I just finished The Tyrant’s Law by Daniel Abraham. Book 3 of 5 in the Dagger and Coin series. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I’ve become fond of the characters. I’ll wait a bit before buying and starting book 4, though, to mix up my reading some.

I’m reading Dracula as well as Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy as well.

I’ve just finished ‘A Mother’s Reckoning,’ which is about Columbine from the perspective of the mother of one of the shooters. It was a worthy book and haunting too. But candid and constructive as well. Worth reading - especially for parents. Imma start Starship Troopers next. My first read of it and long overdue.

I’m still reading Dracula as well as Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy as well.

I just finished Robert Heinlein’s Starship Troopers after only a few days. It was good stuff. I think I’ll watch the movie again just for giggles. I think I’ll start Lolita next.

I finished a couple more books - both re-reads and both enjoyed. Beam Stoker’s Dracula and George Orwell’s Animal Farm. I didn’t care for Dracula much the first time I read it but I liked it quite a bit this time. I was super-young when I first read Animal Farm and had liked it okay then. Glad I re-read it, too, as it is pretty neat.

I finished a couple more books for my first time. First was John le Carré’s Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, which was a slow burn but I ended up liking it quite a bit. I’m not sure if I’ll read the rest of the trilogy or not. I also read another Boss Fights Books book called Galaga, by Michael Kimball. It was really good and I liked it a lot. Wasn’t sure what to expect for a book on a game like this but it was insightful and even a bit moving.

I finished the first of four books in my Sherlock Holmes compilation: A Study in Scarlet. It was very good! I loved it - simply lived it. The Sign of the Four is next in the compilation. Good times. I don’t think I’ve read it before.

Still reading Stephen King, Daniel Abraham, and Vladamir Nabokov.

Really, 2020? This is the first book I've finished? How dare you. It's a good one with a couple of minor pacing issues. Onward.

[Sharecrow]

Knocked out The Widow’s House by Daniel Abraham, book 4 of 5 of the Dagger and Coin series. It’s good but getting better. Am looking forward to the conclusion. I want to know what happens to these folks.

Still reading Stephen King and Vladamir Nabokov.

Finished two books today apparently, the second being The Sign of the Four by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. And like that I’m two books shy of meeting my goal for 2020. Really liked this Sherlock Holmes book but not as much as the last one. Good times.
Still reading Stephen King and Vladamir Nabokov. I’m starting the next Arthur Conan Doyle and Daniel Abraham books too.
