Vampires, Grunts, Mistrals Kiss, Anansi Boys and Fake

[samvara]

Vampires by Various. Short stories, some good ones but nothing really stood out.

Grunts by Mary Gentle. Couldn’t finish it, wanted to, tried, gave up. Techno-military fantasy. What the orcs would be with Marine training and weapons.

Mistrals Kiss by Laurell K. Hamilton. Gah. Merry, get off your back and do some something interesting, I'll give it one more book then I'm giving up.

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. Fun, interesting. A different pace and style to what I usually think if as Gaiman but really enjoyable. What the hell do you do when you find out your father was Anansi the trickster-spider god and you have a missing brother and your life is suddenly going to hell.

Fake Books 1-7 by Sanami Matoh. Adorable. Gay cop manga. A really nice mix of romance and cop story.

I loved Anansi Boys. The wickedness of Gaiman is what draws me to his writing. His character is pretty damn wicked in this one...

I like the idea of Gay cop mantra... infact your bookshelves are going to have a serious stealage rate when I get back to the land of the sun... you have been warned.
