I'm going to be reading The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, I really enjoyed his first book, The Name Of The Wind, which is also first person.

Leigh A. (leigharev) | 5 comments I just completed “The Lovely Bones”. Watched the movie right after with my teen boys (it was a blast watching them filled with suspense). Both were really good; although, of course, the book was better. :)

Nancy (nbaker) | 3 comments I read The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco I love magical realism and this was a nice take and different direction. Its a trilogy and now I will probably have to fit the others in somewhere.
