Fortnightly* Update #8

3:40 pm 1 May 2014

So I've been getting a bit lazy on reading. I'll catch up, eventually. I have a decent amount of manga and graphic novels which need to be read.

 

*I've decided to change this a bit to a bimonthly update, on the 1st and 15th of each month. But I'm keeping the name, since I really like the word fortnight.

 

Books finished in 2014 since last update:

  • The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, narrated by Michael Page
  • The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima
  • Saga Volume 3 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples
  • Ruins by Dan Wells
  • Lover Avenged by J. R. Ward
    • Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop

In the middle of:

  • When True Night Falls by C.S. Friedman, narrated by R.C. Bray
