Once again, this is a catch-up post. It looks kind of boring to me, partly because I've immersed myself in so many series, so all I have to offer is "the next book of X."
What I've read lately:
Mort, Sourcery, and Pyramids, all by Terry Pratchett, all as audiobooks in the car or while exercising. These are all rereads (relistens?), but there are a number of the later books I haven't read.
Summer Knight and Death Masks, by Jim Butcher. The fourth and fifth of the Harry Dresden books.
The Sunbird, by Elizabeth Wein. Sequel to The Winter Prince and A Coalition of Lions, and has pretty much shucked the Arthurian veneer it started with. This book completes the first trilogy. I have the other two books from the library, but keep getting distracted by Harry Potter fanfic.
Jurgen, by James Branch Cabell, as a bathroom book. This one is definitely the most Heinleinesque -- and picaresque, for that matter. I think I've read as much Cabell as I need to for quite a while.
Lots of Harry Potter fan fiction, none of which I shall burden you with. If anyone is actually interested, or wants recs, we can talk.
What I'm currently reading:
Battle Cry, by Leon Uris, as a kitchen book. Almost to the end, but I haven't been spending much time in the kitchen.
Blood Rites, by Jim Butcher, on the iPhone. The sixth Harry Dresden book.
Wyrd Sisters, by Terry Pratchett, as a car/exercise audiobook.
The Arm and the Darkness, by Taylor Caldwell. It's one of the historical ones, set during the time of Cardinal Richelieu. Just started this one, and am not falling into it the way I have for others of Taylor Caldwell's books. I think I'll give it 100 pages, and chuck it if I'm still not drawn in.
Best Erotic Fantasy & Science Fiction, edited by Cecilia Tan and Bethany Zaiatz. This has been on hiatus while I've been going through the current Harry Potter fanfic binge, but I do plan to get back to it.
What I plan to read:
More Dresden Files, on the iPhone.
The two remaining Elizabeth Wein books from the library.
A book on dyeing that I bought, and one on spinning different types of yarns from the library. The latter I probably need to buy my own copy of.
More books from the pile by the bedside.
More Discworld books for car/exercise audio.
