Books

So, lot's of reading done last few weeks. Finished Charles Stross' "Neptunes brood", liked that one. Then something different, David Baldacci's "To die for". An okay book, reads nicely but somewhat formulaic. It also seems Baldacci had some trouble combining the current state of the world into this one. Still, Baldacci is always an easy pick if you want something to read without having to think it over a lot. Next was Tom Holt's "The Good, the Bad and the Smug", I had it on my e-reader, don't remember why I downloaded it. It was a really nice read, and I wasn't hindered by it being the fourth book in a series. Started the next one of the series "An orc on the wild side", but stopped after reading about 1/5th of it. I had some stressfull stuff going on and couldn't get into the story. Switched to Andrew Child's "In too deep", been reading the Reacher series throughout the years. Same as for Baldacci with this one; nice to read without thinking too much.

I decided to find something new to read, and picked Becky Chambers' "The long way to a small, angry planet". Liked it a lot, so read the next book in the series "A closed and common orbit", and am now 2/3rd through "Record of a spaceborn few". I have to say I liked the first a lot better than the other two, the books start too slow and I find them difficult to get into. So after this probably a switch to another series, we'll see which one.
