I’ve had hockey on the brain which makes me a bad blogger here sometimes.\u00c2\u00a0 But I do do quite a lot of reading during September.\u00c2\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
I started with The Balkan Escape by Steve Berry<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a short story to prepare you for the next book in the Cotton Malone series, The Emperor’s Tomb.\u00c2\u00a0 It was such a quick read, I almost felt bad about listing it.\u00c2\u00a0 Though it did kick off my little reading binge, so it made the list.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s only available in eBook format, which was fun.\u00c2\u00a0 I love reading eBooks, so it was no problem at all for me.\u00c2\u00a0 I can’t wait for November and the release of Emperor’s Tomb!<\/p>\n Next up was The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a good book but felt a bit plodding at times and took me much longer to read than I thought it would.\u00c2\u00a0 I just couldn’t dive in for extended reading sessions.\u00c2\u00a0 I had to take some breaks.\u00c2\u00a0 I think I preferred Kostova’s first book, The Historian.\u00c2\u00a0 If she releases a new book, I’ll give it a try, but my expectations are lowered a bit.<\/p>\n
