I've grown so attached to everyone now that it'll surely be a challenge to try and read something else when I'm done with the four book instead of just jumping to the fifth! Been quite a long time since I've felt like that about a series, so glad I picked it up :)

Finished Shadow Blizzard -- I was entertained -- and (since it's a pick) started Legend by David Gemmell which I've somehow never gotten around to until now.

I just finished Last Argument of Kings which I loved. The ending was perfect.

November is a bit swamped for me, so I'm hoping to finish Elantris before December since I missed participating earlier this year.

Reading:


Already Read in November:

Riley J. Ford's Into You http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

Lichgates and What Kills Me were fantastic.

Just started How to Raise and Keep a Dragon (well, I thought it would be useful to know, in case someone gives me one).

Also listening to LOTR as a complete audio book - at the moment we're in the house of Tom Bombadil. LOTR is one book I never tire of, however many times I read or hear it. :)

Just finished The Dirty Streets of Heaven, you can check my thoughts about it in my review of the book.

Starting World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War now, quite excited as I haven't read zombie novels in ages!

After 6 months of not reading a single book 'I know not good at all!' i am reading the last book of the Mistborn Trilogy, The Hero of Ages

I am currently re reading the Hobbit. I am also working on "The Child Thief" by Brom and I will be starting the second book of the Mistborn Trilogy.

It's a great book and an awesome end to the trilogy. I have Alloy of Law on hold for December.

Just finished World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War and you can read my review by clicking here.

Next up is The Fires of Heaven, will probably try and stretch the series until the ebook for the last one is released. April was it? I know I'll probably cave in and just get the hardback, but I'll definitely try and hold on!

Finished Legend -- my first David Gemmell but not my last -- and for a complete change of pace started Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan.

after this and then i'll start this

Ive read the dragons path and it can be a bit long winded but the next book in the series is tonnes better....keep at it!

Finished Unspoken, which was truly enjoyable (in the author's note, the phrase "sassy Gothic" is uttered, which I think sums things up quite well), and started Knife Sworn, the second by Mazarkis Williams.

It's ..."

Finished this last night and i have to agree what a fantastic ending, did i expect it to like that ? Nope!

Now reading

Still reading - I would be finished by now if I didn't fall asleep reading at night lol..

Actually took a break from Michael J Sullivan's series and am reading Wool. Interesting change since I am normally a fantasy reader.

Just finished The Fires of Heaven and you can check out my review here

I meant to read something else between each WoT book, but with that ending... yeah, I'm reading Lord of Chaos right away!

I meant to read The Hunger Games after The Fires of Heaven, guess I'll try reading both at the same time and seeing how that goes. Never really tried reading more than one thing at a time in fear that I'd start confusing both, but I suppose they're different enough for that not to be an issue!

Just finished reading Touch of Power which was great! Now I'm on to Scent of Magic .

Yeah - definitely the point I think. I am on book three now. I'll be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of book 2. I stuck with it though since I've heard such good things about the series, and am rewarded by it picking back up again in book 3.

Finished (and enjoyed) Knife Sworn and started Warriors of the Steppes: The Complete Cossack Adventures, Volume Two by Harold Lamb, which technically is historical adventure rather than fantasy, but without Lamb there likely would've been no Robert E. Howard, at least not as we know him today.

I've started reading Red Country and I've been having a little Gemmell kick and reading through the series.

Tood, that's what I've decided to do too. I've just bought Drenai 2.

I need to pick up Red Country. I've enjoyed all the other books.

I'm almost done with 'Longevity' by S.J. Hunter:

Longevity

It's more sci-fi than fantasy, but I'm really enjoying it. Who doesn't love a neuro-enhanced dog?
