The Rathbones - such a lovely book

Re-reading (with book club)
The Prophet - I´ve forgotten this book completely (I´d read it 2 times already)

I´m actually raising some books from my "gave-up-on" list, because of my Goodreads book clubs. I just hope I won´t regret it later


message 19: by Greg (new)

Greg Strandberg (gregstrandberg) I'm trying to bust my hump and get done with Mistborn so I can start in on The Lions of Al-Rassan.

The Prophet by Amanda Stevens? I absolutely love her Graveyard Queen series. If you get wind of the release date for book 4
The Visitor please let me know! Have seen a couple of different release dates.

Absolutely!
I´m waiting for the Visitor as well! Hers (Amanda Stevens) website says it´s going to be released in 2014. (no date´d been set yet)

I am trying to provide a correct release date of this book, here on Goodreads, but there´re so many librarians and everyone seem to have a different information.

Amanda Steven´s website is the one I take as correct one:

"The Visitor

The Graveyard Queen Series—Book Four
Paranormal Fiction
2014"

message 24: by Kelly (new)

Kelly Flanagan OMG yesterday I went to pick up my holds at the library and somehow 17 of my holds all came in at once. I thought I'd staggered then out to 3 a week or so.LOL so I have a lot of choice to how I'm spending my reading time.
I'm thinking of starting one of these first
Battle Royale
Wizard of the Crow
Prince of Thorns
and
The Book of Cthulhu
for short stories in between I guess, then on to the rest. wow my brain's gonna pop.


message 25: by Chris (new)

Chris I'm alternating between "The Heroes" by Joe Abercrombie, and the 4th book in the Psalms of Isaak series "Requiem" by Ken Scholes.. great fun, but I know I'll be tearing my hair out for the final Isaak book once I'm done!

Requiem (Psalms of Isaak, #4) by Ken Scholes


message 26: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Just finished Beautiful Bastard (Beautiful Bastard, #1) by Christina Lauren now reading Beautiful Stranger (Beautiful Bastard, #2) by Christina Lauren loving this series

The Psalms of Isaak series is awesome in all ways. Ken Scholes is a great author. It's too bad he isn't more widely known.

Kevin Xu (kxu65) | 530 comments I finished the newest Drizzt, The Companions, which I did not enjoy. Now I'm read A Fortress In Shadow.


message 29: by Joseph (new)

Joseph | 1651 comments Finished Osiris and started The Ocean at the End of the Lane -- better late than never, right?


message 30: by Lára (last edited Sep 10, 2013 09:21AM) (new)

Lára  | 479 comments Sisterland by Curtis Sittenfeld Sisterland

The Hare With Amber Eyes A Hidden Inheritance by Edmund de Waal The Hare With Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance - I never truly believed when people said "I enjoyed every word" until now
It´s probably going to make it to my favourites list

I'm reading Towers of Midnight, very exciting. Went on Amazon UK looking forThe Summer Tree, said it was available to pre-order. Did this and then noticed it isn't released until Christmas day 2019!!

Lol, oooh, six years and then I can read....


message 34: by Joseph (new)

Joseph | 1651 comments As for myself, I finished The Ocean at the End of the Lane, which was unsurprisingly lovely and surprising, and started The Ocean at the End of the LaneTerry Pratchett's Snuff because, well, Discworld.


Tim The Enchanter Last few weren't fantasy but I'm into Heartwood (Elemental Wars, #1) by Freya Robertson at the moments. Got it as an ARC which is always fun. Pretty good so far.


message 36: by Joseph (new)

Joseph | 1651 comments Finished Snuff (because once I start a Discworld book I'm pretty much not doing anything else until it's finished) and started The Shattered Goddess.

Was it good?

Joseph | 1651 comments Sandra wrote: "Was it good?"

Yes, very. No great surprise there. Like a lot of his more recent books, there's a real serious undercurrent.


message 39: by Henry (new)

Henry Odera A little late to the party but I just finished The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson and I've already started The Warded Man by Peter Brett and The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie


message 40: by Elise (new)

Elise (ghostgurl) | 1028 comments Finally finished A Storm of Swords last night. By the end of it I felt like screaming, and then my head exploded...

Moving on to The Rithmatist :)

Lol.


message 42: by Kelly (new)

Kelly Flanagan The Rithmatist was a great book, hope you enjoy. Neat premise to it, and I liked the intricate magic in it.


message 43: by Elise (new)

Elise (ghostgurl) | 1028 comments Finished Emperor of Thorns yesterday on my Kindle. Eh, I have to be honest and say I really only liked the 2nd book of the trilogy. I couldn't really connect with the trilogy as a whole.

Started The Many-Coloured Land


message 44: by Joseph (new)

Joseph | 1651 comments Finished The Shattered Goddess by Darrell Schweitzer and am moving on to the recently-published companion collection, Echoes of the Goddess: Tales of Terror and Wonder from the End of Time.


Tim The Enchanter Just finished my advanced read of Heartwood. While this debut offering has its issues, the author is talented and spins and interesting tale. My review, http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 46: by Henry (new)

Henry Odera Finished The Blade Itself and started The Name of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss


message 47: by Hudson (new)

Hudson (bostonrich) I just finished The Rose and the Thorn and I thought it was great. I had also read The Crown Towerabout a week ago and loved it, can't say enough about the Riyria series.
I have also been on a huge Robin Hobb tear.....read all of the Farseer, Liveship and Fool books, now I am reading Dragon Haven Want to read the Mark Lawrence series and then Discworld. Too little time!


message 48: by Joseph (new)

Joseph | 1651 comments I finished Echoes of the Goddess: Tales of Terror and Wonder from the End of Time and am about to start The Drowning City by Amanda Downum, which is one of those books I've had on my radar for a long time.


message 49: by Justin (new)

Justin (fair-bc) just finished off the infernal devices trilogy and book 1 (city of bones) of mortal instruments. definitely enjoyed the internals better. finished Bastial energy today and started the second book, but I'm torn because I'm also reading firstborn and it's awesome, and book5 of the last apprentice series. too many pages not enough hours.

I'd actually recommend the book by Amanda Downum, and I haven't heard many others starting it, so glad to see someone else! :) I thought it was an interesting take on a main character, so I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing what you think of it.
