I was confused by that the first time as well. I think it is no longer published as Cross Stitch?
Mod
I've been meaning to read the book since the beginning of the challenge and this week was going to be it anyway, so I'm going to join.
There will be no extra points for this but it'll be a nice way to chat about the book with others who will be reading at the same time.

Book: The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch"
Ah another doorstop book I've had lying around for ages. I started it earlier in the year and then a challenge got in the way where books couldn't be started before the challenge so I've kind of put it aside again, sadly.
I also met the author earlier this year! Fun guy!

I read this book a few years ago. It was fun, I enjoyed it, although I did not feel like going on with his next books in the series.
I'm changing my reading plans a bit for this week.I have started on The Way of Kings, but while it's intriguing, I think I need some more time to digest it, so instead I am/will be reading
The Eye of the World (800+ pages)
and
The Last Chronicle of Barset (900+ pages)

The Pillars of the Earth - 1,105 pgs
Romancing the Holidays - 1,031 pgs
Team Player - 1,032 pgs
If I can stomach A Regency Christmas Proposal: A Regency Romance Christmas Anthology (826 pgs) I'll read it.
Mod
I am loving those fat page counts :-D
I am reading Kushiel's Dart atm (my copy has ~900 pages) but I'm not getting a lot of reading time at the moment (it is one of those weeks, as it seems to be for a lot of you as well....), which suuuuucks because the book is really good so far. But I'll have all of tomorrow afternoon and evening to read to my heart's content :-)
Mod
Are you enjoying Kate?
Yes I am. I'm only 35% in but I really like her character. Can understand what people have told me about this series now.
Found another Sin Bingo to read for so I'm reading that now too. I should have 3-4 books by the time this challenge ends.

Oh yikes... Silkworm not as good as the first one?
You know, Handmaid's Tale is one of those books I'm surprised isn't mentioned in the fave reads as a lot of people love that book. Did you enjoy it?
