Oooo! I only just picked this one up yesterday, along with the paperback of Pratchett's latest DISCWORLD novel, Snuff. Weekend reading... Woot!

I had the rare opportunity to catch a few hours of reading time yesterday, since it was a national holiday here. It was quite nice to be able to just sit and read.  |

Keeping myself busy with Mistress of the Night while waiting for the rest of my Brotherhood of the Griffon to arrive. I've always had a liking for Selune and her clergy - especially their reverance for Werewolves (well before that changed anyway).
This Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences series have caught my interest. I shall be looking into them. |

The first book was called Phoenix Rising, and the second is called The Janus Affair. The authors are Tee Morris and Pip Ballantine.
Even if you're not into steampunk, the books are quite enjoyable.  |

It's not just the steampunk-element that makes these books such a treat. It is also the vast and diverse complexity of character-types that Tee Morris and Pip Ballantine like to populate their stories with. Fun stuff! |

Recently finished re-reading The Final Empire, Book I of the Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. Still loved everything about this book---the vengeful (and mad) hero (Kelsier), the reluctant heroine (Vin); the 'thieving' crew (Breeze, Ham, Dockson); the system of "magic" (Allomancy and Feruchemy), something never been utilized in fantasy novels before; and the strange, mysterious setting---a land where ash falls eternally and where mists roam the night. Sanderson could have improved the identity of the Lord Ruler, though. Revealing the ruler's true self near the end was rather anticlimactic. Nevertheless, the overall story is quite engrossing. |
Every beginning has an end. |

Since my copy of the hammer and the blade is apparently still making an infuriating number of stops at various postal locations back and forth across the state (if the tracking record on amazon is to be believed), I'm still not reading it yet. That was really my own fault for forgetting to update my address on there, but it's still aggravating.
So, onto another from my housemate's stack of fr books while I wait. Veiled Dragon, it is... |

Ditto that! Usually, when reading an ongoing series, I'll reread all the existing books before reading the newest one, and I try to time it so that I'll get done with the oldest book right before the new one comes out (and inevitably, I over-estimate how long it will take to reread the books by 2-4 weeks). But I'm forgoing that policy with the Fire and Ice books. I won't reread them until the entire series is out...
...and as I recently joked, with the prolonged intervals between releases for those books, my son will be reading them for the first time when the last book finally comes out. And he's only 14 months old right now! |

Speaking of ordering something from Amazon... I once ordered a single paperback novel, from Amazon. And I also ordered some CDs, from CDJapan. The CDs were shipping from Tokyo, and the novel was coming from Jacksonville, Florida -- which is only a couple hours away, by car.
Both orders shipped on the same day.
I had the CDs in hand in less than 48 hours.
It took the book 3 days to get to me!  |

I don't understand why it had to bounce between three neighboring towns when it reached the town I used to live in and was forewarded to my mew address (I moved just across the river, not far at all), bounced out east, and then here. Although when I was in college, my mom sent me a birthday card which had a postmark from Springfield, ma by the time it got to me. She mailed it from Amherst, ma to umass Amherst--five or so miles by car, but it took a couple days 45 minute drive-time trip south before going across town. The us postal service is on crack.

I haven't had much time for reading lately, but I have read a few Star Wars books. The first was Scourge by Jeff Grubb. It was a decent book that followed a non powerhouse Jedi (he was an archivist) out in Hutt controlled space trying to figure out how his apprentice died. Overall I liked it. I liked the main character and I felt a small amount of pity for the villain after he explains his situation.
After that was Wraith Squadron, 5th book in the X-Wing series. A book due out later this year, Mercy Kill, features the members of Wraith Squadron brought back together for one more mission after the events of the recent Fate of the Jedi series. The description of Wraith Squadron for that book was what got me to look into the earlier books and the write up for the Wraith Squadron book is what got me to go ahead and buy them. The team has something of a Dirty Dozen vibe to them. Since it's Star Wars they aren't convicts but pilots getting ready to be busted out of the Alliance military, but the idea of this being their last shot at being worthwhile is the same. There is a nice mix of characters, each with their own baggage and problems, trying to pull off long shot plans. Also, unlike the preceding books, people really die.
Now I am onto the next book, Iron Fist, which also follows the Wraiths as they continue their missions against the remains of the Empire. I am about halfway through and it is good so far. The Alliance is finding out that now they are the ones on the receiving end of an insurgancy and that it can be frustrating to deal with that.
Overall the series has been an interesting look at the non Jedi side of the Rebel Alliance (one pilot not withstanding). I believe I will wait for the other books once I finish Iron Fist because my package from Amazon that had The Gilded Rune in it finally got here. |

