What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

After all this time, I'd better ;) And I was just reading the back cover and I found out that Smaug the Dragon is evil. Now I know that Smaug the User's evil also O:)

I just recently saw a book by Laura Frantz and thought it looked interesting, but I haven't read anything by her. I know that Laurie and I like some of the same books, so that's a good recommendation. Thanks, Laurie. I'm going to have to find that book! :D

I just finished "Chateau of Echoes" by Siri Mitchell. I've read it a few times before, but it's good enough to read again! I'm also partway through "Mistletoe Courtship" by Janet Tronstad and Sara Mitchell, but it isn't as good as I had hoped. :(

Yes. Best author ever.

I've read King Raven Trilogy, (it's about Robin Hood) very highly recommend that. I've also read the first two books in the Dragon King Trilogy which I wouldn't really recommend at all, (they're like the first books he wrote, and they're pretty boring, and LOTR rip-off-ish). And I've also read most of the Song of Albion trilogy, and it's not quite as good as the King Raven Trilogy, but still marvelous.

I've been (slowly) reading a mash-up of Boneshaker by Cherie Priest and The Steampunk Bible. I guess I'm in a neo-Victorian mood.

I finished The Journey, it was very good. I'm glad that I only have to wait until next month for the second book. Next up for me is The Crossing by Gilbert Morris. It is the first book in his new series The Last Cavaliers.

I just finished "Everfound" by Neal Shusterman. \:D/ It was absolutely brilliant. And yesterday I read in a single sitting "Uncommon Criminals" by Ally Carter; another excellent novel. (Haaaaaale. :inlove: )
