Books redux
I read Light Errant, the sequel to Dead of Light, on Sunday, Yes, in one sitting again. Not quite the same slam in and grab the brain effect as the first book, because it's a "what happened next" and I already knew what the setup was, but still a page-turner. Now I'm somewhat bemused as to how to review it without massive spoilers for the first book. In fact, I'd have liked to discuss the first book in a good deal more detail than I did, but held back because of the spoiler issue.
Also need to review the Fake manga series, having finished that a week or two back.
I bounced into Modesty Blaise yesterday courtesy of a discussion on Making Light, but after that I should tackle some more of the book loot from recent cons, and a couple of beta-reading jobs I've been neglecting for the last month.
And maybe try for 300 words on my *own* book, ditto...

What was the discussion?

which was about series *other* than Harry Potter that involved very long waits for the end. There are several series being discussed, but from about post 150 on gets more and more focused on Modesty Blaise, with much pimpage going on. I think we've snagged three new recruits so far.
I pulled out the first book just to skim for a description reference in answer to someone's question, and accidentally found myself half-way through it. Apparently I wasn't the only one. :-) But I was planning to re-read the series in proper order anyway -- I've never actually done that, as they were out of print for many years so I had to read them in whatever order I could borrow them from the library or from friends.
