My Year of Shallow Reading

It has been a strange year even though each year seems strange. But one side issue is that although I don't claim to read complicated, important books, I do try to read things that have some substance (whatever that is). But this has been a year of escape.

I just wanted simple, if not always clear, plots and if I got some good character development, all the better

Here is was I've read since this summer and notice it is mostly horror and fantasy/sci fic.

Black Company Series - Glen Cook
1. The Black Company
2. Shadows Linger
3. The White Rose
4. Shadow Games
5. Dreams of Steel
6. Bleak Seasons
7. She Is the Darkness
8. Water Sleeps
9. Soldiers Live

A Song of Ice and Fire series: By George RR Martin
10, A Game of Thrones
11. A Clash of Kings
12. A Storm of Swords
13. A Feast for Crows

Alpha and Omega Series by Patricia Briggs
14. Cry Wolf
15. Hunting Ground

16. Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs
17. The Book of Common Dread by Brent Monahan

I would pretty much read one and then immediately pick up another. I just started the Charlaine Harris vampire books.
