Quick reviews and shout-outs for the books read this month. July had two classics Asimov and Hesse and modern trilogies in sci fi and mystery/suspense. Follow me on Goodreads as I fall behind in my reading challenge. I’ve read 47/100 books, so I’m nine books behind. Those Grant books were 600 pages each though!

Feed, Deadline, and Blackout by Mira Grant.

I listened to the audiobook of Feed in 2017 while editing Chasing a Cure. I bought the chunky paperbacks of the next two and they sat on shelves until I devoured them this last week. I love zombie books that aren’t about zombies. Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant and I will be Necronomicon this September.

Reasonable, Forget-Me-Not, and Unhinged by K.T. Carlisle

This trilogy of books answers the question of the series title–What Happened to Mia Davis? The first two books have been so twisty and well-planned! Death, cheating, and lies abound. Mystery/Suspense is a tricky genre and this is a spectacular debut. Unhinged arrived today so I’ll be lost in that one!

My first psychiatrist told me reading this book and going to parks would cure my depression. If it was that important, he probably should have given me a copy of Siddhartha and met me in a park. Anyway, I finally got around to reading it 19 years later. I guess I’ll go outside too.

The most I ever hear about the Galactic Empire trilogy is that it was written before his renown Foundation series. People are being nice by saying that. Don’t be a completionist. Skip this and go to the Foundation series. The Stars, Like Dust is early Asimov and the misogyny and nationalism are the most entertaining parts.
