Whew! I never thought I was going to get these books up here. Andrew and Chadya gave me a BUNCH of new books for Christmas and I've been dutifully reading. But I've also been knitting and scrabbling and watching all the movies I got for Christmas AND playing Wii bowling (I got pro status YA!)

Anyway, I've wanted to read these Joel C. Rosenberg books for a long time. I can't remember where I first heard about them, but they sounded like "just my thing". And they are! The Last Jihad reads like a Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum book. Exciting, fast paced and well written, I loved every word.

Next I read Unveiled, a story by my good friend Christine. Her first book is being shopped out to publishers by her agent and this story was finished but before she sent it away she wanted me to read it to make sure the story was good. WAS IT EVER! This was one of those books that you could hardly put down - and when you did put it down all you did was think about the characters and the story and wish longingly to be sitting somewhere quiet so you could keep reading. It was over far too soon, but I'm so happy that she's got two more books planned that continue the story of these characters. Now if she could just quit her day job and get those books out, pronto!

And last night I finished my second Rosenberg book. Again, a great story and well written. But I'm like this with Clancy and Ludlum too - I can only read so much and then I need something light and fluffy to read. I saw that the movie rights to these two books have been snatched up. Those are going to be some intense movies folks!
