I am actually reading The Seventh Spark - Knights of the Trinity for OBC reviews - it is not a full book, but it shows some serious promise.

I read both books. I liked the first one and loved the second " The Prophecy of the Heron" exceeded my expectations. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I'm addicted! This book is full of action.

Something funny.. most people seem to assume that Kim is female. So far, in my opinion, the author left it open and up to each reader to decide. What do you think?

I believe he gave a few hints that she is a female. The first is her AI's name, which was Kimberly. The second was the description of her partners during intimacy, as the author described her and Shan as having soft bodies and calling them "innies," which I believe is a reference to females, while her only time with an "outie," the author described as having "hard muscles," which I believe stands for males. That's what I thought anyway. What do you think of this theory?

I have a rather large to some but others may call it a small book collection. Due to such a collection, I find myself reading two or even three books going back and forth. It depends on the mood currently in and at times will look at the books and suddenly want to read one that caught my eye. With this in mind, the current three books I am reading, going back and forth between them, are
"Six of Crows" by Leigh Bardugo, "Brisingr" (#2 of The Inheritance Cycle), and "The Essential Edgar Allen Poe Collection: The Best-Loved Tales & His Complete Poems".

Note: I am uncertain if the way I put the book titles is correct or not, but had seen others put quotation marks around the book title and thought it was needed. Also the Edgar Allen Poe Collection book is how the title would be placed to my understanding but would appreciate it if one could double check.

Hmm very interesting. I definitely understood the partners hints but not Kim's. I must read again the passages about Kim's body. But i thought the same about AI name that is definitely true!

Right now I am reading Atomic habits by James Clear. In my opinion it's one of the best books which I have read as it helps me change my bad habits into good ones. I recommend for anyone looking to improve their habits to read this great book.

I have a lengthy book this time, it has 644 pages. Dream of Peace is a memoir of Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's service in his country, Algeria, and other countries of Africa. It has a coherent writing style and has unique African names from characters encountered by the author. He is a true servant of his fellow countrymen.

A very long but catchy book. He poured all his heart in serving Africa and maintaining peace allover. I liked this memoir.

I have in the same boat about it. So far, so good on reading!
