Books You've Recently Read

@tonka have you read the Book of Swords series by Fred Saberhagen? It has a lot of Greek Mythology as its backdrop. They’re good reads if you haven’t read them yet.

Meh…as a historical work it was alright.

Downloaded Empire of the East collection and The First Book of Sword, but with my backlog of books, might be some time before I get to them.

Recently finished Desperation by Stephen King again not long ago. Very good read, I would suggest it!

Not very good: prose is too long winded and leaves something to be desired, relying to much on ‘questionable’ sources…just not good in general for a subject matter that sound truly interesting.

Into the resell box…

I started reading The Wind Through the Keyhole by Stephen King, it’s a book he added to the Dark Tower series. Really good so far, but I had to return it to the library before I could finish, gonna have to buy it!

An ‘oldie’ (2007) from the shelf.
Espionage/Supernatural/Sci-Fi

Meh, still okay but not enough to keep and take up space.

Into the box.

This is excellent. :smile:

UPDATE (cause can only post three at a time) :confused:

An entertaining quick read.
Slice of life, lo-fi, chill to it.
What your adventurer does after they retire from adventuring.

Picture the anime Shining Hearts, but more D&D-esque.

For 3/0 bucks on Kindle/Unlimited, sure.
$12 for paperback…um, probably not.

6/15

It’s Conan…with the serial number filed off.
Starts off solid enough, but kinda tapers off there at the end.

Still, I’ll read the second book when/if it comes out.

7/30

Andromeda Strain meets Dawn of the Dead
Not bad.

some of the many I’ve read over the past few weeks…


A pretty good read, not great mind you, but entertaining nonetheless.
Adventures of a mercenary company.


Too bad the sequel doesn’t continue that path.
The less said the better.
