Books 2012 update:

#63: Candle in the Storm by Morgan Howell
This is the second book in the Shadowed Path series about a woman who's destined to bear a child to bring about the downfall of an evil entity threatening to destroy the land. It's a fantasy series. It's a little slower paced than most books, but still a good read.

#64: Dune by Frank Herbert

Books 2012 update:

#59: The Woman Worth Ten Coppers by Morgan Howell
This is another reread for me about a knight-type character who has been charged never to carry his own pack. Circumstances require him to purchase a slave girl to carry the pack for him who is way more than he bargained for. It's set in a fantasy world where a dark god called the ( Read more... )

Books 2012 update:

#56: Kingdom of Gods by N.L. Jemisin
This is the third in the Inheritance trilogy. It takes place several decades after the second book. While it is told from one of my favorite character's point of view, it is my least favorite of the trilogy. That being said, it's an interesting book. I will repeat what I said about the first two ( Read more... )

Books 2012 update:

#53: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin
#54: The Broken Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin
These are books 1 & 2 of a trilogy set in a very unique world. This world was created by 3 gods. Way before the first book there was a god war. 1 of the gods killed another god and imprisoned the third, forcing the third to serve mortals for ( Read more... )

Books 2012 update:

#50: A Perfect Blood by Kim Harrison
This is the latest Rachel Morgan urban fantasy book. Yes, I know I had said I had given up on most of the urban fantasy series but I found this one at the library. It was good. I still like the characters and her world. In this one Rachel and cohorts are trying to solve a series of murders that ( Read more... )

It's been a good couple of weeks for reading!

#47: Here There Be Dragons edited by Jessica A. Weiss
This anthology of dragon short stories was amazing. Of course I am biased about this one since the last story in the book was written by none other than yours truly. YES, it's true! This is my first printed publication. So of course I felt my story was ( Read more... )

Yes, another update in just a few days time. I've had more reading time lately.

#44: Going Postal by Terry Prachett
For being such a fantasy fan this is one author whom I've read very little. I've lately decided to change that and this is the first book that crossed my path (technically his second as I have read Good Omens). It's about a guy who's ( Read more... )

Well that's a little more like it. 3 books in 5 days. No, not really. Remember a few posts ago when I said I was reading 5 books at once? 2 of these were part of that.

#41: World War Z by Max Brooks
I'd heard a lot about this book before reading it. Mostly I heard people say I should read it. So I finally did and I have to say it's a very interesting ( Read more... )

2012 Book Update:

#38: Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
This is my first re-read of the year. I have to say I enjoyed the book much better the second time around because I understood the magic system going into it. It's a stand alone book with a great fantasy story.

#39: The Sacred Band by David Anthony Durham
This is the third and final book of the ( Read more... )

So I've sadly slacked a little bit in my reading. Part of it was due to illness (all better now). Part of it was due to me reading... count them... 5 books at once. Don't ask. I guess it depended on my mood. Some of them I've finished. Others are close.

#35: The Stepsister's Scheme by Jim C. Hines
This is the first book in the Princess series where ( Read more... )
