How was it? I'm thinking of making this book my B too.

I don't know, I just started it, and decided that it will be my B. But considering that it is due in two days at the library I should be able to tell you soon.

Jim Butcher is going to be my B as well. I'm reading the first in The Codex Alera series. Only about 100 pages in, but it's good so far!

I loved the Codex series, we read it in the sister group a couple of years ago.

So an update:
So far I have read three books:
Tigana 2/5: I didn't like this one. I found it to need serious editing, things were just a big coincidence and apparently people were in love the whole time and their interactions just never showed it.
The Aeronaut's Windlass 3/5: I liked this book a lot. Characters were quirky, thought at moments to the realm of ridiculous. I can't wait for the next book, as the first felt a bit too world-building, though with a solid plot.
The Lies of Locke Lamora 4/5: I loved this. Such a unique, intersting plot.
Currently reading:
Inkheart: I am making my way through this quite slowly; more in between other books. Its good, just I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I picked it up 10 years ago. Still will probably finish the series.

I loved Inkheart as a kid, but the series plummeted quickly for me. I'm not sure if the quality actually got worse or if as I got older, I just lost interest.
I love The Lies of Locke Lamora though! And I'm looking forward to reading The Aeronaut's Windlass.

I am going to start The Lies of Locke Lamora this weekend I think. I am excited!

I love the Gentleman's Bastard Sequence - one of my favourites! :)

It was one of the better books I read this year, so I think you'll enjoy it!
