message 51: by Sandra (new)

Sandra  (sleo) | 1913 comments I'm reading Ships of Merior, next is The Second Coming, Jane Eyre (for another book club), Nation. Next in the pile on my table is the Foreigner trilogy by C.J.Cherryh. Hope I can read it without too much trouble as the only format available is Mass Market Paperback and I usually have trouble reading the small print.

And Kimela, I'm in the same boat, discovering books I've never heard of. So far I'm thrilled and haven't been at all disappointed! Except with The Warded Man. I didn't finish that one, finding the characters too one dimensional to care what happened to them.

Barbm1020 After revisiting Richard Peck's wonderful historic fiction for teens (The Teacher's Funeral, etc.) I picked up Fool Moon, by Jim Butcher. Grave Peril is next. He's guy writing for guys, yes, but he has a bit of wry humor and some inventive special effects and magical technologies that I like. And Harry Dresden is a very likeable wizard.

Sandra  (sleo) | 1913 comments Oh women like Harry, too. ;)


message 54: by Jeanne (new)

Jeanne (jeannekc) I'm reading The Wheel of Nuldoid by Russ Woody. I've only just started it (page 15) but so far it reminds me a lot of Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl books.

The Wheel of Nuldoid (Volume 1) by Russ Woody

Kenneth Sitsler (skennyevil) just started the Jim Butcher Dresden Files> The 1st book is great Storm Front can't wait to read them all.


message 56: by Jeff (new)

Jeff Watson Kenneth, I quite enjoyed Storm Front. I decided to give these books (I bought the second one after finishing the first) a try because SciFi Channel did a 'one season' of shows based on the Dresden Files. While I'm rather vague on the particulars of the show (i.e., did they follow the book) I found Harry to be quite the intriguing fellow and the world to have some interesting twists.

I am now reading Under Heaven. I'm 131 pages in and finding it to be quite good.

Elise (ghostgurl) | 1018 comments Just finished Song in the Silence by Elizabeth Kerner last night. I really loved that one and can't wait to finish up the trilogy. I actually probably will start up the next book The Lesser Kindred and read it along with The Emerald Storm, which I'm working on. I really don't mind reading multiple books at once. :P

The show is available to watch instantly on Netflix. I just added it to my queue. I'll let you know how it is when I watch it.

Jeff Watson Thanks for the info Shannon. I subscribe to Netflix so if I can find time I'll check them out. I'm not even sure if I saw all of them when SciFi aired them. Might have been on at a bad time.

Sandra  (sleo) | 1913 comments I watched it when it was on before I even knew there were books. Was disappointed when it got canceled.

Tanith I just finished the Casting Trilogy series by Pamela Freeman
Because the story has so many different characters viewpoints I found myself skipping and readying the story of the main characters, then going back and reading all the other stories.

I'm not good with anticipation

Kendall | 16 comments I just finished up Assassin's Apprentice and the rest of the trilogy by Robin Hobb, and the new Rangers Apprentice book. Now I am going back to the Codes Alera; on book 4.

Elminster was loved by a goddess, and Greenwood's books are some of the best! You always have to worry about El.

Arthur (astra) Finished Beyond the Shadows by Brent Weeks.
My Review

I am going to re-read a few pages of Beyond the Shadows and start The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson by Andrew Davidson

Kendall | 16 comments Adam: Exile is so wonderful. Have you read the Icewind Dale trilogy yet? If not, might as well forget your other plans. It is impossible to put down!

Kate Kulig (katekulig) I just picked up Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay and have been enjoying it all weekend.
