I'm now reading Pratchett's Interesting Times

Oh my, this is so funny! Yesterday I was reading about the Silver Horde (really old heroes) learning how to be in a city without pillaging, attacking, robbing and killing, and using 'civilised words'

This book also made me realise how wrong the casting of Two Flowers was in the tv adaptation of 'Colour of magic'!

I finished my Miss Marple (so-so), and started The Woman Who Rides Like a Man (Song of the Lioness #3) by Tamora Pierce. My local library system has a couple of other Tamora Pierce serieses, so I thought I'd better get on and finish this one, even though it meant paying full price for the kindle version, which is against my nature. I prefer to buy hundreds of "bargains" I won't read for years, rather than spending a little extra to buy a book I will read immediately. Anyway, it's pretty short and aimed at a younger audience. I'm a third of the way through it after one evening.

I'm a big Tamora Pierce fan, so if you have some questions or are unsure about the reading order, hit me up.

I'm going with publication order, I think, so The Immortals after this, I believe. I'm going to try and make an effort to read more library books next year, or I'll just forget until they disappear and I am annoyed with myself.

Just 15% into Senlin Ascends and I'm already finding it hard to continue. It reads like a travelogue written by a naive Traveller explaining his naivety. The quick flashback don't help the flow either.

Does it the pace pick up and plot moves?

Sanderson's Starsight is out and I may switch before getting back to this again.

For me it got a lot better after the bath section.

I like the series but a lot of people don’t.

[ScarletBea]

It does get a bit better, but for me it read like short stories, one for each level - and I just didn't care enough for him to wish he'd find his wife (she's better off without him, I think )

I only read book 1.

[Peat]

Just finished The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg, which is a pretty whacked out road trip about 4 80s American college boys who learn about a cult that claims to teach people how to live forever, but the catch is - 4 people apply, 2 live forever, providing 1 of the others is murdered and the other commits suicide. It's engrossing to read because of how deep inside their voices he goes but the actual story itself is very simple; felt somewhat nonplussed at the end but looking back, it's cool.

I dropped it just as he entered the bath level. The writing is beautiful, sure, but I felt the cultural context of the place was just infuriating and just made no sense logically. I also ended up feeling extremely irritated with the main character for his naivety too.

I finished The Woman Who Rides Like a Man. Short and snappy, if a bit unfocused at the end where it's setting up the next book, which I'll read fairly soon, I expect.

I've started The Fated Sky (Lady Astronaut #2) by Mary Robinette Kowal. Another kindle book I have paid full price for and started immediately. I don't know what's wrong with me. Anyway, I loved the first one, and wanted another non-fantasy book by a woman that wouldn't take too long to read, so I picked this.

[The Sword in the Tome]

I'm rereading Dragons of Autumn Twighlight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.  The Dragonlance Chronicles was the first high fantasy series I ever read, and I consider it the beginning of my love affair with the genre. I believe I was 13 at the time. 

Here's hoping I'll still find it as enjoyable at 37.

OMG!!! That is so frigging awesome. Tell me how it goes! Read them at 12 I think. And now also 37.

I haven't reread those for years. I did still enjoy their Rose of the Prophet series on a reread, though. Even now I still love the idea of the kender as a fantasy race.

It does start a bit slow, but it gets better and better as it goes on.

Which reminds me...I still haven't read the other books.

I've started Robert Jackson Bennett's City of Stairs, read one chapter last night.
Interesting and surprising, I think I expected a more 'normal' book, hehe - then again, Eclipse chose it
