What are you reading in Nov. '14?

[Clive]

Am reading gentlemen bastards book 1

[Michelle {Book Hangovers}]

I just finished listening to Assassin's Apprentice and Perdido Street Station. Next up is Brent Weeks The Black Prism. I'm so excited about this series :)

[Amber]

The Forest of Hands and Teeth The Dead-Tossed Waves The Dark and Hollow Places

These are the books that I am currently working on. My daughter recommended then and are only available through her high school library, not our local library. So, I am reading them in rapid session.

After I read this one I am reading Spawn of Dyscrasia

I feel bad because I didn't make it past the first book. I was so angry at the ending, and it bothered me so much, that I couldn't continue. I did try. I made it to only the second chapter.

[Deedee]

I finished Dreams Underfoot (Newford #1) (1993) by Charles de Lint earlier this month. Now reading The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard #1) (2006) by Scott Lynch.

I've read A Shadow in Summer and A Betrayal in Winter--- both excellent novels! I'm surprised they didn't win awards. I have An Autumn War sitting here in my to-be-read-sooner-rather-than-later pile. I almost picked it up after Dreams Underfoot, but there's *another* group here on goodreads that is reading The Lies of Locke Lamora and so I picked that one up instead.

[Jen]

I'd like to do a re-read of Storm Front, followed by the rest of the Dresden Files. I just read Coraline.

[Bruno]

This Month I'm reading The Name of the Wind. I don't know if I will have time to read another book this month.

[Frank]

I am just finishing upTower Lordand startedFalling Sky.

I'm reading that one as well. It is lengthy. Slow to start for me, but the story is getting more interesting.

[Stuart]

Now reading Insanityby Cameron Jace

[David]

I've read The The Heresy Within by Rob Hayes. I struggled initially but then found myself gripped. It's a dark fantasy with some interesting female leads. The writing is gritty and to the point. It's sort of a Western set in Africa set in a fantasy world. It is not always easy to read, but it is well worth the effort. Not one I would normally read so not sure where and when I got this book. Anyone else read his work?

[Fay]

I'm currently reading King of Thorns by Mark Lawrence.

[Mili]

Just finished reading Royal Assasin by Robin Hobb. Liking the series so far. I always try to read a short stand alone book when im reading series so before starting on the third book I'm reading Bird box by Josh Malerman. Tried The slow regard of silent things, gonna continue it later as the story didnt appeal to me at the moment.

[Kaci]

I'm finishing up Eye of the World. I was going to just listen to the audios (which, the narrator in the audios is amaaaaazing and also does Brandon Sanderson's books - the female narrator also does Pride and Prejudice and is also good (I'm just partial to anyone who can make me forget I'm listening to a recording and do it readers' theater.)).

I'm also in the middle of the Iliad, which I don't think I enjoyed until now. 0=)

Right now everything else is non-fiction unless you're counting the couple mangas I decided to read because the shows ended.

I had tried the Night Angel trilogy, but I...well, the content was a bit rough for me, so I had to put it in book two.

I doubted at first, the first pages are always tough for me when I start a series. And i really had to warm up to her writing, English isnt my first language so i kept stumbling over her sentences in my head...

[Lára]

Dancing Through It: My Journey in the Ballet, Jenifer Ringer
Prince Lestat, Anne Rice
White Beech: The Rainforest Years, Germaine Greer
Strong as Death, Guy de Maupassant
Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel
Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell
Prince of Fools, Mark Lawrence

I'm curious how Tower Lord is. I just finished Blood Song and really enjoyed it, but opinions on Tower Lord seem to be at the extreme of either loved it or hated it.

[[deleted user]]

Reading Blood Song in rotation with a scifi and a historical romance.

Tower Lord is really good. It is different then the first one because we don't spend much time with Vaelin and we are introduced to new characters and spending more time with old ones. It sets up book three very well.

[Jasprit]

I just finished reading Jaunten and Magus by Honor Raconteur. I gotta say I'm surprised I enjoyed it considering its a YA. It was very simple and sometime convenient story line but i really liked it. It was a refreshing change.
I've started Sword of Truth by Brian D. Anderson and Ghost Story, Dresden Files.

[Steve]

Most of 2014 I have been reading through the Forgotten Realms books, as many as I can get my hands on. Will have to go through and update my reading shelf.

