Doomsday Book by Connie Willis.  I don't know if this is the best thing to read when I'm feeling sick.  Oh, and I just read Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier which I would highly recommend.

Currently just into Devices and Desires by KJ Parker.  Really dense and slow going so far.  Going to be taking a break this Friday though when my copy of Deathly Hallows gets to me.  :)

So (no joke) I was just about to go Google Bartimaeus Trilogy and find out who wrote it.  Last Saturday this guy at the Red Cross (I was giving blood) said that it was a good one and that I should read it, if I hadn't.  So thanks.  Just about finished with Devices and Desires.  Great book.  Am planning on throwing a review up for that and also for The Lady in Black, which I just recently read but haven't had a chance to sit down and write anything about yet.  Also, just got a notice that Red Seas under Red Skies (sequel to Lies of Lock Lamora) is waiting at the library for me.  So, that'll be up next.  Pretty excited for that.  Hope it delivers.  Anybody else read Lies?  Should probably check for a review on that one too.  Later all.

So I, for one, thought that I'd mention that I was reading Mistborn 2.  I know that it's probably an  unstated fact that most of the people who post to this board are doing, or have done, this.  But, you know, for the newbies.  Check it out.

I just finished The Fox by Sherwood Smith.  A good story but it tended to wander a bit and had too much sexual content.  Or maybe it didn't but I'm still remembering the first book.  Anyway, Mistborn 2 is next on my list, since I already read the draft.  I got a copy from the library so my pretty signed copy stays pretty.

Recently finished The Necessary Beggar by Susan Palwick.  Now reading HP5 (for the first time).  And also a bunch of school books related to writing, essays, rhetoric, and teaching composition.

Just finished Letter to a Christian Nation.  It was pretty poor.  Into "A Shadow in Summer" by Daniel Abraham now.  Quite good.

Making Money by Terry Pratchett.  Since I spent almost three hours waiting in a doctor's office yesterday, I managed to get through over 200 pages.  It's hilarious.

Ack!  Three hours?  That's horrid.  But goes to show that you should always have a book with you.  No matter where you go.  :)

Reading The Warrior's Apprentice by Loid McMaster Bujold.  It's okay.  I'm not much into military sci-fi, which is pretty much what this is based on what I've read (up to pg 175 of 200).  The girls in my writers group all think they're the bomb (Miles Vorkosigan books).  So, I got browbeat into trying it.  Hope it goes somewhere soon, but I'll probably end up reading the whole thing even if it doesn't.  Want to give it a fair shot.

Next on my list is The Dragon and the George by Gordon Dickson.  Never read it before.  Another "you should read this" title, from a friend.  :)

Want to get to Evil for Evil by K.J. Parker.  Need to.  Responsibility though.  It's --ick-- sometimes.

Warrior's Apprentice is not the best of the Miles Vorkosigan books.  You should try Vor Game before giving up on the series, since that one is a lot better.

Yeah, I'm kind of having a tough time of it and I'm almost done.  Only other book of hers that I've ever read is The Curse of Chalion.  Didn't much care for that one either.  She writes decently enough, but I just don't much care for what is going on in the story.  I'll give her one more go on your suggestion.  If I don't care for that one though, I might just give up on her books.  Thanks.
