I’ve had hockey on the brain which makes me a bad blogger here sometimes.  But I do do quite a lot of reading during September.  I don’t feel I’m any good at book reviews, and I read 3 books so I’ll spare everyone who read this from my poor attempts at reviewing the books.

I started with The Balkan Escape by Steve Berry.  It was a short story to prepare you for the next book in the Cotton Malone series, The Emperor’s Tomb.  It was such a quick read, I almost felt bad about listing it.  Though it did kick off my little reading binge, so it made the list.  It’s only available in eBook format, which was fun.  I love reading eBooks, so it was no problem at all for me.  I can’t wait for November and the release of Emperor’s Tomb!

Next up was The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova.  It was a good book but felt a bit plodding at times and took me much longer to read than I thought it would.  I just couldn’t dive in for extended reading sessions.  I had to take some breaks.  I think I preferred Kostova’s first book, The Historian.  If she releases a new book, I’ll give it a try, but my expectations are lowered a bit.

I ended the month with 206 Bones by Kathy Reichs.  I’ve read every book in the Temperance Brennan series and I always enjoy them!  As always with Kathy Reichs, this was a great book.  I’ve never been disappointed by one of the Temperance Brennan books.  I have another on my iPad waiting to be read. 🙂
