The Strong Females in Fiction
Over the last few years I seem to be more attracted to books with strong female leads, These are usually not the ones looking for a man to come and save her, Some of my favorite characters are October Daye, Jane Yellowknife, Charley Davidson and so many others. The damsel in distress characters are just not appealing to me anymore, When I was young the man who came to save the day and have the woman saved was what would attract me to a book, No as I've aged, I'm differently more attracted to stories with strong, kick ass, female characters. By the way, I did not forget Eve Dallas, If you haven't already checked out these characters and the books they are featured in, start now!

WOW, Time flies
To All Who Might Be Interested,
Boy does time fly when your not paying attention. So much change, so much stays the same. I've been able to reconnect with friends and family and also find people out in the Internet world who have had similar backgrounds as I do, I am a Military Brat, specifically an Air Force Brat. Due to the experiences of my childhood and teen years, I feel more like a citizen of the world. Its been nice to converse with others that have that same since of belonging and yet not belonging.
Now on to my other love, Books!! I just finished Craig Johnson's "Dry Bones" part of his Walt Longmire series, I love this series for so many reasons, humor, western setting and most definitely the characters, This is a modern day western mystery set in Wyoming. Start reading, you won't regret it.!

Overdue Books
Dear Reader(s):
Boy am I behind on all the great books that I have had the pleasure of reading lately.
First up, if you haven't tried "The Chonicles of Elantra" series by Michelle Sagara, it is enthralling.
Her most recent offering in the series is "Cast in Sorrow" were we learn about the capabilities of the main character. I won't say much more about the story because you really have to start at the beginning of this series and watch as the main character evolves . This series is more fantasy/world building than romance or paranormal genre. But what I really love about this series is how the stories are written, you are learning along with the protagonist what her abilities, their meaning and her place in world.
Second up is "Chimes at Midnight" an "October Daye" book by Seanan McGuire. Wow what a game changer and your never sure if October will really succeed at her quest, but she will die trying if she has to. This book also leads to new possibilities as we have a change in the power structure going on.
Well, unfortunately this is all I have time for but I hope this gives you some ideas for new books to read.

Yucky Week, Good Books
Dear Readers:
This has been a kind of a yucky week, but thankfully the author, Connie Suttle, came out with the second book in her trilogy "God Wars".
This was another great book from Ms. Suttle and a great addition to the interlocking universe that Ms. Suttle has created. If you haven't tried one of her books yet, now is a good time.
Another great book I read last week was Nalini Singh's newest PSY/Changeling book. "Heart of Obsidian"
The book description itself tells you that this is a game changer to the PSYnet . In other words this allows Ms. Singh to re-build the world she has already created. That's a great move and I can't wait to see what comes out of it.
As a final thought, I have found myself going out of my comfort zone book wise. I have always stuck with the same authors, but as Amazon and other self-published authors are becoming more assessable, I have found some really good authors. Connie Suttle was one of these authors. So don't be afraid to branch out, you may be very surprised.
Happy Reading,
Kimberely
