I'm reading Across the Great Barrier by Patricia C. Wrede, and I like it so far, though it's hard because I haven't felt much like reading lately. This was the only thing I've picked up that held my attention for more than two minutes.

It's on my to-read list. I enjoyed the first one quite a bit. Let me know how you like it.

I really liked it. If you liked the first one, I would think you'd like this one too.

As much as I love Lloyd Alexander (he kissed me on the cheek once) his non-Prydain stuff is pretty much all the same. 

While his work does have some similarities, it certainly isn't all the same. The Vesper Holly books and the Beggar Queen trilogy are certainly not interchangeable.

This is the Riddle Master of Hed series by Patricia McKillip. I think it is currently sold as all three books in one volume, but it was originally done as three books: The Riddle Master of Hed, Heir of Sea and Fire, and Harpist in the Wind.

I finished Leviathan Wakes,  and I loved it. It's a mix of science fiction and noir detective, and I would definitely recommend it, though it does use the f-word a few times.

I'm reading The Book Thief for my book club and the new Daniel Abraham for myself.

SPOILERS

I didn't like the first mystery because there wasn't really a reason to the killing. I don't find serial killers particularly interesting, and I've always appreciated that the old Sherlock stories had real reasoning behind who committed the crimes and why. I didn't like the second mystery because I guessed the marks were Chinese characters long before Sherlock did, and I don't like mysteries where I feel smarter than the characters. I don't think I had any problems with the mysteries in the third episode.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I know Dave Wolverton thinks that a pen name should be closer to the beginning of the alphabet.  A lot of people use initials or middle names instead of first names  for pen names.

I'm reading Shadowborn by Alison Sinclair. I really liked the other two books in this series, so I'm excited to see how this turns out.

I thought the characters were a lot of fun in this, but I didn't particularly like most of the mysteries.

Has anyone seen The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? I'm watching the second season with my husband, and we have almost made it through the Endless Eight.

If you liked Shades even a little, you will LOVE Carol Berg.

So I tried Carol Berg once and didn't really care for her. Is her newer stuff better?  Because I LOVE Shades of Milk and Honey.

I finished The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya and really liked them both. Now I'm reading The Queen of Attolia.

I think the show's rules make it so he can't come back since he was already a finalist.
