    I did, in fact, reread Dead Heat. I always forget how much I enjoy her writing...not sure what I'm after next...

    So I found a copy of Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs at Walmart over the weekend. I don't usually buy books there for many reasons but I bought it.

    OMG!!! Totally WICKED! I like her books. Really. I've been reading her stuff since the Mercy Thompson series started (Iron Kissed about killed it for me, not because it wasn't good...but it was very...triggering). I went back and read all her earlier stuff. I like her. But this?!? WOW!

    I just finished How The Word Is Passed by Clint Smith and can't recommend it enough. He has a way with words and even his prose can often sound poetic.
    I'm now listening to The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa by Neil Peart. The first of his traveling books that I had initially read almost 25 years ago.

    Tanya Huff's The Better Part of Valor. Read Valor's Choice Sat and decided the series deserved another go. She's pretty funny.

    In my attempt to find something frivolous for light summer reading... Unwifeable: A Memoir by Mandy Standtmiller.

    I'm just beginning, so don't yet know what I'm reading, but... Courtney Love described it as 'dark, messy, scary good', so I had to try it. Cannot imagine what Courtney could possibly consider dark.

    just finished The Fisherman by John Langan- one of the best horror stories and books I've read in years. highly recommend.

    and just started The House on the Borderland by William Hodgson- old horror story that inspired a lot of writers of the same. good and creepy so far.

    Just finished Yes, We (Still) Can by Dan Pfeiffer. Not sure what my next book is going to be. Chuck Wendig's The Book of Accidents is coming out in a few days so I might hold off on starting another audio book, but I'm also in the middle of reading John Scalzi's Old Man's War.

    Weird one, but "On Occult Philosophy" (De Occulta Philosophia) by Cornelius Agrippa. Translated because my Latin isn't quite that good...

    And I started with vol. 2 because couldn't find vol. 1 :D

    Once you figure out what is actually taking place you better hope you have book 2.
