Super Equis; Night Way of the Blood Finch
Mar. 18th, 2014 06:58 pmDos Equis, by Anthony Bidulka
Warm, clever, self-aware indulgent fun. Endearing characters, and an intriguing plot. I'm always bummed when I get fully caught up on this series.

Finch, by Jeff VanderMeer
Not as perfectly my sort of book as Shriek: An Afterword was, and a bit too slipstreamy for me sometimes. Still delightful and twisty and as full of the tang of words as a book can be.

Super Graphic, by Tim Leong
SO FUN. Wide-ranging, self-aware, sometimes very funny, always very shiny.

The Way of the Fight, by Georges St-Pierre
If you like MMA, you are probably already planning to read this book, and you will probably be as charmed by it as I was. If not, well, I wouldn't start by reading this. My favorite MMA book (so far) is A Fighter's Heart, by Sam Sheridan, so maybe try that one.

Days of Blood and Starlight, by Laini Taylor
I spent most of this book feeling really good about it WHILE I was reading it, and pretty skeptical about it when I wasn't reading it... but then the ending was totally awesome and satisfying and now I can't wait for the next one.

Night Broken, by Patricia Briggs
Another delightful, absorbing, escapist series entry. (As an aside, expect to see a lot of these kinds of books as I slog my way through the rest of the semester.) (As another aside, Stefan is really growing on me. What is it about honorable non-sparkly vampires?)

(Not-confidential to N: I AM NOW CAUGHT UP ON POSTING. But I'm also most of the way through several different books - so if you're ahead of the pace car, don't slow down!)
