I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed by the response I got when I asked about cyberpunk books yesterday, so I'll try a different angle.
I'm looking for books to read for a 2 week hike I'm going on next month, so I want to have enough stored up on my kindle for 1-2 hours of reading every day, plus two transatlantic flights.
So today I'll be talking about #urbanfantasy.
I've just finished reading the Rivers of London
series by Ben Aaronovich, which I thoroughly enjoyed (and, incidentally, started because of a hiking trip through England), and I've kept up with
Last year I read The Quarter Storm by Veronica Henry, and enjoyed it. I should probably pick up the second in the series.
I've also kept up with the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, and way back when I read some of the Walker Papers novels by C.E. Murphy, and enjoyed that. I should probably try to figure out where I stopped and see if I can read some of the more recent ones.
I also stumbled on a free read on Amazon that was *way* too much romance novel for me. I don't mind sex and romance in them, but I'd rather the story be more than setting for the romance.
Oh, and I read The Witch of Criswell, by John Michael Greer recently, and really enjoyed that, especially because the supernatural elements were well done. Oh, and River Magic by M. A. Phillips, which was also really well done, and I suppose I should read the rest of. Plus I sorta know the author.
So anyway, if anyone's looking for some urban fantasy reading, there's my recent recommendations, and if anyone has any suggestions for me, hit me up.
