LaTrica Jeff wrote: "I'm going to finish Cordelia's Honor and move into the Tawny Man triolgy."

I really liked Cordelia's Honor and am still making my way through that series. For now I'm in the midst of the Bitterbynde trilogy with The Lady of the Sorrows.


message 20: by Paul (new)

Paul I just finished Wise Mans Fear and i'm thinking about giving The Grim Company a try next.

message 24: by Elise (new)

Elise (ghostgurl) | 1028 comments Finished Hyperion the other day. I thought it was pretty cool and imaginative. Hyperion is such an amazing planet. Felt like I was there while reading. The ending would have driven me nuts, so I've jumped right into the second book The Fall of Hyperion


message 25: by James (new)

James Just finished reading Assassin's Quest by Hobb (which was amazing). Doing a bit of Shakespeare and about to read Oliver Twist by Dickens seeing as I've been reading fantasy for two months now. After that I shall be beginning Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings.


message 26: by Trillian (new)

Trillian I finished Grave Peril by Jim Butcher yesterday evening. I really enjoyed it - and it was the best book of the Dresden Files Series so far. Can't wait to start book number four. But now I have to finish The Scarlet Letter by N. Hawthorne and I always wanted to read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz :)


message 27: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 167 comments St. Peter's Fairwhich I should finish in the next couple of days and Shadow of the Wraith.

Not sure after that, maybe Fellowship of the Ring as a re-read or Kainan


message 28: by [deleted user] (last edited Mar 18, 2013 01:36PM) (new)

Just started re-reading The Lord of the Rings, currently on The Two Towers. In addition, I will continue listening to The Wheel of Time series, currently listening to The Shadow Rising. Love to read, but I am really enjoying the audio book thing too. I have about a 30 minute commute each way to work and have been going through a book a month, on average, in THe Wheel of Time, should finish some time in 2014.


message 29: by Joseph (new)

Joseph | 1651 comments Finished Exile's Gate, the last Morgaine novel, and decided to keep on with C.J. Cherryh, now with The Collected Short Fiction of C.J. Cherryh (two thirds of which, admittedly, I've read before, but never in this context).

I'm a huge Cherryh fan, too.

This is the first time I've reread her stuff in probably fifteen years and I'd forgotten just how really, really good she is.

Nigel Percy Thank you :-)

A.J. Lauer (ajlauer) I just finished A Celtic Witch, and I read Storm Front for the book club. On hold on e-reserve for the rest of the series. Will probably start all the Song of Ice and Fire goofiness soon..

Also, not fantasy but my husband pre-ordered Leaving Everything Most Loved for me and I can't wait for that :)


message 38: by Bren (new)

Bren Just finished Trapped by Kevin Hearne. Now continuing with Homeland: The legend of Drizzt by R.A.Salvatore.


message 39: by Elise (new)

Elise (ghostgurl) | 1028 comments Finished Red Country last night. It was the best of Abercrombie's standalones so far. I liked it a lot. :)

Starting Watership Down now, but I'll probably set it aside soon to read The Great Gatsby

I liked RED COUNTRY a lot, but it is tied with BEST SERVED COLD for me. They are both fantastic standalones.

I noticed Paul mentioned THE GRIM COMPANY by Luke Scull. I am also very interested in that one. I'll admit I'm into the "grimdark" stuff.

Currently I'm reading ROUGH MAGIC:

Rough Magic (GnomeSaga, #1) by Kenny Soward

I'll admit some bias, as I'm the editor of this book, but fantasy lovers won't be disappointed, and it is currently a Goodreads Giveaway, so feel free to check it out.

*Hopefully this doesn't come across as spamming the list. If so, my apologies, and feel free to remove the post. I'm just rather worked up. :-)


message 46: by Olga (new)

Olga Godim (olgagodim) | 85 comments I'm reading The Phoenix Guards. So far, obvious echoes from The Three Musketeers, but I'm only a few chapters in.

Yep, that was a very deliberate homage -- I think Brust talks about it in an afterword.


message 49: by Joseph (new)

Joseph | 1651 comments Finished The Collected Short Fiction of C.J. Cherryh -- good stuff! -- and am going for something (I hope) fast-paced and fun with Prince of Wolves by Dave Gross.


message 50: by Eshibasaki (new)

Eshibasaki Just finished The HungerGames Trilogy.Loved it, though I think the last chapters were a little let down.
