best books of the month were Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings, which is an old favorite I have read many, many times. Fate’s Edge by Ilona Andrews was another re-read of a book I loved.
And here’s what I read:
Epic Fantasy
The Belgariad
Pawn of Prophecy (1982) David Eddings (10/10)
Queen of Sorcery (1982) David Eddings (8/10)
Magician’s Gambit (1983) David Eddings (9/10)
Supernatural Fantasy
Generation V
Tainted Blood (2014) M.L. Brennan (7.5/10)
Supernatural Romance

The Edge
On the Edge (2009) Ilona Andrews (8/10)

No Good Duke Goes Unpunished (2013) Sarah MacLean (6/10)

Female – 3
Initials – 1
