Finished NaNoWriMo

Phew, this one was close. Almost last minute finish. But well, i crossed the limit of 50k words. Which feels good. Now I am just going to let this piece off, let it marinate and edit it in January. Really looking forward to reading some books because i was so busy with writing in November that I didn't get time to read!
And I have to update some blogs too.
Right on.

Do check A Story A Day in December. I've got plans for that baby.

Science Fiction And Three Links

I have a soft spot for science fiction in my heart and I love it when i discover a new author or a new book which has anything to do with cloning/robotics/nano tech/cyberpunk/or anything equally gruesome.

And on one of my internet journeys, i stumbled across Haikasoru.

What is Haikasoru? you might ask, well, they tell it themself, here

They have a great collection of books you can check out here

That's about it for now. I am not reading any books currently because I am writing for NaNoWriMo, you can read about my NaNoWriMo adventures here

Guess that should keep you busy for some time

Book Report October

A laptop malfunction in October led to a loss of many of the books i had marked up for future readings. Anyway, I managed to finish Ratcatcher. I kept waiting for things to happen in the book. Except a decent sex scene, there was nothing much in the book. I mean, the blurb said that the lead character is badass and everyone is scared of him. He had to get his ass saved by a secondary character TWICE in the book. That's not badass. Anyway, all said and done, the guy, Hawkwood fires a single shot from a sniper rifle to end the novel and kills the girl he had had sex with earlier. Wtf dude. Seriously.

In other news, i read Jack Reacher's next novel, Worth Dying For. It is the standard Jack Reacher fare. Those who love previous Jack Reacher novels must give this one a read, because the end of 61 Hours (previous book in Reacher series) there was a mystery of how Reacher survived the blazing drug filled inferno. Well, he did. Somehow, it is not very clear in the novel, but hey, dude is our hero. He is awesome in his cool calculated, methodical, violent ways. Reading a Jack Reacher novel is like sitting with an old friend and sharing a cold can of beer. Ah yum.

And, the literary Juggernaut, Stephen King won't stop at all. After his last book, Under The Dome, he is releasing his book, Full Dark, No Stars which is a collection of four Novellas. How novel.

You can check the wiki page here .

So, that's about the books and some of the book news.

I bought another book, "We Know" by Gregg Hurwitz. I started reading it, but it's no page turner.

Also, I am reading Scott Siggler's Infected on my phone. Which is a strange experience, but my Nokia 5800 is holding up pretty well.

Till next time!

Take care! and Keep Reading!
