I'm slowly working my way through Men at Arms - mostly because most of my reading time's been spent memorizing lines.
I just finished The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and I didn't LOVE it but I liked it an awful lot.Up next is Old Man's War and I'm poking around at the MG/YA read for this month.

Already? Wow, you just blew way past me. I'm about 30% through.
Which means I've read about 30 Thousand Kingdoms.
LOL!Once I got around pg 100, it flew by! I struggled for the first few chapters (up to around 75-80 or so) but then last night - it got really good really quick! IDK if the TV was even on last night, lol.
I knocked out about 50 pages last night, after The Walking Dead.So of course I thought it was cool when she mentioned The Walking Death. Heh
Once again continuing A Crown of Swords. I really like the Wheel of Time series, but I'm not the speedreader I used to be, and I'm easily sidetracked on top it. I'll be continuing The Capture soon, as well, but it hasn't been on my currently reading shelf as long as ACoS, so I might not start that just yet. I was reading Splintered a fair bit around the time I started The Capture, but the romantic melodrama is so annoying that I needed a break.

Having only seen the first series on TV, I got a Christmas gift of the first 8 series on DVD. This past weekend, I had fun watching the first 4 episodes again - thanks in part to having no Internet for most of yesterday.
Currently, I'm reading Noragami: Stray God, Vol. 1

;-D
I just finished up Old Man's War and I'm trying to get into the YA/MG read of the month,After that I plan to read The Cloud Roads.
I finally finished Men at Arms over the weekend, and am looking to start The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom today or tomorrow.

My son loves this series Greg and is re reading them for a second time. He's been convincing his friends to read them as well.
I'm currently reading 3 Malazan novellas. Blood Follows, The Lees of Laughter's End and The Healthy Dead part of the Malazan Ultimate Reading Order.

Hopefully his friends will start reading them too - or they'll be missing out!
I have Blood Follows on my TBR list but I don't have a copy yet.
Greg some of them have, which is great! The Malazan novellas were pretty good. Lots of dark humour. I've just finished the first three, so ready to read Memories of Ice in April.
I've now moved onto a mystery series Cork O'Connor #4 Purgatory Ridge which I'm reading as a series read in another group. So far I've managed to keep up with the pace of one book per month.
I started The Mirror’s Truth yesterday, and I am loving this book. As much as the first one, at least.
I'm about halfway throughExplorations: First Contact. Slow progress, but that's because I don't have much reading time now (and am also reading The Jewish War). Explorations is an anthology, so the stories vary a bit in both style and length, but mostly it's good stuff, with a few very good stories.

Finished reading Noragami: Stray God, Vol. 1, which was a fun read. I liked the tongue-in-cheek humour.
Just bought and started The Legend of Drizzt 25th Anniversary Edition, Book I (The Dark Elf Trilogy #1-3 omnibus) today. I don't think I'll ever get many novels finished this year with the way I keep ping-ponging between novels, and very long novels at that. I'm still having fun reading regardless of that, but I feel like one of the few people who can read religiously all year long and not have any proof of it! :P____

I read the first few volumes and really liked it, too. I'd like to get back into it but sadly, though, it's just one more series I keep going back and forth with. :)
I've been reading A Crown of Swords (Wheel of Time, #7) again after several stops and starts (which just happened because it's so long, not because I don't like it).
I've been ping-ponging between (usually good) books for what seems the entirety of this year, but maybe I can finish this one before the lure of another book messes me up!
I'm reading Ironskin - which, despite the blurb on the cover, is neither particularly steampunk nor is it a Beauty & the Beast retelling.It's far, far, FAR more a Jane Eyre retelling... which is fine, 'cause I like Jane Eyre... but I was a mite disappointed at first 'cause I'd wanted BatB.
I just finished
and loved it. This is one of the few urban fantasy series that hasn't seen me start to loose interest after book #5 or so.

I finished Lone Wolf - my first Robert Muchamore read and I found it to be a good thriller written for teens. If only I could've read books like this when I was a teen!