[Esha]

I am currently reading The Collector's Treasure by A. Payne and N. D. Taylor :)

[Huixian]

I'm re-reading Blood Song now so that I'll be up to speed when I read the recently released Tower Lord. Such a good book..I hope book 2 is just as engaging!

Just read it myself, after so many recommendations, and absolutely loved it.

Now I'm reading Sawyer Jackson and the Shadow Strait (as an ARC), after enjoying
Sawyer Jackson and the Long Land

After that I have a few more books non-fantasy books from authors I've met before deciding whether to read Warbreaker, A Storm of Swords or The Wise Man's Fear. Will eventually read all three.

[Arron]

Started The Reality Dysfunction by Peter F. Hamilton. Need to find time to progress faster but its started off well :)

[Tbirdplanstoread]

Right now I'm reading Doctor Who- Winner Takes All. It is a Ninth Doctor & Rose story...it's going by fairly quickly, since it's pretty fast-paced writing. After that, I'll either read another DW novel, or The Walking Dead-Fall of the Governor :)

[Lára]

Had to add Blood And Gold because all of the books I'm reading together couldn't keep me entertained.
It's a reread of an old favourite of mine, with my all time fav character Marius.

No bother, I've been mostly rereading this year anyway

[Will]

I've been reading Sworn in Steel after finishing the first Kin book. It was a lot of fun and I have a special place in my heart for the thief with a heart of gold.

[Ian]

I am reading The Thousand Names at the moment I have just started it and I am really enjoying it at the moment.
Then I am moving on to
The Black Prism
Daughter of Smoke & Bone
The Emperor's Knife
The Emperor's Blades
Shadow and Betrayal

[Tad]

I'll have to add Tower Lord to my list. I'd really like to see how this story ends up.

[Will]

I finished Tower Lord and am working on Sworn in Steel. I may re-read Talion: Revenant just for the heck of it. I've also been listening to Tale of the Thunderbolt as an audiobook and will probably read or listen to the other Vampire Earth books.

[Eliabeth]

Trying to finish up an A to Z author challenge. Only a few books away before I can get back to my fantasy books!

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

I'm on one of those, I've 6 letters left. Bet you can guess a few!

[[deleted user]]

I have been reading Blood Song and rotation reading many others. I am really enjoying Blood Song but I am an incurable rotation reader. There are too many good books to read.

[Joseph]

Finished City of Hope & Despair and am starting (of course) City of Light & Shadow. Although we'll see how much my reading time suffers when Dragon Age: Inquisition releases on Tuesday ...

[Katarina]

I was reading the Codex Alera series (Furies of Calderon)by Jim Butcher, but it was getting kind of heavy so I've switched over to the Shadow Falls series (Born at Midnight)by C.C. Hunter. Both are very good so far. I'll return to Codex Alera later...

[Nigel]

The Long War is up next, having just finished The Martian

[Will]

The Magicians
The Magician King
The Magician's Land
This was a really fun series about a gifted and bored young Brooklyn kid named Quentin Coldwater getting into a college called Breakbill's, the oldest highest learning institution in the United States that teaches magic. He and his college friends learn how to travel between universes and end up in a Narnia-like world called Fillory where their presence has some unexpected and disastrous personal consequences.

[Tara]

I just finished reading The Lies of Locke Lamora.. this book was so much fun that I started with book 2 right away Red Seas Under Red Skies

Thanks, Tara. I'll give The Lies of Locke Lamoraa go.

Great Books. I have read the first 2.

I am reading The Whitefire Crossing and Red Sparrow (Spy stuff) this month.

[Will]

I am going to start The Sword-Edged Blonde after I finish Choice of the Cat.

All the Gentlemen Bastards series; The Lies of Locke Lamora, Red Seas Under Red Skies, The Republic of Thieves; are great. Scott Lynch is a heck of a writer with a wicked sense of humor. Locke isn't a nice person but he cares about his friends and pays for his mistakes (possible spoilers). My favorite series in quite some time, I'd also recommend The Anvil of the World. Kage Baker (RIP) was a fun writer with a great sense of humor and her books were awesome. I'd also recommend The Gilded Chain or The Dark Glory War if you like purely heroic fantasy with some romance.

Thanks, Will. More books to add to my "to read" list!

[Michael]

I just recently finished The Outstretched Shadow by Mercedes Lackey. The book has gotten some mixed reviews but I enjoyed it enough that I plan on reading the other two books in the trilogy.

[Cristian]

Im reading Legend by Marie Lu abd Death Cure. Pretty good books.
