hmmm... :)

I don't actually think I put much thought into these votes. I'm just going off what I've read recently rather than basing it on something tangible, and not all of these are five stars on my shelf. I just voted on them because they managed to hold my interest. Which seems to be getting harder to do, more often than not I'll stop reading midway through a book and start another, then I'll come back to the previous book but by then I don't have a clue what's happening.

I have read 5 of these, and they are all some of my favourites too, so you must be doing something right. I also started reading theft of swords this morning, which is a strange coincidence.

I suppose that could be what happens when you make friends with people with similar tastes though.

Yep, that's why I like to friend people who have common reading tastes as me. It's easier for us to discuss and compare our favourite books.
