@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!
Meh…It’s alright.
Quick read.
‘Fish out of water’ trope in this D.C. ‘political thriller’.
Still going in the Half Price box.
Been rereading my old Resident Evil novels…
Finished with the first 3…
4 more to go…
What the new Resident Evil movie should have been more like.
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.
UPDATE (cause can only post three at a time)
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.
