Just finished reading Perdido Street Station, which was a solid, four-star, read for me! Earlier in the month, I read a short collection of graphic short fiction themed for Halloween: The Best of Tharg's Terror Tales.

In addition to Words of Radiance, I'm also listening to A Plague of Giants on my commute. It's pretty good! I love Luke Daniels.And then there is my guilty pleasure, the book I read when I want to read but don't feel like really trying... Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny. I don't know why I picked it up. I was curious! It's just like trashy reality TV. My favorite. #basicandproud
Now please excuse me while I throw on my black leggings and UGG's for a Starbucks run! :-D
You should catch me, Dawn. I don't read nearly as fast as I did before college and young grandbabies :)

I go to bed at like 9pm with the intent of reading, and usually wake up in the morning with my glasses still on, on the same page I started on, with the definition of "the" popped up on my Kindle :-)
Hehe...sounds cool.I ended up not needing a reread, since I waited until January to read WoR. (Don't judge me)
Just finished Edgedancer yesterday

Are you reading anything else?

They have good reason to be freaking out! LOL
Just dipping into some short fiction at the moment before I settle into another book.
This month I've read 15 short stories from 3 of the 6 Flirts! Collections and made a failed attempt at Peter Pan: The Complete Adventures. I'm now preparing for my final exams next week, so unless I decide to try to sneak another set of short stories in, I'm probably done for the month.
I'm reading The Alexiad, about 4/5 into it, and Angel's Deceit, the second book in the Angelwar Trilogy.I like Anna Komnene's personal writing style in The Alexiad (at one point she describes a man, I think it was the Pope, acting like a demi-god dealing with a demi-ass), and the notes are invaluable given her penchant for tangents and writing events out of order.
Grimmelhaus' fantasy is engaging and easy to read. I like the premise but a little more pace early on would've been good.
