Actually posting about reading on Wednesday; what a concept!
46. Blood of Tyrants by Naomi Novik
This is the 8th of a 9 book series. Moving the action back across Europe, back to the beginning I'm guessing by the last book. It does help not to read these one right after the other, although not too far apart as there are so many characters and one does tend to forget (especially if one is old - heh). I'm looking forward to seeing how she wraps this up! I'm on a wait list for the last book.
47. Queen Song by Victoria Aveyard
Lessee, I think this is the first of two "interludes" between the main 4 novels. It goes into more detail about a lesser character (the mother of a major character). Expands the plot without expanding the main novels.
48. Steel Scars by Victoria Aveyard
Second of the "interludes". Again, it expands on characterization that is, not exactly brushed over, but not as detailed. I have a "cheat sheet" which tells me which order to read the books and I'm following that. Two more in this series and I'm on the wait list.
49. All By My Selves: Walter, Peanut, Achmed, and Me by Jeff Dunham
As I'm on a wait list for so many books and needed something to read (I must be always reading!), I found this one. Very interesting if you like Jeff Dunham and his act. I do and I did.
50. 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
Just started this so nothing to report just yet. Interestingly, His Lordship was watching a TED talk about a guy who designs covers of books. This particular man, Chip Kidd, was talking about the process of designing the covers of various books (his big one was Jurassic Park) and when I saw the cover of 1Q84 I knew it was to be the next on my list! And so it is.
In other stuff; it's hotter than blue blazes but we've had afternoon thunderstorms and they are causing lightning fires (sigh), we got the house painted, I'm having a massage today.
