Will do. I don't think there's a problem. I've been very busy lately, getting ready to move, etc. But I don't think this one is brilliant like the last three. Still, it seems to be a good, fun, well-written read.

Right now I'm about half-way through Under the Dome and I'm starting the audiobook of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
For light reading during breaks at work I'm going to start the Godzilla novels someone wrote in the '90s (first one is Godzilla Returns). Seems like good cheesy fun.

Anyone read The Kinshield Saga: The Complete Series ? Your thoughts ?


I've read both, lol.

So, now, all my attention is focussed on Finnikin of the Rock. I only hope it's as good as it's supposed to be. I haven't yet bought books 2 and 3 (just in case). But I will if the 1st book fulfills its promises...after all, it only takes 30 seconds to get them inside my Kindle ;)

That's the worst!I hate it when that happens!

:(

I will have to get the book(s) now.
crap



I think its YA. A review I just read said it was very "ablest."

Dark, dark..."
I really enjoyed that book. I hope you do as well.

Oh, I am enjoying it a lot :)

I'll start Grave Mercy which I picked up for free from SYNC last summer.


A few of my other friends (as I said) do like this one better than the first...
That said, have the third ready. The way this one ends you'll want to jump right into Oath of Gold.

I've read the trilogy and the three novels after and I loved them all. Dark, gritty and I love the humour.

The humour. True, true. There's a scene I found hilarious. I won't spoil anything but it's the scene after the fencing contest. I laughed out loud at the description of the king.
I've just started Before They Are Hanged and it looks as good. I particularly like Glokta and for the life of me I cannot understand how one can ever like a torturer. But here I am.
Three novels after, you say ? I must check this out.


On another note, revisiting some high fantasy with Pehov's Chronicles of Siala. Epic, urban and a lot of low fantasy has been so popular lately (I'm not complaining!) it's refreshing to switch things up!

Now I'm reading The Bottoms. I've been looking forward to this one.


Unfortunately book 4 (and last) of this series will be published on Aug.26 *sigh* I hate it when I have to wait for a book. If only I had realized sooner, I would have waited for The Lore of the Evermen to be published before I started this read.


While I was waiting for the Lore of the Evermen to be published, I read As the Crow Flies. Very enjoyable. If one wants a fast read, well written and with plenty of humour (yes there's magic too), give this book a try.
Now, I have just started Homeland. It high time I knew what that Drizzt people keep talking about is made of.
Edit : I forgot to say that I had decided to read the "Legend of Drizzt" in chronological order and not publication one (hence "Homeland" to start with)

Here is my review:

I always listen to signs ;)
I'll probably (re) pick this series up some day.
Anyway. I have just started The Sword of Shannara (which is actualy my 2nd try). I hope that I will be more convinced this time. I remember getting so bored the first time but friends keep telling me that it is sooo veeeeery good. So, I'm willing to give it another try.
