I only have two books to update that I've read lately. I think I might be missing one or two. That's what I get for not talking about books right after I've read them.

Shockball by S.L. Viehl - This is book 4(?) in the StarDoc series. I enjoyed this book much more than the previous book in the series. I thought the medical/disease mystery in this one was a little more interesting because it wasn't some strange alien virus that she had to seek out a cure for. We also saw the elimination of one of the main baddies that's been pursuing Cherijo across the galaxy, so it will be interesting to see how the series develops without that foil in their way.

Death Masks by Jim Butcher - I have sort of a roller coaster relationship with the Harry Dresden books. When I start them I'm always a little bored in the beginning, then I really get into them, then I get to a point where I'm going 'come on, come on, get on with it', and finally the endings always just pull me in. This book was no different. Now, that isn't to say that I don't like the Harry Dresden series, I love it. Harry, the Shroud of Turin, the return of Susan, the Knights, and lots of ugly baddies - what more could you ask for? I have the next book waiting for me at the library.

I've started four other books over the last couple of weeks (a couple Blazes, a couple urban fantasies) and nothing is grabbing my interest. So I'm turning to non-fiction for now.
