Reading List Update: # 33 - 36

Four more books this weekend. Three keepers and a reject.

33. Storm Front by Jim Butcher. Paperback, 322pp. First of the Dresden Files series. I'm not much into the "urban fantasy" genre, but this was very well done. For a first book, it conveyed a sense of background not fully explained, left hints for things yet to be explored, and every clue-thread brought to the reader's attention early on was woven in again later; that's good craftwork. And I liked the hero. I will definitely be buying more in this series.

34. The Rake's Revenge by Rachelle Edwards. Paperback, 220pp. A regency romance. Terribly formulaic, and the "hero" spends most of the book having an affair with the heroine's married aunt before declaring he's been trying not to fall in love with her all along, swoon, the end. Gak. No.

35. The Outback Stars by Sandra McDonald. Hardcover, 416pp. Interesting. Another of those "female hero in military scifi setting" type stories, but with an Australian twist to it. Well written; I'd like to see more of this universe.

36. A Change of Heart by Lillian Lincoln. Paperback, 216pp. Another regency romance. In contrast to # 34, this was well plotted, witty, and had me grinning and fond of the heroine by the end of it. Good light reading.

Next up: Dragon's Lair, by Sharon Kay Penman. A medieval mystery that looked interesting.
