18. Still listening, will start "This Virtual Night" sequel to "This Alien Shore" by C.S. Friedman

I really liked This Alien Shore. I has a strong but confused young woman racing across the galaxy for reasons unknown to her. There are smugglers, pirates, pirate corporations and humans that are alien but still human. Everyone has from birth brainware and there is a killer virus on the loose. It was loads of fun.

A Killer in King's Cove by Iona Whishaw was very good. It is her first adult novel and there was a lot of description in the beginning, but it worked well. The story of a young English woman with a secret past, as in she signed the Secrets Act, who moves to a haunted house in the wilds of British Columbia. There is murder and intrigue.

The Serpent's Shadow the second (well second to me) of Mercedes Lackey's Elementals series was excellent. What's not to love about magic with a heroine to admire. Strong women all three.

The readers of these novels were quite good.
