I just finished Venom's taste and am half way through Viper's Kiss. I really like the characters in the novel and the story line as well. Also the cover art for Viper's Kiss is amazing. |

I am down to only needing to read ten more FR novels (til a new one is released monthly). I am currently working on Master of Chains and then on to finish up the Priest series. |

Well, I had some time over the weekend as I redownloaded every one of my E-tools data sets so they will work with the new version. (don't get me started) Oh well at least I got some reading done. I finished up Conspiracy, Uneasy Alliances, Easy Betrayals, and The Diamond. I don't really see why these get such a bad rap, they were enjoyable to me. I especially liked Ed's pirates, they were great. |

I thought the double diamond triangle wasn't too bad either but i did not like the price i had to pay for the last couple of the novels. |

Unfortunately I had to turn to ebay and pay quite a bit more. I got the first 5 or 6 for cheap but the last 3 I had to pay a lot for. |

Hey there!
I am in no way up to date. I've read the complete Drizzt series, the Cleric's Quintet, the Shandril Trilogy, the five Elminster Books, the Counselors&Kings Trilogy, the Return of the Archwizards Trilogy including the corresponding Anthology, the 4 Lost Empires novels, the 5 Avatar novels and the Shadows of the Avatar Trilogy. That's about it . I currently read Silverfall and have about 66 novels waiting to be read and the pile is growing steadily. I used to think it might be nice to reread all the novels when I am a pensioner (in over 40 years ). But if I stick with my present reading pace I will be reading a bunch of those books for the first time then . Assuming I get that old that is.
Cheers! |

I actually have not finished the Sembia series yet, although it is on my ever expanding 'to read' list. I have read The Halls of Stormweather and Shadow's Witness (as well as the two Cale stories in Dragon magazine) so I should be able to jump right in to the Cale trilogy.
Mr. Kemp's writing style really grabbed me when I read Shadow's Witness, which is why I am moving on to the Cale trilogy before finishing Sembia. I will come back and finish the Sembia series afterwards.
Anyway, my plan is to start Twilight Falling in April so I'll come back and post some thoughts about the series as I go through it. |

Blades of the Tiger
Me I finished Vanity's Brood last week, and am now waiting for the last three parts of WotSQ to arrive. |

I plan on reading Bladesinger when it comes out and following it up with Scions of Arrabar trilogy. Then get book 3 of the year of the rogue dragons and begin the last mythal novels and I will nearly be done with the last few FR novels I have yet to read. |

Bladesinger looks good, I will probably get that one after reading what I have on my plate first. |

I'm hoping to get my copy at the back end of next week. Hope to see you Shirl and Beezy in the book club for this one? I'm quite excited about this novel and if it follows suit of the enjoyment of the previous three books in the series, i'll be more than happy |

Finished the last three in the War of the Spider Queen cycle, and am currently waiting for Jewel of Turmish, The Nether Scroll, Realms of the Deep, and Under Fallen Stars (yay, I'll finally get to read the other two books in the Threat From the Sea-trilogy which I got four months ago...), oh, and Elminster: The Making of a Mage which I've read before, but doesn't own, yet. |

WotSQ is recomendable. Just bought the last book in paperback... I think it is a must read. |
