I have to try this. I guess I s...THIS IS AWESOME! I have to try this. I guess I should shoot for Minnow level too. D'Arvit, with the number of books I have already read this summer, Dolphin or maybe even shark (dare I push it?) would be a possibility. If I had seen this coming, I would have saved them!<br /><br />Oh well, moving on...<br />Let me say, Scott Westerfeld is a literary genius. I am now on a Scott Westerfeld fixation. You may or may not have read some of his works already. I started with Leviathan. >http://www.wastedtalent.ca/comic/bonus-which-books-are-discussed<br /><br />....yaaay steampunk<br /><br />If you like historical fiction forensics stuff (which I oddly became a fan of), Mistress of the Art of Death is good. In short, it is centered around a woman who attended this first forensic/medical practitioner institute that saw women as equals in the field itself.<br /><br />Even better would be Medicus. This one is set in the Roman Empire. A summary is found here because it is nearly 11, have VBS tomorrow, and that aside, I am just plain lazy.<br />>http://www.bookbrowse.com/reviews/index.cfm?book_number=1960<br /><br />I love the style of humor in Medicus. It is brilliantly executed to say the least. I would tell you one of my favorite scenes, but I don't want to give it away. (This is truly killing me inside.)<br /><br />So, I know I have only technically listed three books, but all of them have at least a sequel or two. And I would say just about anything that I have read by Scott Westerfeld is fair game. Sadly, I read these all already, and I can't add them to my list.<br /><br />*randomly checks stash of books rescued when moving out*<br />-I am Number Four<br />-The Thirteenth Tale<br />-The Book Thief<br />-Hunger Games Series<br />-Artemis Fowl Series<br />-Blue Blood Series (vampire books that are actually good)<br />-Night World Series (more vampire books that are actually good)<br /><br />(As you can see, I do have several vampire books. In my defense, I am not really a huge fan of the genre, even though my collection would testify otherwise. Honestly, I just like having a back-up plan to deal with die-hard Twilight fanatics. I know that I am entering a touchy subject lol. But I personally think that the books are terrible and I like to have far better alternatives to prove my point.)<br /><br />XD If you have read this far, I truly commend you. Thanks for hearing me out. If you have any book suggestions, they would be very much appreciated.Searching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569670214694377524noreply@blogger.com
