Please . . . Keep talking as if I'm not here. I don't mind. :)

As for being a drunkard . . . guilty. But there's nothing wrong with a little marinade among friends!

Signing off for now,
Aloh . . . Oops. I mean Clay.

[Aloha]

Or gruel-age. Note how I came right after Clay. Sign on, sign off, sign back on.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

I'm reading Bad-Ass Faeries 3: In All Their Glory. Required reading if you are into faeries. :)

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, *good karma*]

I'm reading Blood Bound, Fool Moon, The Name of the Wind, and Kushiel's Dart.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Oh wow. What a great list, MrsJ.

[Maggie]

I just got The Warded Man and All the Windwracked Stars from the library---both have been on my list for a while

[Scott]

I finished Storm Front this morning. This was any easy, quick read. Very enjoyable.

I'm going to start A Game of Thrones so that I have at least the first one done by the time the series starts.

Thanks, Lady D! It's hard to know which one to pick up when.

Okay, let's see here. In the last couple of weeks I've read Daemons Are Forever, From Hell With Love (good and not as good respectively), The Windup Girl (which I enjoyed far more than expected), Mythago Wood, Tigana, Soon I Will Be Invincible(recommended to comic book geeks!), Wit'ch Fire(kinda sucked), Moon Called(short but good) and City of Golden Shadow(excellent). Now to finally start some Mercedes Lackey :)

[[deleted user]]

Oooh I forgot A Shadow in Summer. I really loved this one :)

[[deleted user]]

And If a Pirate I Must Be... and The Steel Remains (which I read on recommendation and really enjoyed despite a bit of graphic content that usually doesn't appeal...every bit of 4 stars. Really 4.5 but ah well...I round down.)

Hmm...I really need to find a better way of keeping up with books on here.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, *good karma*]

Damn, Grant. Now you have to prove you don't have a plug in the back of your neck. Prove it!! :)

Why not use the iPhone app and just type it in as you're reading? That's what I do when I start/finish a new book and I'm not playing on GR.

But I'm also doing a book challenge and I need GR to keep count for me otherwise I'd have to type everything up.

[[deleted user]]

Heh...it would look like far less if I just listed a book every day ;)

I didn't realize there was an iPhone app. I'll see if there's one for the iPad yet :) thanks!

[[deleted user]]

You might find the scanner function useful for adding in books.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, *good karma*]

Oh yeah! That scanner is pretty decent, too.

It might look like even more...or people would accuse you of not really reading the books. ;)

You're in for a treat, Scott. I envy you your first ASoIaF reading experience!

Enjoy!

[Jason]

Is there an actual Goodreads scanner app for smart phones? If so, what's it called?

[[deleted user]]

I know there is for iphone, called simply Goodreads.

It has a barcode scanner under the "My Books" section.

[Dawn]

I'm finally done with Silverthorn, a re-read that I really didn't want to be doing but had to for a group read. Now on to The Ruins of Gorlan and then Graceling, two more group reads. After that I may or may not have time to squeeze in a couple randoms (either some Abercrombie or Dresden or maybe some Paks), and then it's on to the re-read I've been waiting to do forever. That's right, it's GRRM time baby. I can't wait!

[Jason]

Thanks, Ala. I have an Acer. I'll check it out.

[Maggie]

I am immersed in All the Windwracked Stars and so far totally in love with it! beautiful

[Robert]

I am currently getting close to the end of Never Knew Anotherwhich is definitely a different type of fantasy for me. This is more of a dark, literary type of fantasy.

I think Wit'ch Storm is better than Wit'ch Fire..then I enjoyed the rest of the series after that.

Loved that series!

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, *good karma*]

I really need to buy the rest of those books...I try to keep my book buying binges seperated by at least a week or so...

[[deleted user]]

I was going to give up the series after Wit'ch Storm, Jeao but I may give the sequel a shot if you say it improves drastically.

Amanda were you referring to the same series or to The Secret Histories?

[Maggie]

I ordered some books that have started arriving: Mistborn Trilogy Boxed Set Consider Phlebas, Bitter Gold Hearts ,Dead in the Family, Before They Are Hanged and The Tough Guide to Fantasyland

Unfortunately my brain is already wracked with things I SHOULD have got, so I think I will be making another order

[whimsicalmeerkat]

Cryptonomicon
The Ivy Tree
Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson
Jude the Obscure
The Sisters: The Saga of the Mitford Family
The Magician

[Scott]

I have to say that the first couple of chapters of A Game of Thrones was agonizing for me because there were so many characters and so many places. I kept having to go back and see "who is this?" or "where was that?".

But I must say that now I am completely entrenched in this story.

*******Possible Spoiler*******






I just finished Bran's chapter (around Chapter 8 or 9 I'm guessing) and I was shocked at how it ended.

[Dawn]

You know, I never had a problem with there being too many characters in GoT. I never even thought it when I was reading it, which is weird, because usually that's something that really annoys me in other books.

[Jason]

If I remember correctly (it's been something like 15 years since I've read the first) I had trouble remembering everyone at first, too. They should start becoming more familiar soon.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

I'm reading

[Melissa]

Finished WoT #9 Winter's Heart last night. Decided I need a break from WoT, so I'm starting on The Well of Ascension.

[Jea0126]

It's a decent follow-up to Mistborn.

Possible *SPOILER*

It's really interesting where the well ends up being.

[Jea0126]

Still reading Shadow Dawn. I'd have so much more time for leisure reading if I just didn't have all these books I have to read for my grad classes. lol.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, *good karma*]

I needed a bit of a plate cleanser so I startedMarion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress XXII. So far the writing is good and the stories are interesting but it doesn't have the zing of the older books when MZB was editing herself.

Have you finished all of Paks' books already?

[Dawn]

Ba da dum, ba da baaa, ba da dum, ba da baaa, ba da dum, ba da baa, da da da daaa, da! (That was supposed to be the Monday night football music, for what it's worth.. I think... LOL)

As of today, I am officially starting my first ever re-read of A Game of Thrones. I am beyond excited.. It's been so long since I originally read it, I've been waiting to re-read forever! And now it's time. Yay!

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, *good karma*]

Jea0126 wrote: Have you finished all of Paks' books already?"

Not yet. I'm waiting a bit to give Maggie and others a chance to finish up book one - so we can finish the buddy read. I've only finished book 1. I'd started on book 2 but that's when I decided to pause.

[Kevin]

I am re-reading both Royal Assassin and Assassin's Quest, then reading Golden Fool.

[Amanda]

Just got done with the 3rd and fourth volumes of Jack of Fables and I'm reading my six year old Peter Pan, so far so good :D. I've got some Batman graphic novels and the first omnibus volume of House of Mystery waiting for me along with , , and left from the library.

[Angelmass]

I just completed C.S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower novels. I'm now reading Acacia: The War with the Mein.

[Kacey]

reading Im almost done. & i have to say its fantastic. :3

I love that series! It starts off slow, so don't be put off... Stick through it and you won't regret it :)

[Laurel]

I've been on a bit of a Harry Dresden binge. I'm just startingWhite Night and am partway through Side Jobs: Stories From the Dresden Files. I don't usually get so caught up in a series, but I just can't seem to put them down!

I also read Moon Called by Patricia Briggs, based on wonderful recommendations, and am going to try and intersperse Dresden with Mercy Thompson. It's funny, I didn't think I'd enjoy Urban Fantasy, and now I'm completely hooked!

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, *good karma*]

I know how you feel, Laurel! I've been feeling that same way. Never have I read this much UF before.

[Laurel]

If I start LARPing through the sewers, I'm blaming The Fantasy Afficionados...
