A month or two ago I finished There Will Be Dragons by John Ringo, the first book in his Council Wars series. Not too bad, despite the obnoxious cover art that seemed to have been lifted from a customized van circa 1977. Kind of a unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy. Not the best I've ever read, but far from the worst, either. Call it 3 and 1/2 stars out of five. Enough to make me want to keep reading it, as long as I can do it for free.
Anyway I put a request into inter-library loan for books 2 and 3 of the series. The computer showed both books on the shelf of another library, so I dutifully requested both. And, of course, now Book 3 and ONLY Book 3 has shown up. Which is really irritating since you can't renew books you've gotten through ILL. So, now I either read Book 3 with no clue what is going on, wait until Book 2 turns up and speed read through both, or say the hell with it and maybe do something like balance my checkbook for the first time in close to a year. (Perish the thought.)
Anyway, thanks for your time. Rant over.
