Devil in the White City. I would definitely recommend this book. Please see my review. Listening to it on CD Book made it more interesting than actually reading it.

well, recently finished 11/22/63, currently trying to finish A Feast for Crows.

I enjoyed 11/22/63. I most appreciated King's accurate depiction of the 50's and 60's.
I'm on Clash of Kings right now.

I just finished Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson aka TheBloggess. Her blog is both hysterical and inspiring.

She uses a lot of colorful or "blue" language. But, she is one of the funniest and most creative writers I've ever read.

Periodic Tales:The Curious lives of the Elements by Hugh Aldersey-Williams, in paperback. Coming from a academic/applied science background the history behind the elements was a lot of fun.

I just finished listening to Fall of Giants by Ken Follet. Any lover of history will appreciate this first novel in his The Century Trilogy. This novel takes place during World War 1 and intertwines the lives of normal everyday German, Russian, American, and British characters.

I love Jenny Lawson, Ill have to put that book on my list. I just finished MockingJay and started the summons.

Just finished Obama's America by Dinesh D'Souza

I have listened to all three books in the Century Trilogy, and I like the first two the most. The third book had too much sex in it.

Shattered by Kevin Hearne book 7 of the Iron Druid series.

Oh and Wisp of a Thing by Alex Bledsoe.

Oh and Wolf's head by Steven McKay.
“Well researched and enjoyably written, Wolf’s Head is a fast-paced and original re-casting of a familiar legend. McKay’s gift as a storyteller pulls the reader into a world of violence, passion, injustice and revenge and leaves us wanting more!" Glyn Iliffe, author, The Adventures of Odysseus series. When a frightened young outlaw joins a gang of violent criminals their names – against a backdrop of death, dishonour, brotherhood, and love – will become legend. ENGLAND 1321 AD After viciously assaulting a corrupt but powerful clergyman Robin Hood flees the only home he has ever known in Wakefield, Yorkshire. Becoming a member of a notorious band of outlaws, Hood and his new companions – including John Little and Will Scaflock – hide out in the vast forests of Barnsdale, fighting for their very existence as the law hunts them down like animals. When they are betrayed, and their harsh lives become even more unbearable, the band of friends seeks bloody vengeance. Meanwhile, the country is in turmoil, as many of the powerful lords strive to undermine King Edward II’s rule until, inevitably, rebellion becomes a reality and the increasingly deadly yeoman outlaw from Wakefield finds his fate bound up with that of a Hospitaller Knight… "Wolf’s Head" brings the brutality, injustice and intensity of life in medieval England vividly to life, and marks the beginning of a thrilling new historical fiction series in the style of Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow and Anthony Riches.

Well, the last one I finished was in February, it was The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett. Good lighthearted fantasy that incorporates all the tropes and pokes a little fun while doing so.

I love this series. It's so fun and I love his take on urban fantasy.

The Second World War by Antony Beevor - It's a tome, but hugely detailed and takes you beyond the European/US centric 1939 -1945 war and looks at the wider Asian/Russian pre-cursors - It also reinforces the notion that most of the best war-leaders, be they political or military, are to a greater (Patton/Clark) or lesser (Montgomery/Eisenhower) dicks.

The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin, nice enough period romance.I did not dig the ending at all!

I haven't had much time to read lately with work, I have started many many books, but I think the last book I read was a reread of Sword of Storms.

I just finished listening to the latest Eve Dallas audiobook, but I don't think I would recommend it. The series is fun and fluffy, but this wasn't one of the best. I confess my actual book reading has taken a dive ever since falling into the fanfiction pit. I just finished catching up to the fic "Over Fathoms Deep" by Bittergreens and it may be one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read.

OH... I forgot... I also read a book that my friend, Belinda, is releasing next month. It's called "Red" and it's SO good. She's taking pre-orders here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Belind...

I just finished The Hunger Games because you know, i'm on top of all the latest things lol

The last three books I've read are all unpublished manuscripts...

It's good to be on the inside. :)

Festive in Death by JD Robb

I have been listening to the Gorean Saga novels, they are a mixture of Sci-Fi/Fantasy dealing with a Counter Earth on the opposite side of the Sun, rotating around just in time that the Earth cannot see it. It is ruled by aliens called the Priest Kings and there is slavery and lots of fighting in it. I have been enjoying them, but they are not for everyone. I just finished the book, Priest Kings of Gor, and about to start Nomads of Gor. There are 33 books currently in the series.