The wraith squadron series my by far my favorite of the non jedi Star wars novels and I say this as someone who has read pretty much all of the novels ever written.
In my opinion no one portrays daring and cheeky star fighter pilots better than Aaron Allston.
I recently read the sample chapter of Mercy Kill and cant wait for the rest. |

I agree completely!
I'm currently busy with The City of the Dead. It's a bit slow but not a bad read.
Also randomly bought a few other Realms novels at the bookstore today:
Frostfell
Downshadow
Mistshore
Queen of the Depths
Any of them particularly stand out? Kind of looking forward to QotD by Byers of the above mentioned.

@ LastStand These are all books that I have been wanting to read but just haven't gotten to yet. Hopefully that will change soon.
Am curently reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell.
A thoroughly enjoyable book, its like a fusion of Jane Austen with Tolkien. |

I have never been that good at reading only one book at the time, so here is the current list:
The Collected short stories of Louis L'Amour v.1. I probably stole more ideas from westerns throughout the years than I did from fantasy.
Injustice on Trial - Curt Anders. More Civil War.
Erna Offstad Olaf Bulls lyrikk. En analyse av konfliktene i et livssyn. (roughly: The poetry of Olaf Bull, an analysis of a life view). Not that good; the author has to high a view of some of the images, downplaying the purely sexual images.
Talbot Mundy: Tros of Samothrace. Only started this recently pleasantly surprised; even if I have read Mundy before this one seems more modern in tone than the others.
ACE double: Alien From Arcturus / The Atom Curtain by Gordon R. Dickson and Nick Boddie Williams. One never goes wrong with a ACE double and The Atom Curtain is one of the better ones I have read. |
No Canon, more stories, more Realms. |

Frostfell
Downshadow
Mistshore
Queen of the Depths
Any of them particularly stand out? Kind of looking forward to QotD by Byers of the above mentioned.
Edit: Fixed typo.
Of those, I thought Downshadow was the best, but I enjoyed them all. Most of them somewhat tie into other books as well. Queen of the Depths doesn't directly tie into Rage of Dragons, but it occurs at roughly the same time (if I remember correctly). Frostfell covers a group of elves* that don't get a whole lot of coverage elsewhere aside from the Hand of the Hunter trilogy (which has a tie in to Frostfell) in an area that also doesn't see a lot of coverage. Mistshore offers an interesting take on a part of Waterdeep not often seen and it has a sequel coming out later this year (Spider and Stone) that appears to tie into the upcoming Drow-centric story push (Rise of the Underdark). Downshadow is followed by Shadowbane and it's upcoming sequel and features some truly interesting characters as well as one of Erik's recurring characters (I think it was just one). I don't know if you have an opinion on the ebook thing but the Downshadow and Mistshore sequels are ebook only at the moment. Don't let that interfere with your enjoyment of teh books, but you should have a head's up about it.
*I think they were elves. It's been a while since I read it and they aren't used many other places, so I may be wrong.
As for the SW books, outside of this series most of what I have read is either focused on Force users, or follows the main cast from the OT, or is a Timothy Zahn novel (which doesn't preclude it from also being one or both of the other two) so for me it is nice to see the non Force powered side of SW. I may have to reread one or two of the books that come after these once I am done. |

That is the next Malazan book for me as well, but I need to wait a few more months before starting it. Memories of Ice REALLY seemed to drag for me, mostly because I think I read the first 3 books of the series back to back to back. |

Just started House Of Chains, the 4th book in Malazan: Book of the Fallen.
That is the next Malazan book for me as well, but I need to wait a few more months before starting it. Memories of Ice REALLY seemed to drag for me, mostly because I think I read the first 3 books of the series back to back to back.
I had read the first 7 books in this series back to back so imagine my state. |

Now that is determination! My head might explode if I had tried to read the fourth book right away. Great books, but I just need a little time in between volumes. It's weird because I never felt that way when reading the Song of Ice and Fire books. |
