I am about halfway through Assassin's Quest, but real life is interfering with my reading time.

[Shel, Moderator]

I needed some comfort reading so I just finished my umpteenth re-read of A Song for Arbonne. Not sure what's next.

The Idea of the Labyrinth: from Classical Antiquity through the Middle Ages by Penelope Reed Doob

[Jodie]

I came down with the flu so instead of reading material for grad school I made it halfway through . I'm liking it so far, even though i'm finding it a bit hard to suspend my disbelief long enough to really invest myself in the plot.

[Christine]

I finished The Calculating Stars; I have mixed feelings about the book. Next up is Beneath the Sugar Sky

[Mary]

Women in the Days of the Cathedrals by Régine Pernoud

[Shel, Moderator]

I'm starting Ship of Magic today to get ready for our next Realms of the Elderlings discussion!

[Silvana]

Currently reading Unholy Land and maybe try some Lovecraft after.

Recently finished Age of Myth (it was okay), Iron Council (fantastic), and Thrawn (the best SW novel I read so far).

[Christine]

I finished Beneath the Sugar Sky a couple days ago and have now moved out of topic. I'm reading Educated: A Memoir, an autobiography about a young woman who survived a difficult childhood (her father was a Mormon survivalist in Idaho) to eventually earn a PhD in history from Cambridge

[Christine]

I just finished Educated: A Memoir which I highly recommend even though it is not fantasy or SciFi. Now on to Spoonbenders

[Mary]

The Shadow Prison by Jonathan Moeller

[Silvana]

I am completing Discworld's Industrial Revolution arc with Moving Pictures. I hope this is as good as the Moist novels.

[Mary]

The Witch: A History of Fear, from Ancient Times to the Present by Ronald Hutton

[Shel, Moderator]

I finished Ship of Magic and now I'm out of genre with Orange Is the New Black, which is fascinating.

[Mary]

Child of the Ghosts by Jonathan Moeller

[Kathi, Moderator & Book Lover]

Finally finished Assassin's Quest and loved it! Starting Too Like the Lightning.

[Mary]

Ghost in the Flames by Jonathan Moeller

[Mary]

Ghost in the Blood by Jonathan Moeller

[MadProfessah]

I’m reading FOUNDRYSIDE by Robert Jackson Bennett, first book in a new fantasy trilogy from the author of the Divine Cities trilogy.

[Christine]

I just finished slogging through New York 2140 which I have trouble recommending unless you live in or love NYC and have a head for finance. Some parts and storylines are good, but I did skip over perhaps a third of the book. Now on to try something completely different: The Furnace by Prentice Rollins (which is not even listed on goodreads...)
