What are you reading right now? (possible RotE spoilers)

It's given up winking now

I'm reading Night World by L J Smith..three different stories, but as I understand it, all connected. Vampires, werewolves, witches etc and not a bad read so far. Oh, and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini is highly recommended. It's not fantasy or sci-fi, but a thought provoking, powerful and emotional work of fiction that's definitely worth a read.

Given up on Night World, it's drivel! Now reading The Innocent Mage, book one of the Kingmaker Kingbreaker series by Karen Miller. It's a really enjoyable and humorous read so far.

^ Sounds good enough to go on my to-read pile. Once I get this moving business over with (which would be much easier without school in the middle of it all, and loads of testing to boot!), I will stick my nose in a book again.

These beings have just finished re-reading A Dance with Dragons. It did reveal several bits that were not as noticeable the first time around.

A re-read's always good for finding little nuggets previously missed. There was a grisly, but really rather awesome bit that I found on a re-read of ADwD (at least I think it was in that book!) I still can't do a spoiler tag, so I can't tell you what it is..

Currently reading a manga called 'Bunny drop'. It's about a 30 year old guy who finds out about his grandfather's illegal 6 year old daughter at his funeral, and he decides to become her guardian. It's a very touching series.

Indeed it is, fool-ish...

The first one. Now, I know these types of book stretch the imagination and that's no bad thing, if it's done well! The first few pages seemed ok and I was intrigued by the vampire character. However, it soon turned from intrigue to incredulity and then utter predictability. I'm glad it was a cheap as chips charity shop buy, else I'd be extremely put out!

Anyway, feel free to give it a go, but don't say I didn't warn you

These beings read the first of the single books. Unfortunately someone made a mess of it... many lines were messed up, others had missing words and sentence structure was at times lacking...

The story was of similar quality to her other works... Good worldbuilding, but only ok story quality. Still, better than 'thul feared. so a palatability level of boiled cabbage rather than boiled hay...
