35559 I finished Dream Man by Linda Howard and Shards of Honour (Vorkosigan Saga, #1) by Lois McMaster Bujold today. The latter was very good. Cordelia is such an amazing character. I couldn't help feel for her. I'm definitely picking up the next book in the series.

Now I need a fluff book next to offset SoH.

35559 I also had a library run today and I picked up Envy by Sandra Brown The Shadow of the Wind (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, #1) by Carlos Ruiz Zafón Something Wonderful (Sequels, #2) by Judith McNaught Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta By a Thread (Elemental Assassin, #6) by Jennifer Estep The Rake by Mary Jo Putney The Lions of al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay

I also kept seeing Shards of Honour (Vorkosigan Saga, #1) by Lois McMaster Bujold on the library. 4 copies!! Guess that's my library's way of telling me to stop procrastinating reading it.

35559 I finished Finnikin of the Rock (Lumatere Chronicles #1) by Melina Marchetta today. The first 3/4th of the book was soooo good I couldn't put it down. The last 1/4th sort of let me down. It didn't capture my attention as much I'd have liked it to. But Melina Marchetta is fast moving on auto-buy authors. I'm really liking her writing. Works for the Eyes challenge
35559 Eni, I *think* they'll have the bouncy cupcake only when all the puzzles in the Spot The difference (this round, it's 12) is completed. If there's even one missing, you won't be awarded the bouncy. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

35559 Karen, I'm with Oo. I'm laughing at your 160. To put in context, I have 160 series that I need to start. ;) Now I console myself looking at people who have 5000 - 10,000 books in their TBR.

35559 Chiming in to agree about Jasper Fforde. I loved, loved Shades of Grey (Shades of Grey, #1) by Jasper Fforde
35559 Me too!
35559 LK, it's Alley from Magenta Mix-Up. It was a mistake.

35559 I forgot to post my books:

The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgertons, #2) by Julia Quinn - a re-read. I am not sure what prompted me to start this book.. but it held up on a re-read. Should work for the eyes challenge

The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever (Bevelstoke, #1) by Julia Quinn - Another good addition from JQ. Will work for eyes challenge

Dragon Blood (Hurog, #2) by Patricia Briggs - I want Briggs to continue this series. I loved the world-building. And I still want dragons. Preferably purple please but I'm not picky. Again, should work for eyes challenge

35559 Leslie, Chris - can we start beginning of July?
Jun 26, 2013 06:59AM

35559 I was actually about to start with book #4 (Series OCD mostly) but thankfully I did research and decided to skip that. If I become so crazy about the series, then I can always read it. When are you planing to read #7?

I can't stand if people tell me too many details about the series. My friend who knows that taunted me when the last Harry Potter came out and I was waiting for my copy. I had to spend my time with him closing my ears.

35559 Ah, Leslie. It's no fun when an accident like that happens. Must suck.

I like the Gin Blanco series - the character developments has been a real plus in the series. Just that I will need some break between the books. And you didn't like The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant ?

35559 There really is a long thesis articles about that but I have Cordelia's Honor (Vorkosigan Omnibus, #1) by Lois McMaster Bujold which is an omnibus Shards of Honour & Barrayar (Cordelia's story). I understand the series' main character seems to be someone called Miles & I *think* she's supposed to be his mother? Anyway, I plan to read that and work my way along if I like the series.

But, if you go by chronological order, you are supposed to start off with Falling Free which I've heard is a bore. So I'm skipping that. So, in short, I'm going by chronological order with common sense + research.

35559 Ooh, Tea how was it? I'm planning to start that in a couple of days but everybody and their mother (it seems) are raving about that series.
