Book finished

Mission of Honor by David Weber

Excellent development of the story, lots of threads coming together in a very pleasing way, no horribly boring parts (long tedious descriptions of sign language or naval tactics) as there have been in some previous books in the series.

A bit of a gap in reading, because I've been working on a couple of books at once.

Book roundup, July-December 2010

Oops, forgot to do this on the 1st. For those not aware, I do this (tracking) as a personal benchmark as a result of a resolution I made a number of years back to NOT fall into the habit of not reading. I made this resolution after realizing that I'd been so busy/distracted in my life that I had gone 3 years without reading a single book, and I didn't want to be that kind of person.

I don't do this as any kind of a competition, I read only for pleasure, but doing the numbers keeps me honest with myself.
