Finished up with Obsidian Ridge. For the most part I enjoyed it, but some of Xeries' decisions were questionable. |

I read these when they came out, but I remember enjoying all of the Citadels series. |

I finished Libriomancer, which I quite enjoyed. The magic system used in the book was original and well thought out, and I enjoyed the story a lot, as well.
I was trying to figure out what to read next, and nothing was grabbing me, immediately... I've got a couple of books coming from Amazon that should be delivered tomorrow, but I won't be able to lay hands on them before tomorrow eve -- and I read enough that I need something else, in the meantime!
Then I watched that new Star Wars trailer... I've only got a handful of the Star Wars novels from the now-defunct Expanded Universe, but I think I'm going to be grabbing something from that shelf. The Thrawn trilogy, I think -- that trilogy very much captures the feel of the Classic Trilogy. |

So far I've read the first 2 and think they are pretty solid. With the exception of the first book of the Dungeons series, I enjoyed those as well. |

Starting Sentinelspire to finish up the Citadels series. It's a bonus to me that this book takes place in/around the Hordelands! |

Finished reading The Drawing of the Dark a little while ago. I've been alternating between reading The Night Parade by Scott Ciencin, and volumes 62-64 of the One Piece manga. |

Same here. Although I don't really like the new design for the stormtroopers' helmets. |

I'll count us lucky if that's the only thing we complain about. |

I know, right? Though I prefer to look on the bright side of things; no matter what they do with this film, it will not piss me off as much as the prequel trilogy did. (Unless they really, really screw it up.) |

Yeah, and having Myrmeen Lhal as the protagonist is a definite plus for me! And the Night Parade themselves have such a perfectly 'wrong' feel to them! (To be honest, some of the ones that have been described do remind me of some things that appeared in my nightmares when I was younger.) |

Myrmeen Lhal makes another appearance in Elminster's Daughter though her role is a bit minor. |

I'm now reading Escape from Undermountain by Mark Anthony, I'm about two-thirds of the way through and still not really 'feeling it'... |

I decided to go with Sharps by KJ Parker.
Never read anything by Parker (aka Tom Holt) before, but so far I am glad I chose this one. |

I thought the entire "Nobles" series was underwhelming. |

New job quelled my reading habits a bit, but I finished "Azure Bonds" and really, really enjoyed it. I was NOT keen on a lizard character - but then, it totally worked. Off to the next book in that trilogy! |
