I still manage to read though, not as much as before but I am happy with it. "Gallow" and "The Thousand Names" are on my reading list too and hopefully I'll get to them until the end of the year. I had a couple of steampunk books read over the summer but I guess this genre is not exactly for me. They didn't work as well as I hoped they would. Well, it was not exactly my genre before either. :)<br /><br />Jeff, I had "The Devil All the Time" on my reading list ever since it was nominated for the Shirley Jackson Award last year. Unfortunately I didn't get around to read yet. That needs to be corrected. And both "The Name of the Wind" and "Something Wicked This Way Comes" are two of my favorites. Wonderful books. :)Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-31667700957989681522013-10-03T03:23:29.963+03:002013-10-03T03:23:29.963+03:00"The Devil All the Time" was pretty darn..."The Devil All the Time" was pretty darn good, as was "Name of the Wind" (yea I'm a bit behind the trend). <br /><br />But, I really had a great time going back to good old Ray Bradbury and reading "Something Wicked this Way Comes." The way he writes is just so un-self-conscious and fun, it reminded me of the simple joy of reading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-49416848878914758762013-10-01T20:53:41.886+03:002013-10-01T20:53:41.886+03:00Dear Mihai,

Fortunately now I have some days off - kind auf autumn holiday- which I used for reading.<br />I enjoyed several steampunk books like<br />SHERLOCK HOLMES THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES by James Lovegrove, THE EXECUTIONER'S HEART by George Mann, GIDEON SMITH AND THE MECHANICAL GIRL by David Barnett, <br />Furthermore I enjoyed the blend of fantasy and historical fiction GALLOW: THE CRIMSON SHIELD by Nathan Hawke;sci-fi CASSASTORM by Alex J. Cavanaugh whicht is the third and final CASSA book.<br />Anyway I can recommend two of my current reads:<br />epic fantasy THE THOUSAND NAMES by Django Wexler; time travel BLACKOUT by Connie Willis.<br /><br />I must say I have been lucky with the books I chose to read. There was only one which has been good but nothing for my taste: AURORARAMA by Jean-Christophe Valtat.<br /><br /><br />ediFanoBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129248787624088717noreply@blogger.com
