Sci-fi & Fantasy reading list - May 2014

I love to read science fiction & fantasy novels and the past several years have been fantastic as the industry and I have both shifted to ebook readers.  I always appreciate a good book recommendation, so perhaps other readers will be interested in what I've read and I what I liked.

As a caveat, enjoying the story is my highest order value, above complicated, nuanced storytelling or even the mechanics of writing.  If I am entertained and pulled into the story, I can easily overlook a few grammatical errors.  I do welcome different comments, so if you read one of these and have a different perspective, please share it and we can discuss.

Best regards, Jeff
