Reflections on what I am reading

Chronos Origins — Latest Read

My latest read was the Chronos Origins series by Rysa Walker. I read the first book back in 2020 because it is based on an interesting take on a time travel trope. I am trying to catch up on series I have already started and this one was next.
The Interdependency by John Scalzi

The Interdependency — Latest Read

My latest read was The Interdependency series by John Scalzi. It is a space opera trilogy. I thought the writing was pretty good and world building was interesting, although Scalzi tends to be less than subtle in expressing his personal political and cultural opinions.

The Peacemaker’s Code — Latest Read

Brad Parks, author of Interference

Interference by Brad Parks — Latest Read

My latest read was Interference by Brad Parks. This is a Michael Crichton style thriller. The story was based on an interesting premise and is pretty well paced. The ending was weaker than expected.
Michael Connelly Talking About Two Kinds of Truth

Two Kinds of Truth — Latest Read

My third book for 2022 was Two Kinds of Truth by Michael Connelly. It is book 20 in Connelly's Harry Bosch series. Connelly intertwines two separate stories in this one. Each had an interesting premise, but seemed like both were a little "light" for Bosch plotlines.

The Cider House Rules — Latest Read

My latest read is The Cider House Rules by John Irving. I read a few of Irving's books when they were first published, but this one never made my reading list. Not sure my take on the book reflects how other readers have seen it.
Robert Heinlein

Stranger in a Strange Land — Latest Read

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein was my first book for 2022. I was a big Heinlein fan in college and decided to reread to see if I would feel differently about the book now.

The Wrong Side of Goodbye — Latest Read

The Wrong Side of Goodbye by Michael Connelly is the 19th book in the Harry Bosch series. Connelly intertwines two plotlines in this one. It has been interesting to see how Connelly has "extended" the Bosch story arc.
