me, too. But then, I love all her stuff. Re-reading The Collegia Magica trilogy now - The Spirit Lens, The Soul Mirror and The Devil's Prism.
Just finished House of BladesCurrently reading Dragons of Autumn Twilight... 30% to go!
Next one will be Mistborn: The Final Empire
I have less than 100 pages to go for The Dragon Reborn. I'll certainly be on to the next book in the series within the month, but I've also been contemplating Shadowrise and The Dirty Streets of Heaven (love Tad Williams!).
I just finished reading The Blinding Knife and started reading Poison Study. So far I am liking it..
Dirty Streets of Heaven was definitely worth the read!I've finished the Hungering Saga, and Part 1 of I am Providence.
Anumber of things in my queue next. I picked up the fist 3 volumes of "Chest of Souls". Anyone read and have any (non spoilery) thoughts?
I am reading flight PLan by Barbara Kingsolver.
Just started City of Bones and still slowly going through The Rise of Endymion. I probably should have just stuck with the first two books.Also got A Storm of Swords on hold for now.
Working on the sword of truth and the wheel of time series!
Finished Phoenix Rising by Philippa Ballantine and Tee Morris and, since it was basically a fun story, continued right into The Janus Affair.
Reading Joe Abercrombie! On book 3 of the trilogy. I seriously haven't been as enamored with a character as I am with Sand Dan Glokta!
At the moment I'm reading
. So far it's on a four star course, 70% in.Still unsure what's next.

All right, that is very enthusiastic offer, so The Blade Itself it is. :)I have a feeling I'm going to like it...so I guess I have to eat my own cookies while reading the book.^^

Yay! Next on my agenda is Malazan or The Black Company or one of Neil Gaiman's books.
Black Company is on the horizon for me as well, but as a huge Steven Erikson Fan I'll recommend the Malazan books. Very complex and challenging, but such a unique and wonderful experience.
Right on Katey! I just finished the same trilogy, and Sand dan Glotka is the best anti-hero since Tyrion Lannister!
The Black Company. I'm going to have to look up the Malazan books now. :) Thanks, guys.

"Promise of Blood'? When is that due? The Wise Man's Fear was, I thought, the sequel to Name of the Wind.

I'm considering Shadowmarch now... Couldn't get into the Otherland stuff tho.
Reading Gardens of the Moon (Malazan!)
Starting Malazan tonight... Letting the last book of The First Law trilogy take its sweet time to finish. It's SO good!!!
100 pages to go in The Name of the Wind. Amazing stuff!
I'm late to the party on Guy Gavriel Kay - I actually started with River of Stars last month, and this month I'm tackling Tigana, and loving it!I saw Philippa Ballantine mentioned earlier - does anyone have thoughts on Kindred and Wings? I was intrigued by Hunter and Fox!
Finished The Janus Affair, which was even better than the first in the series, and started NOS4A2 by Joe Hill just for a change of pace. I bought the hardcover because my understanding is that he does some things with the text formatting that get lost in the eBook version.
Going to finish The West Point atlas of war: the Civil War,right now it's looking at three to four stars.The maps of the battle's are great.And it isn't so much political as it is warfare.
I know,it isn't SF or Fantasy.

Yesterday I finished Red Seas Under Red Skies and it was great! I can't wait for the third book and I'm so excited that there's a whole slew of books panned out for the Gentleman Bastard Series. Late last night I started White Trash Zombie Apocalypse and I'm already over 30% in. I'm also reading Blameless. I was hoping to finish Dead Reckoning this week but I left it in my car which is in the shop.

I can't wait until the third book comes out. I loved the characters - especially Selendri and Father Chains. Those two books might demand a reread!!
Good to hear such good reviews on Gentleman Bastard series.But right after The West Point atlas of war: the Civil War I'll be starting the Magic Kingdom for sale/sold series.I was just given five of the books.

Just finished re-reading The Daemon Prism by Carol Berg (Book 3 of the Collegia Magica trilogy). Wonderful series with terrific characters and a wonderful world of magic, politics, etc. Such a good writer! I cry every time I finish the series because I so hate leaving.
I just finished reading Poison Study it was an easy fun read. Now I started reading Untimed, love books on time travelling and hope this book turns out great..
Reading King of Thorns and liking it.Next in line will probably be Lightbringer by Brent Weeks.
The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. Just finished book 1, really liked it so on to book 2..
Just about halfway through Lord of Storm and Shadows and still not sure I like it enough to read the next two or even finish this one. It's not *bad* just not the sort of thing I can really get into and I'm not even sure exactly why.
Today I read Hooked By You for a R and R, and I am reading The Dreamweaver's Journey and a true crime. After that, not sure.
I started on Divergent yesterday and finished it today, Insurgent up next!
tried to read Declare but gave up on it so instead ive read Sign of the Unicorn and im now reading the massive Pandora's Star
Had to give up The Rise of Endymion. It was becoming a real drag...literally. The first two books were the best in the series anyway.So, I'm reading Rituals instead, which I hope will be a good change of pace.

Reading Lodestone by Wendy Scott. YA isn't usually my thing, but I'm enjoying this book. Quite imaginative.
