A Tower of Midnight by Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan

I am really glad that I was very high on the hold list for this book. Tor and Brandon Sanderson did a good job getting interest up for this book between the sale of the prologue for $2.99 (I didn't buy it though) and the Great Hunt where Sanderson hid chapter titles for ToM with his Way of Kings books. The chapter titles then decoded a chapter of ToM on Sanderson's website. I only kind of enjoyed the chapter because I am only willing to read a certain amount about how Mat is now married and only looks at women to offer them to his men. Yeah.

Well, this one seems just slightly better than book 8. I don't care for Perrin develops as a wolf person.

The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fford

I'm having a hard time typing today for whatever reason. I'm home alone, so I stayed up way too late last night reading this book and finished it this morning.

I'm not entirely certain why I'm still reading the Thursday Next series. It isn't great, but is okay. This book is also just okay. At least the ending was kind of happy, even if it isn't what I was hoping for.

Starship Sofa Stories Volume 2 edited by Tony C. Smith

I buy the SSS books to support the podcast. I didn't buy the Captain's Logs because I wasn't interested in reading a bunch of "um"s. I was sort of disappointed with this edition because I strongly prefer authors who give stories to SSS. This one contained maybe half people who have contributed stories. But, on the whole, the book was good. Larry Santoro did a neat five minutes and thirty four seconds on one of the episodes where he read a little bit of each story, mostly in different voices for everything.
