What are you reading in January 2012?

Those are all tough decisions, Kathi. While I don't know which Anderson or Brust book, I've read a lot by both authors & like them very much, I'd have to say that "The Art of Racing in the Rain" is really, really good. I gave it 5 stars. My review is here:

I also loved Art of Racing in the Rain.

And I love the Brust as well, so I can't help you decide there ;) I guess it depends what you're in the mood for...

I'm still working my way through the short stories in
Interfictions: An Anthology of Interstitial Writing. I really liked the one I read last night, "Burning Beard".

I'm still somewhat sad at her passing. I still have a few earlier collections, etc. to read of hers, but may have to give this one a go, when I finally come to the end of what I have on hand.

I just started The Space Vampires..."

I watched Lifeforce as a youngster, what an eye opener. Viewed it again recently and it seemd quite tame. Interested to see how you enjoy the book

Well, I decided on the Anderson, it's Mother of Kings, kind of a historical fantasy. I hope to finish it and then read the Brust book for the BOTM discussion in February.

[Kevin]

Rereading Gardens of the Moon, still not as good as I hoped it would be.

[Ken]

I finished up Robert J Sawyer's Wonder and while the writing is top notch the story felt like it was missing something.

Started Neil Armstrong's Biography First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong. So far pretty good.

[Jenny]

I finished Room and now I'm starting The Night Circus.

[Kara]

Just started reading The Hidden Goddess, sequel to The Native Star (which I really enjoyed about a year ago). Prologue down, and my interest is caught. It's nice to revisit Steampunk early America, and earthly magics.

I finished Mother of Kings and next up will be our February BOTM, Jhereg. I'm reading it from the omnibus edition, The Book of Jhereg and don't know if I'll continue with the other books in the series or not.

Also have CryoBurn set to read Jhereg.

[Christine]

I'm almost done with The Summer Queen which I've really enjoyed

[Sandra]

Am just finishing The Daemon Prism which is terrific. After that am starting Ship of Destiny and The Last Unicorn.

[Robert]

Earlier this month I re-read The Hobbit, and read The Big Sleep for the first time. Now I'm reading The Fuller Memorandum.

[Christine]

I finished up The Summer Queen which was a good ending to a rather involved story; now I'm starting on Inheritance which will complete another series

[Kerry]

I'm reading Ship of Destiny. After that I plan to read Archangel. But since I still have over 600 pages to go on Ship of Destiny, it's going to be a while before I finish.

It's a chunkster!
