Finally finished Shaman's Crossing. It was excellent. I think Robin Hobb may be joining my list of favorite authors. I have the second of the Soldier Son trilogy on hold at the library, Forest Mage.
Until then, I may try to read Genesis of Shannara by Terry Brooks, though my enthusiasm for that one has diminished after Robin Hobb's brilliance. However, it's Christmas holidays, and seeing as I finally have time to read, I'm not wasting a day  So I'll probably pick up Wheel of Time again, or reread the Temeraire books. _________________

Oh goodness, I know, right? I nearly passed out when Ammy made it for me.
Anyway, I put aside In Cold Blood for break, and instead am rereading The Children of Hurin. Possibly my favorite Tolkien book ever.

I just got No Country For Old Men and I'm excited to read the book after I saw the movie! I hope I'll have time over the holidays! _________________ >>Be the change you wish to see in the world<<

Reading Sorcery Rising, or whatever the generic fantasy name is. It's quite good, even if I'm 289 pages in and there's still no plot. At least far as I can tell.

Forest Mage, by Robin Hobb. I'm hoping it's as good as Shaman's Crossing was. I love me some epic fantasy.

The Duchess... I didn't see the movie, but I heard what it was about and Georgiana's life intrigues me so I wanted to read the biography that the movie was based off of... quite good so far...never read a biography before so it is interesting to be reading non-fiction per se

How do you like Robin Hobb? I've never read him.
I just finished Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King and I'm still reading The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon. _________________ >>Be the change you wish to see in the world<<

Every single book I can find about the Romanov family, Alexie's hemophilia, the tragic murder, & the mystery of Anna Anderson.

It's a her, actually. She's very good, one of the few fantasy writers who writes in first person, and her worldbuilding skills are impressive. Forest Mage especially (so far) is definitely PG-13 if not higher, though. It's such a relief to find some really good fantasy that is suspenseful and has a believable world and intriguing character development. I also hear that her Farseer trilogy is very good. _________________
