2020 BOOK TRACKER #30 - #38

[wickedwords]

Quick update - These are the books I finished over the last couple of months.  I am currently working on "The City We Became", which is definitely a thinky-think type of book.  It'll take me more time than I thought to get through it.

Fantasy/Horror
30. Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #1) by Muir, Tamsyn

31. Come Tumbling Down (Wayward Children Series, #5) by McGuire, Seanan 
 I may have already talked about these two.  I liked the mystery/quest aspects of both stories a lot.

Gay Paranormal Romance

32. Single White Incubus (Supernatural Selection #1) by Russell, E.J.

33. Vampire With Benefits (Supernatural Selection #2) by Russell, E.J. 
37. The Druid Next Door (Fae Out of Water, #2) by Russell, E.J. 
  I like the Supernatural Selection series more than the Fae Out of Water.  I skip read a lot of Druid Next Door.

Urban Fantasy

34. Boundary Haunted (Boundary Magic, #5) by Olson, Melissa F. 
  I have read so many books set in this universe -- I think 3 or 4 series worth -- that they are blurring together.  Need a break before I do another one.

SF

35. Star Trek: Discovery: The Way to the Stars by McCormack, Una 
  16 year old Tilly runs away from boarding school.  It is what it says on the label. :)
 

36. The Fated Sky (Lady Astronaut, #2) by Kowal, Mary Robinette 
  Not quite up to the calculating stars, but still good. I'm excited for the next one too.
 

38. Network Effect (The Murderbot Diaries, #5) by Wells, Martha 

 I still love murderbot and ART. :)

I quite enjoyed Gideon the Ninth. It's a genre mashup -- fantasy with SF elements plus the supernatural. I'm looking forward to the next installment. I am delighted to see someone else has read and liked it.

Where would you suggest I start with Una McCormack? I would love a series with lots of books in the same universe. I need some stability in my reading life. I am rereading the Discworld books after letting NK Jemisin rip my heart apart. She is a lovely, evocative writer with a ruthless approach to her characters that most time I would revel in but right now I just cried through the entirety of The Fifth Season. I'm taking a little break from that right now.

I hope you and yours are all safe and well! <3

Melissa F Olson wrote the Scarlett Bernard Series as that's the first series -- but I like the second series (the Allison luther series) better. I think all 6 books in the first two series are available on kindle unlimited if you have it, or are frequently on sale at amazon. I wasn't able to get copies of those from the library.

The Una McCormack book is a one off of the ST:Discovery media tie in novels. I don't know what else she has written, but I may look it up. :)

Things are good here. We get on each other's nerves on occasion, but nothing outrageous. I hope things are good for you too.
