What Are You Reading in June?

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I finished Throne of Jade, the second in the Temeraire series, recently. I enjoyed it, especially the parts about how the dragons and people interact in China, but I have to say that it felt a tiny bit like filler in the series. But it was still fun filler.

So, I finally finished The Meaning of Night (and will leave a review via my profile at some point today), and started The Graveyard Book this morning. I should finish it this month, I think...

I read Midnight Pearls A Retelling of "The Little Mermaid" in under and hour last night. It was pretty thin -- literally, under 200 pages with not-very-small print. It felt like Viguie was really struggling to get a full-length novel out of it. Might be okay for tweens, but wouldn't recommend it for adult readers.

I finished Starship Troopers last night - http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... - and I'm starting To Kill A Mockingbird for something completely different this morning.

Haven't you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird before? Or, is this a re-read. I'm not much of a re-reader, but I've read this book 3 or 4 times. I'd say that it is right behind the Bible when I talk about books that shaped my life. I first read it when I was about Scout Finch's age. Every time I read it, I find something new in it and it speaks to me differently at different life stages.

Finished Last Argument Of Kings (The First Law: Book Three) by Joe Abercrombie.
Mixed feelings about this one. I wrote a short review.

On to Fevre Dreams by George R.R. Martin.
The first book by G.R.R. Martin for me.

@Jon: To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my all-time favourites! Definitely rereading-material.

Yesterday, I've finished Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier. Loved the gloomy, dark atmosphere and the suspense in the book.

Still reading Kindred and Beyond the Shadows.

I finished To Kill a Mockingbird yesterday. It was very good.

Started God Stalk by P.C. Hodgell.

[Tracy]

Started The Curse of the Mistwraith today. Should be finished and ready to discuss soon.

[Robin]

I definitely want to re-read To Kill a Mockingbird - what a great book!! Thanks for reminding me.

Reading Karen Miller's Empress today. It's very interesting so far.

[Robert]

I just finished The Soldiers of Halla . I'm kicking around what to read next.

[susie]

G.U.D.4
also rereading Janrae Frank's Serpents' Quest.

[Kat]

I just finished Robert Holdstock's Lavondyss Journey to an Unknown Region and Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana. Both beautiful books. Now I've just picked up A.J. Hartley's Act of Will which is so far very entertaining.

Maurice, we're giving away several copies of the sequel, The Light of Burning Shadows Book Two of the Iron Elves here at FanLit. (I hope that's okay for this thread, if not please delete).
