What Are You Currently Reading?
I finished
yesterday. I enjoyed the heck out of it although the beginning was a bit hard to get into.

Angelmass, I'm tempted to buy The Desert Spear when I go to the bookstore tomorrow!
Do it! But then you'll be sad that there's not another one =(
That always sucks when you get caught up on a series and the loooong wait begins!
Lady Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "That always sucks when you get caught up on a series and the loooong wait begins!"Oh thank you for that. I've been eying this book but you've just made my mind up for me...no reason to start it with the end no where in sight.
Do you know I left the Kushiel's Scion books on my shelves for years because she hadn't finshed writing the entire thing. Yes, I bought them as they came out but didn't start reading until book 3 was about to be published.
No problem, MrsJ. I do have to warn you that it has some stuff you might not like. You can PM if you want details.
There's also The Great Bazaar and Other Stories, Lady D. It's set in the same world. And, personally, I enjoyed The Desert Spear a bit more than Warded/Painted Man. It's more from Jardir's POV, so your mileage may vary.
Also, yeah, it might not be to your liking, MrsJ.

I didn't really care for Jardir in The Warded Man, so we'll see, Ala. Nicki, sorry I didn't know that.
Thanks Nicki, I never saw that one before :)
Lady D, I wasn't a fan of his either but changed my mind after Desert Spear.

"Scuse me, but what's LARPing? Out of touch here. I just read a good urban fantasy called Spiral Hunt. I had gotten tired of them, but a friend loves this series, so I gave it a try. May read #2 soon.Currently reading Black Sun Rising: The Coldfire Trilogy #1, just finished Silverthorn, am starting Berg's The Spirit Lens.
The Warded Man did not engage my interest at any level, so I gave up halfway through. No objection to the story line, just didn't find the characters convincing or the demons, for that matter.
LARP=Live Action Role Playing.
Basically, you dress up in costume and act out RP games.

Ah! Thanks. Doubt if I'll be participating. :D
I have Spiral Hunt, Black Sun Rising, and The Spirit Lens in my tbr pile, so I'm glad you liked them, Sandra.
I'm reading The War of the End of the World which is so strange it is kind of like fantasy. Then deathless
Thanks Lady D & Ala. Good to know.
Todd just started Wise Man's Fear and keeps cackling so I assume it has funny bits toward the front. I'm still working on graphic novels myself.
I don't remember anything amusing but maybe I haven't got to that part yet. Its a big book!
I stared Midnight Riot, and Divided Allegiance. I'm still reading Fool Moon, Kushiel's Dart and The Name of the Wind.
I haven't picked a book to read since I finished Unfamiliar Fishes(which I enjoyed).
It's not that I don't have choices, I just don't wanna read right at the moment...

I know you posted something, I just don't want to read it though, so I'll pretend you asked about aardvarks.
Ala wrote: "I just don't wanna read right at the moment..."...what is wrong with you?! Don't die!
Why yes, discombobulate is fun to say.
Where's Grant, he should know.
It's not that I don't have choices, I just don't wanna read right at the moment...Whaaa? Somebody get that man a new release, stat!
Ala! Ala??!! Talk to me!! Don't you dare die on us, you hear me?? Stay awake, dammit!
*slaps Ala sharply* Don't close your eyes!
But I don't want to go to school today...
*fans Ala with nearest large paperback*
Hey Ala! Want to go to a used book store??? http://www.secondstorybooks.com/index...They have out of prints...
I'm back Denae :) Ala's lack of desire to read is actually my fault. I got in about fifteen books over the weekend and had a bit of a reading orgy. I had to tap into his desire, plus a fair amount of caffeine to read to my heart's desire. I'll let him get back to his usual pace now ;)
I hate when you do that. It's so unseemly.
Well I have boxes and boxes of wet wipes. Seems a shame to let them wile away the days
Grant wrote: "Well I have boxes and boxes of wet wipes. Seems a shame to let them wile away the days"Whooosh! Right over my head.
I used the phrase "reading orgy". Ala called me unseemly. I made a lewd joke insinuating the orgy was one that would require cleanup using baby wipes rather than simply a whirlwind of very pleasurable reading. It wasn't over your head your just got hit really hard by that ninja car *pats your hand in sympathy*
:D
:D

welp, my copy of Retribution Falls that I won from GR came in today.
So guess I'll start a re-read of that.

I'm reading Firethorn by Sarah Micklem. Just getting a good start.
I'm reading the third of the Malazan books, Memories of Ice. At work, I'm reading (on my iPod) my very first Star Wars novel: Deceived (Star Wars: The Old Republic, #2). It's pretty great so far!
Hey Maggie, can I have some tequila? :)
I'm going to need one of those fake I.Ds if I have any hope of getting some tequila. I've heard your an expert, Jason ;)Started reading the second book in the Night Angel Trilogy.
While you're making face IDs, Jason...my boyfriend is 20. September can't come fast enough. This whole having a boyfriend who's underage thing is just strange. Woo, age gaps.
Maybe he should move to Australia; age limit here is 18 :)
He had an internship in London right after he turned 18. Needless to say, coming back to the States was painful after that.

I love that series! It starts off slow, so don't be put ..."
Good to know. I'm about 30% through and I've had trouble getting into it. It seems to be picking up now with big events starting to happen. I'm hoping I enjoy it since I already have the second book waiting on my TBR.
