The weather finally turned nice, so I’ve been spending much more time outside, than I have lying on the sofa reading, so only nine books this month.<\/p>\n
And I’m okay with that.<\/p>\n
YA Fantasy<\/strong><\/p>\n One re-read here, as a reminder of the world of The Talent Chronicles. All of these books are excellent, and I highly<\/em> recommend them.<\/p>\n Impulse Control<\/a><\/em> (2011) Susan Bischoff<\/a> (9\/10) The Talent Chronicles Supernatural Fantasy<\/strong><\/p>\n Ups and downs here–some really good stuff and some stuff I didn’t much like. I have got to read more Kelly Armstrong. And ML Brennan has been quite good.<\/p>\n Iron Night<\/a><\/em> (2014) M.L. Brennan<\/a> (8.5\/10) Generation V Mystery<\/strong><\/p>\n Only one mystery, and this in a series that I either love the story or can hardly finish the story. This was a love.<\/p>\n The Indian Bride<\/a><\/em> (2001\/2005) Karin Fossum<\/a> translated by Charlotte Barslund (8\/10) Inspector Sejer<\/p>\n Everything I read was an eBook. Which I no longer find surprising, although I still have a few paper books on pre-order (primarily comics\/graphic novels which I don’t like reading on an eReader).<\/p>\n Mostly fantasy (specifically supernatural fantasy), but some stories dabbled in multiple genres.<\/p>\n Fantasy<\/strong>: 8 I read primarily female authors this month, including on female writing under initials.<\/p>\n Male<\/strong>: 1 Here’s where I am for the year: That comes out to 47% female authors and 42% male authors, which is more in line with how I usually read–a relatively close split weighted just a bit towards female authors.<\/p>\n Again, if you’re looking for something new to read, I highly recommend YA. And you can always go over to my book blog<\/a> and browse the categories for 8<\/a>, 9<\/a>, & 10<\/a> rated books, to see what I really loved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The weather finally turned nice, so I’ve been spending much more time outside, than I have lying on the sofa reading, so only nine books this month.
