[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

I paused Frankenstein and am reading Fortress of Owls, much more interesting!

Yes, by far. I am proceeding with my reread of Wars of Light and Shadow, currently almost finished with Traitor's Knot and it's leaving me breathless. Also rereading Royal Assassin.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Just did Royal Assassin, cried again! Was going to go straight on but stopped myself. I will have to re-read the last Wurts ready as a refresh for the new. I reread the whole series about a year ago.

Do fancy Smoke and Bone but waiting for the price to come down.

Started Elantris yesterday, enjoying it quite a bit so far. At the same time, I am listening to the Audiobook Version of The Warded Man while I am cycling or riding the bus. Enjoying that one aswell, although I have only heard the first of 17 Tracks so far.

Reading one book and listening to another works pretty well so far, but I am interested in how it will work once more and more characters enter the stories...

Beyond the Shadows, Prince of Thorns, A Dance of Cloaks

[Cecile]

Finished Revelation last night in a reading frenzy. I'll continue with Restoration tonight.

[Sandra]

I finished my reread of the Wars of Light and Shadow just in time! I got an email this weekend that the new book Initiate's Trial is on its way to me, and I checked Kobo to see if I could preorder and they had it! So I downloaded it last night and will be reading it.

I am so excited!

[Kevin]

I am reading the new Drizzt book, Neverwinter that I got last night.

[Nell]

I guess it was a Ballantine month for me. Just finished Geist (Book of Order) by Philippa BallantineGeist. Characters and storyline so good that I ordered Spectyr, the second book in the series while only half way through.
I also finished reading the debut steampunk novel, Phoenix Rising-A Ministry of Peculiar Occurences by Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris. Fun and action packed, can't wait till the next book.

Phoenix Rising

[Jenny]

In addition to Exile, I'm reading Water for Elephants and am listening to Anansi Boys.

[Barbm1020]

Jenny, I loved Anansi Boys! Hope you do too.

[Zel]

Tiger's Curse and The King of Attolia. *sigh*

[Mondspucke]

Started and finished books 1-5 of the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning (was anyone else disappointed by/with (?) the ending?) and now I'm reading Elantris and One Day. (For some reason, when I'm reading something by Sanderson I'm always stuck after the first 100+ pages, so I need something non-fantasy on the side.)

[Sandra]

Started my first McKillip. The Riddlemaster of Hed. Great so far.

[Jenny]

Thanks! I'm only a few chapters in but I already like it a lot. I've definitely fallen for Gaiman's writing.

You're in for a treat. That's one of my favorite series and rereads.

I think that's all I'll have for before Tuesday!

[Joseph]

I finished Shadowheart and, because I wanted something short and because it's been on my shelf for about 20 years now, picked up The Darkling by David Kesterton.

[John]

Night of Knives
