Books 15-18: Heartless, Among Thieves, Ahab's Wife, On Stranger Tides

On this last day of 2011, I'm trying to catch up on my book posts.  I've read some good ones this year, but life hasn't given me time to post about them in the detail I would have liked. So, here's the first of a few "books read" posts I hope to make today.

15. Heartless by Gail Carriger

 

( In Lady Alexia's latest adventure... )

 

16. Among Thieves by Douglas Hulick

 ( This was my Comic Con line read this year. I'd buy the sequel. )

 

17. Ahab's Wife, or, The Stargazer by Sena Jeter Naslund

( Moby Dick has never been a favorite work of mine, but... )

 

18. On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers

 

I picked this book up because of its association with the most recent PotC movie, and because I've heard good things about the author. 

 

( First of all, let me say it was nothing I expected. )
