This was a month for reading historical mysteries, with a dash of urban fantasy.<\/p>\n
I re-read Salsa Nocturna: Stories<\/a><\/em> by Daniel Jos\u00e9 Older<\/a> and still love it. You should really read Daniel Jos\u00e9 Older.<\/p>\n Otherwise, nothing awesome stood out last month.<\/p>\n Historical Mystery<\/strong><\/p>\n Owen Archer<\/strong> Akitada<\/strong> Urban Fantasy<\/strong><\/p>\n Salsa Nocturna: Stories<\/a><\/em> (2012) Daniel Jos\u00e9 Older<\/a> (8.5\/10) I read all eBooks this month. Except for cookbooks, which I REALLY need to review Any Time Now. <\/p>\n Genre breakdown is mostly mystery. As I said.<\/p>\n Fantasy : 2 Gender breakdown is overwhelmingly female, as the initials belong to a female author.<\/p>\n Male : 2 That makes only 18% of the books I read this year by male authors, but I will note that the Akitada books had a male protaganist, while the Owen Archer series series splits the story between multiple characters, but primarily the male and female leads.<\/p>\n And that’s it for the books of August. As temperatures FINALLY drop, I’m hoping for more hiking and less reading in the coming months. <\/p>\n We’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This was a month for reading historical mysteries, with a dash of urban fantasy.
