Yes you. If you're reading this then it means you.

Whatcha reading? Any good? Would you recommend it to me or what caveat would you add?

I'm re-reading the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher. :) It's a little silly, but I enjoy the way the world works.

[keiki_boys]

I do love Harry's attitude. Poor guy spends his life black and blue.

I'm so boring.
I just finished up a Rhys Bowen Welsh cozy mystery and am now cleaning out my brain with Hornblower and the Hotspur.

You're welcome to Napoleon with me. LOL

[keiki_boys]

I do love cozies. Will check that out.

Hornblower and I go hot and cold, sometimes I really enjoy those books and sometimes think I've lost my mind thinking I used to like them. etc etc etc.

But that does put me in mind of watching Sharpe this weekend.

Current read is: How Right you Are, Jeeves, by P.G. Wodehouse. Anything by him is golden, and doesn't really need to be taken in order. (The TV series with Steven Fry and Hugh Laurie is fabulous, too!)

One of the other authors I return to is Anthony Boucher for interesting mysteries, but he's very dated and mostly out of print at this point.

...i've mostly been reading wikipedia, but i was considering picking up Clive Barker's 'Books of Blood' for a re-read.

except that i just realized i don't seem to own them. *goes to look*

i was correct, i don't own them. i'll have to rectify that. in the meantime, i'll probably read The Inhuman Condition instead.

Hmmm Clive Barker, I know he's really popular, but I've not read any of his. Perhaps I'll fix that.

[para_chan214]

for a first-time Clive Barker read, i'd suggest one of his more whimsical works, The Thief of Always. although The Inhuman Condition, which is a collection of short stories, is also good.

Abraham Lincoln the Vampire Hunter

XD it's totally amazing and actually really factual! :D READS IT!

[keiki_boys]

That sounds like it'd be fun. I saw that at B&N the other day and was tempted.

Today I'm reading "Queen of New Beginnings" by Erica James. So far very good, two characters telling each other their stories, drawing you in to their world whilst they draw each other in at the same time. Definitely a curl up on a rainy day book :)

Couple of days ago I finished one of the Weather Warden books by Rachel Caine. Good trashy fun, I love them to bits. AND she's signing here in a couple of weeks and I'm so excited!

I also finished Undomesticated Goddess recently, which I thoroughly loved, by Sophie Kinsella. 20's Girl was also really lovely.

OH! And The First Law trilogy was brilliant! As long as you don't mind a bit of violence, that is. Wondefully engaging characters, though, that you can't help love to hate :)

In a couple of days I will be reading... yikes, not sure, too much on the To Read pile! *_*

If you are up for more recs then I *highly* recommend the two Orphan's Tales books by Catherynne M. Valente, "In the Night Garden" and "In the Cities of Coin and Spice". Wonderful, wonderful books.

[keiki_boys]

wow I haven't read any of that. excellent.
