I loved "The Last Unicorn" years ago and my kids loved the animated film.

I'm reading Diggers. The second book in Terry Pratchett's Bromeliad trilogy.

I'm reading The Last Unicorn right now. It's really good isn't it? Such beautiful prose. I've never seen the movie, but I'm looking forward to it now.

I am reading The Covenant Rising by Stan Nicohls. It is a light enjoyable fantasy read. The plan is to genre hop to sci fi in August if I finish Covenant by then. I am proud of myself for resisting rotation reading for awhile. Because of that I was able to finish reading a historical romance novel ("One Wicked Night"). If I stick to to the one book at a time regime, I should be able to start significantly reducing many of the half read novels pleading for attention at home.

The movie's alright, you know? I like it, but it's a little odd. Hope you enjoy it, I feel like I need to rewatch it now that I've read the book, maybe I'll like it more...yeah, I think I'll go do that.

I just finished Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Trilogy Boxed Set which I quite enjoyed! It's so wonderful to see a strong female heroine in fantasy as so many fantasy books are misogynistic.

I then started Faerie Tale by Raymond E. Feist. This book has been on my "to read" list for a very long time and I'm so glad I finally got around to reading it. It's a terrific read and I can't put it down! AND it features a shout out in the acknowledgements to our very own Janny Wurts!

I loved that book too - sadly it got lost during several house moves. I'd love to read it again.

Finished Lost in a Good Book a few days ago - http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/.... Just finished Assassin's Apprentice this afternoon - http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Started reading Sabriel, The Hunger Games and started listening to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as a CD audiobook during my commute to/from work.

[Jon]

I finished The Hunger Games (http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...) earlier today and started The Martian Chronicles at lunch.

[Sandy]

I started Mark Del Franco's new book Skin Deep

[Exodus]

i'm reading Children of Húrin for the 3rd time. saving money to buy The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún this Oct.

[Elise]

Finished The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle last night. I loved it. :)

Now, I've just started Dragonseed by James Maxey, third in his Dragon Age series. A post-apocalyptic fantasy series about a war between dragons and humans.

I'm also still reading The Curse of the Mistwraith. I get the feeling I'm going to be jumping around quite a bit with this one.

[Fox]

Finished Assassin's Apprentice and doing the Wheel of Time re-read. This month I finished The Fires of Heaven and am 1/4 of the way through Lord of Chaos.

How is it going? The re-read I mean? WoT was the first fantasy I read after LotR, I read only the first 8 books that were written and I am dreading the time when WoT is finished and I start to re-read and get disappinted :(

I'm in the middle of Fast Forward 1 - found it while searching for Elizabeth Bear titles. It's amazingly good! I'd almost given up on short SF stories after the 90's when everything seemed so dark and grim - and of very uneven quality too. These are great, it proves that the art is alive and well! Especially liked "Aristotle OS."
