Finished Wolves Eat Dogs and the next book in the series, Stalin's Ghost. Not sure what I'll read next.

Reading Wolves Eat Dogs, by Martin Cruz Smith. Typically excellent. Also read Strange Country, by Mark Dapin, which is a pretty good collection of humor/travel articles about Australia.

Some of them really struck me, and some were a bit more meh, but I can't actually recall which was which was which without looking at my shelves...which are at my (other/old/ex's) house. I do have The Tower at Stony Wood; In the Forest of Serre; and Winter Rose on my to-be-read shelves right...

You should read the Riddlemaster of Hed trilogy. The Book of Atrix Wolfe is also really enjoyable. I've read a bunch of McKillip in recent years, and they're generally all very good.

Finished The Obelisk Gate, and yeah, what Blue said. Though I still haven't found my copy of Book 1, which makes me sad and a little annoyed. I read A Crown for Cold Silver, which was REALLY good - one of those "couldn't put it down & read way later at night than I meant to" kind of books. A...

Based on comments here, I decided to pick up The Fifth Season, by NK Jemisin. I really like her stuff, so was a bit surprised I hadn't read it already. And yeah, turns out I did. Fortunately, I also got Book 2, so I'll read that. I also have to check my boxes and find the first copy so I can...

I've read Year of the Flood (Atwood) and reading Oryx and Crake right now. Will try to find Maddadam at the big book sale next weekend.

Ooo, Little Big!!!! :D Yeah, I gotta read that one again.

I just read The Weathermonger, by Peter Dickinson. It's an older (1968) book wherein "something" affects the British Isles, creating a loathing of machines and technology in people and animals. Reviews call it a children's book; nowadays it'd be called a YA. Actually very well written; I think I...

I loved that book, but haven't read it in decades. I just found my copy, though.... not currently reading anything. :/

Talking to my roommate last night, and she was telling me how, among other annoyances, she hadn't been able to get into reading Redwall*. So we had a little discussion about her reading habits (mostly vet school textbooks; but loves SF, nonfic, and somewhat fantasy; not a fast reader; liked...

There was a point in my life when I loved Orson Scott Card's work. Now...I don't. It's been years (decades, probably) since I've read Ender's Game, and I read the first few sequels when they came out and then stopped. They definitely decline.

Sure. Pick the one I haven't read. (It won the Hugo. Should be OK. ;) ) (OK, she's apparently written less than I thought. I was sure I'd read at least three different series from her, but it's gotta just be Inheritance and Dreamblood...) In other matters, I do not recommend Sam Sykes. I'm...

Draconic 4 Giant 7 Goblin 1 Orc 8

Abyssal 5 Draconic 9 Giant 8 Goblin 5 Orc 7

I adore NK Jemisin. One of my recent (past 10 years?) favorites.

I've got a policy of disregarding any "Best Fantasy Books" list that doesn't feature either Tigana or Bridge of Birds, or preferably both. (The very best list ought to have Little, Big too....) There's a scene towards the end that always brings tears to my eyes. Not many books do that. And...

Abyssal 15 Draconic 20 Dwarvish 2 Elvish 7 Giant 19 Goblin 21 Infernal 16 Orc 14 Sylvan 9

Gah. I dunno, I've seen the trailer twice so far and been bored both times.
