I just finished the 6 book series The Riyria Revelations by Michael J. Sullivan a fun, light epic fantasy and just what I need for this stressful summer.
And, I started last night Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. I only read about 20 pages last nite. This is going to be more than just fun! I loved the part where Alan Turing suggesting doing some penis thing with the protag ;-)

How are you enjoying this, Sandi? I read a couple of her free stories and really enjoyed them.



Please let us know how it is. I've noticed a lot of 1-star reviews and wonder if readers are upset about the quality of writing, or the age difference between the main characters.
I'm reading

I just finished Cryptonomicon (wow!) and started Daemon another CyberFi I am really enjoying. It's hard SF about the net and doesn't patronize the reader, but assumes one know how networking protocols work. I love it!




If you love a New Orleans setting with gay-themed murder-mysteries, this series is great!

Oh, those sound pretty good.

I absolutely loved it. I see where some people want to stay away from the taboo student/teacher relationship. But as for the writing, in my opinion, there were minimal complaints. It's alternating perspective, for one, but I thought it gelled well. It does skip forward at odd increments (a day later, a month later, etc.) but it didn't bother me. I saw a few complaints about vocabulary, but I was so focused on the story that I didn't even notice.

Just picked up Doctor Who: The Art of Destruction


Beautifully written but it doesn't grab me as much as it has others who've read it.
I'm currently reading The Prince and the Program on an iPad and only the 2nd eBook I've read. It's a Cyberfi with m/m characters, though I have not gotten to that part yet. It's much better than I expected.

It's not gay, but it IS eye opening.
So far, so good.
