| Just finished reading Darkvision and Stardeep. Excellent reads, even with the plugs for the 4e Realms in them (Reference to Abeir being lost and multiple references to the Abolethic Sovereignty). On to reading Temple Hill by Drew Karpyshyn (I read the Darth Bane duology and loved it, can't wait to see what he does for the Realms). |

Finished "Realms of the Underdark" - a good range of novellas within the Underdark setting. Highlights were Ed Greenwood's, Mark Anthony's and Elaine Cunningham's stories. Recommended reading.
Also finished "Tangled Webs" - this was a good follow-up from "Daughter of the Drow". To Ms Cunningham's credit this story is not too combat heavy but (IMO) provides good character development and explores some emotional and personal themes. Highly recommended.
Now on "Sword Play" which I have found interesting to date but seems a little too much like a plug (I guess) for the Netheril products. |

I thought Temple Hill was a great book. Would've liked to see more Realms novels from Drew. |

Glad to hear you liked it. I am trying to fill all the missing holes in my collection and just picked up a copy of it to read when I finish Sentinelspire. |

| I'm way behind in my reading of the FR novels. Strange thing is though . . . I just don't have any urge to read the more recent books. When it comes to Realms fiction, it's Cunningham and Greenwood all the way! |

Well as I said, I haven't read either of them though I'm slowly creeping forward through each year! |

Sharing my newest reading process:
Read and finished 'Death of the Dragon' - it haad its long parts IMO but for me as Cormyrian Lore Collecter it was outstanding in that part. Will have to reread it though as I did not take any notes the first time.
Aside from that I finished 'Venom's Taste' and 'Viper's Kiss'. I liked most parts of them, though i enjoyed the first book of that series more than the second. I will start with the third and last one of Lisas trilogy. Let's wait and see how that one turns out!
So far so long, enjoy your reading.

I just finished reading the Prism Pentad, which I found quite enjoyable.
Now I'm reading Frostfell. I think I'll read a non-Realms book after that, and then come back to visit one of my fave couples in the Realms, Danilo and Arilyn. |

| I'll likely be getting back to a Realms novel shortly... just as soon as I'm done with Margaret Weis's "Dark Disciple" trilogy and the two other books that I'm reading at the moment. Maybe I'll start with "The Citadels" series. |

I just finished Sentinelspire and thought is was really really really good. I have just read 2 of the Citadel books so far (I also read Neversfall) and both were excellent! I have the other two on my shelf and will be reading them shortly.
My FR total read so far now stands at 52. I am quite far behind, but that just means lots of great reading awaits me :) |

Big Al has the Book Club up for Sentinelspire, I would be glad to hear your thoughts there.
As for progress I just finished The Alabaster Staff and started Sentinelspire. Have read 131 realms novels, own 15 more I need to read and am trying to aquire the ones I missed the first time around! |

Greetings ,
Finally finished Shadows Witness ! But I don't have any money to buy the next book and the library doesn't have the Sembia series.... It's not right I tell you! So I'll start/finish Soujourn which will be my 8th FR novel ^_^ I am slowly but surely working my way up there!

| Up to date? Yea right... I am in the middle of Hand of Fire, and I can't even decide what to read next... PLUS about half a year, if the gods of writing watch over GRRM, until I can get my fix... so I have a lot of time on my hands to read more Realms novels... maybe I should make a poll to help me decide what to read next... |

Greetings ,
What series is Hand of Fire in? A poll would probably help you out with your choosing a book problem. Just thought I would concur with your idea !
