I Know BETTER!!

I finished Age Of Odin.  It was GREAT.  I was left wanting more, the characters are such that you care for the Hero and boo the bad guys.  I want everything, and of course some things must be left as they are or the books would never end.  I totally enjoyed the read and plan on finding more books by James Lovegrove.

When I returned to the Library, I found a newer book by one of all time favorite authors Mercedes Lackey.  The book is titled Trio of Sorcery, and has three separate novellas.  And I know what happens almost every time I pick up one of her books.  I stay up until all hours of the night (or morning) to read it!  Which would be OK except my alarm goes off at 4:30 AM!  It took less than 2 days to finish the book, and I will read it again before I give it back.  If you like magic in the real world, you will enjoy the three stories included in this book.  I had to laugh at some of the intros, they were all too true and being old enough for AARP, I remember the times that it recalls. Like the time before computers, Internet and cell phones.

I just picked up another book by another of my all time favorite authors, Elizabeth Moon.  It is set in Paks' World, and is titled Kings of the North, it has just been released!  If you have never read any of Ms. Moon's books, you are missing a lot of great stories.  The very first book in this world was Sheepfarmer's Daughter.  Which I have read 15 to 20 times, along with the rest of the series.  It is about a teenage girl who runs away from home instead of staying and marrying a pig farmer (which was her father's idea).  She ends up as a mercenary plus!  Ms. Moon was in the marines and the detail about the training for war and combat really brings the story to life.  Every time I read it, I get caught up and swept away by the story.  The second book Divided Allegiance is harder to read, because of what happens to the main character.  But the last of the books of Paks Oath of Gold brings everything full circle.

Hopefully I will get a nap before I open Kings of the North, or I will be very tired in the morning.

Good Reading, let me know what you are reading, any suggestions of what to read next?
