What are you reading in April 2011?

[Kevin]

I finished this week, Royal Assassin, Wise Man's Fear, and Assassin's Quest, now on to Golden Fool, with only have read parts of the first book.

Oh, I found it. In the FAQ post. D'oh!

I'm reading Last Sword of Power

I'm reading the Chapter books Lee & Miller are publishing as e-books. These were difficult to get in France and I'm really glad to have access to them so easily now. Usually, I'm not a fan of short stories but these take place in the Liaden Universe and so they feel like another piece in the puzzle. Plus, they fit in my tight schedule.

Helene (sorry I don't know how to do those accents on my keyboard) - I've been delighted to get the chapbooks too. I had the ones Baen had released electronically, but not later ones, which I knew had stuff that was significant before reading Ghost Ship. I'm trying to reread the series before GS comes out, so I'll fit reading the chapbooks in with that.

After taking a bread from the series since before Christmas (I think), I've gone back to Peril's Gate. I'm enjoying it all over again, but I think I'll manage it better reading at my own rate rather than trying to fit to an outside reading schedule. Happily, all the series messages are there waiting for me to read and I will do so as I progress onwards.

The last couple weeks I've been on this comic book collection spree--working over my local library in particular for DC collections. I was suddenly seized with the overwhelming desire to catch up with DC after coming back from Wondercon.

Also still slowly working my way through the Isaac Asimov's Robot City: Robots & Aliens series (on book 4), and having a blast with Patton Oswalt's Zombie Spaceship Wasteland.

Finished The Gripping Hand by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle while flying (and sitting in airports) from WI to New Orleans. Will start Janny's Peril's Gate on my return Sunday (yes, I know that will be May...)

I've been quiet here for a few weeks, mostly due to deadlines I had to meet earlier this month. Thanks to Candiss for keeping the group running while I was out! Here's what I've been reading this month:

- Vegas Knights by Matt Forbeck (***) - a fun magic-in-Vegas caper that was marred by a somewhat silly ending
- Soft Apocalypse by Will McIntosh (****) - beautiful, dark near-future dystopia
- The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi (****) - inventive and entertaining SF novel
- Haven by Joel Shepherd (***) - final novel in a great fantasy series, but not as good as the previous books in the series
- Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold (****) - this one was a reread --- needed some comfort reading when I was down with the flu earlier this week.
- and right now I'm reading Embedded by Dan Abnett

I got Soft Apocalypse through Barnes & Noble's Free Friday promotion for the Nook yesterday. I had to start it right away and I'm really impressed so far.
