Looking Ahead #18

By Dan Cristelli

Well, that was quick. If there’s one good thing to be said about insomnia, it’s that plowing through a book is a lot easier when you’re up all night. I don’t expect this to happen often, but I certainly made short work of my current read.

Let’s jump in to the next look ahead where I’ll be updating you on the book I’m currently reading, and answering these questions about the next book on the list:

  1. Why did I buy this book?
  2. Why haven’t I read this book?
  3. How am I feeling about jumping in to this book?

Currently Reading: Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane.

My Progress: At 85% done, this one will be finished tonight.

Up Next: Sins of Empire by Brian McClellan, purchased on 8/27/2017.

Why I Purchased This Book: McClellan’s Powder Mage trilogy was a great work of fantasy, mixing steampunk with military fiction for a read I’ll certainly revisit some day. As this is a follow-up series, it was a no brainer.

Why I Haven’t Read This Book: I honestly don’t know. This one is hard to explain as I should have been all about jumping in.

How Am I Feeling About Reading This Book: Super excited. This trilogy seems even more well regarded than the first, so hopefully I’m in for a treat!
