Reading Update
Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge by Paul Krueger. Bartenders keeping humanity safe from horrors from another dimension! This was pretty silly, yet for some reason I read the whole thing.
Shattered Soul, Broken Paths, Stolen Sight, and Fenrisulfr (AIR 1-3, 3.5) by Amanda Booloodian. Ok series about a psychic who works for a secret government agency keeping creatures of myth and legend out of the public eye.
Hammers on Bone and A Song for Quiet (Persons Non Grata 1-2) by Cassandra Khaw. John Persons is a private investigator… or is he? Lovecraftian, and I have no idea what actually happened. Or do I?
A Hat Full of Sky and Wintersmith (Tiffany Aching 2-3) by Sir Terry Pratchett. Excellent young adult fantasy series continuing the adventures of one Tiffany Aching, witch.
