I've actually got the B&N leatherbound edition, but I can't find that one on here. It's very handsome.

Omg, so repetitive. So self-congratulatory. I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish this one.

I love the poetic beauty of Ken Liu's writing. I am a little surprised at some of the minutiae he allows to bog down the essence of this novel, mostly military background noise.

The number of plot holes and amount of times characters suddenly start acting very unlike themselves in this book is both astounding and highly irritating.

I'm so happy to finally get to read this; the anticipation has been killing me.

I might fall short of my reading goal this year if I keep picking these long ones.hehe This one's a re-read. It's been awhile.

I've read book two of the Art books before (and will probably re-read that next since its been holy-crap-twenty-years), but haven't read book one yet.

A twist I didn't see coming!

Apparently I never added a lot of these to my read shelves.

Re-reading the handful of Belden books I have. I wish it were easier to find the old paperbacks.

The City of Silence, written by Ma Boyong and translated by Ken Liu, is truly excellent.

Now I want to re-read the whole series, with this book in sequence.

I was having one of those days where I couldn't decide which book from my TBR pile I wanted to read next, and my youngest asked me to read this before she has to bring it back to the library. I guess that's one way to choose.

After the first two books all being from Tris' POV, suddenly book three goes back and forth between Tris' and Tobias' Points of View. I keep finding myself getting confused, only to realize I've defaulted back to hearing Tris when I should be hearing Tobias. *grumbles*

Read this book.

I swear, I only meant to take a peak to look for something specific, but apparently I can't wait anymore... got sucked in. Oh well, I needed to break up the Lovecraft a bit, anyway.

Loooooooong overdue for re-reading some Lovecraft; it's been more years than I care to admit. Hooray for complete collections.

The Deaths of Tao (Tao #2) drops today. I'd planned to have my review written long before now, but life and health has been uncooperative, so I'm going to spoil my own review here and tell y'all right now that even though I'm only on page 121, it's fantastic, and definitely a great way to spend this cold, dreary day.

It's been killing me that I have been too sick to concentrate well enough to read while this has been sitting on my end table. Digging in now, and hoping my body and brain cooperate.

Actually starting tomorrow, next up in the review queue.

Took this out to read a few weeks or so ago, but never got to start. Now really need to read a leisure book or two before my next review book.

You *know* this is a good book if it has zombies and I'm not only still reading but absolutely loving it.

Wondering why this book is in Goodreads twice by two separate authors, instead of once with both authors listed.

I am loving this story.

Setting Cloud Atlas aside to read this one first, now that I have it.

Reading the movie tie-in edition for review, while I wait to hear back about a few other things.
