Finally got around to buying part 2 and 3 of the Tawny Man trilogy by Robin Hobb, and I'm ridiculously thrilled about Thick. I actually was from the first glimpse of him in part one, because it made me realize how rarely we see characters with disabilities in Fantasy books... or actually in any books at all, unless the disabilities are what the book is about.
(OK, so there is Prusas... but... shameful admittance... I can't even remember if there was any point to him being a cripple, or a reason why the autarch picked him as his scotarch... I don't know why, but I always had a hard time keeping the characters and events of the Shadowmarch series straight. Never had that problem with Tad's other books.)

Finished An Election by Scalzi and I've started Catching Fire (book 2 of The Hunger Games trilogy) by Collins.

Finished Catching Fire in the wee hours of the morning and started Mockingjay. Wow.

Finished Mockingjay. Extremely good reading. Next up is How I Proposed to my Wife: An Alien Sex Story by John Scalzi.

Started reading that ol' Raymond Feist novel "Magician: Apprentice" while I was on vacation last week.  It started out strong, but as I get deeper and the focus drifts from Pug to the other characters, it gets less and less interesting.  Not to mention that Feist hadn't done enough to allay the inherent ridiculousness of a fantasy world getting invaded by "aliens" (the term is used quite often) from another dimension. I feel like when I finish it, it will be because of my own stubbornness rather than any actual enjoyment from the story.

Good golly. Since my last post on the 9th, I've read/finished -

After the Coup, Judge Sn Goes Golfing, and Questions for a Soldier by John Scalzi,

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore,

Spider Bones and Flash and Bones by Kathy Reichs.

Currently reading The Ice Princess by Camilla Läckberg and The Secrets of Ordinary Farm by Tad & Deb.

I finished rereading Dragons of Ordinary Farm today, so I'll start Secrets tomorrow. It's already in my bag, so I don't forget it - train rides and lunch breaks without a book would be a sad thing (and I kind of can't wait for the busy season to be over, and me being the only employee again - I mean, my busy-season colleague is nice and all, but I dislike it when she talks to me during break. I want to read!)

Finished Eyes Like Leaves and started The Blue Girl, both by Charles de Lint. Still reading Ordinary Farm.

Finished The Blue Girl and started de Lint's The Painted Boy.

Finished "Last Argument of Kings", and followed it up with "Best Served Cold". Now I'm reading "The Heroes". Still really enjoying it, but I liked the trilogy much more than the two stand-alones (at least so far...not done "The Heroes" yet).

Tada! Finished Shadowmarch, onto Shadowplay!

Itsy bitsy baby potential spoilers...............

I have noticed that it's very odd the things I remember vs the things I don't remember. Like right now, I have this overwhelming feeling that Skurn (creepy raven thing) is bad, and I don't know why. In Smarch, I had this feeling that Brone was not to be trusted, but I had no idea why I thought that. Now I do! And I swear Jeddin meets up with Qinnitan again. Again, don't know why, maybe I'm just being hopeful?

The human brain is a very odd thing..

Finished Shadowplay, onto Shadowrise! Wheee.

I'm just glad I finally found out where the autarch was going! Qinnitan's part is starting to make sense. I'm a bit confused about the Chert/Opal/Flint storyline, mainly I think I missed a section? As there seemed to be a bit of a jump, so I'm going to have to go back and re-read the end bits of 'play.
