[Kathi, Moderator & Book Lover]

We are culling/weeding books in our library and took 3 boxes to the used book store to sell. Since they were having a 20% off sale, I had to at least look and came home with only 8 books, including book 3 in the Riyria Revelations by Michael J Sullivan, a Stephen R. Lawhead book, and a few non-genre books.

[Bill]

I quite enjoyed Gentleman Jole which I recently finished. It provides much depth into Cordlia's and Jole's lives. I need to read this series from beginning to current.

I'm still working on reading this one, as I got derailed by a stomach bug over the weekend and didn't even have the brainpower to watch TV, much less read. I very much enjoyed what I've read so far, though.
