My daughter just finished this minutes ago and informed me that it is my turn. Daddy read it a couple of days ago, in one sitting, so that she would have someone with whom to discuss the book, but she wants me in on it as well. How can I possibly say no. |

I will be done with A Feast for Crows by the end of the month (so Saturday evening at the very last). So far, I don't like it as much as the previous ones, maybe it's because the 4-bundle book is starting to tire me. Another reason is that the rhythm between chapters is quite different on that one. The story is still interesting though, albeit more "serious".
After that, no more A Song of Ice and Fire books for me before a long time. |

I just finished Susan Dunn's 1940: FDR, Willkie, Lindbergh, Hitler-the Election amid the Storm. Good coverage of FDR's third term campaign, and of how Wendell Willkie got the Republican nomination.

After that, I've read The Assassin's Curse by Cassandra Rose Clarke - a YA fantasy I got as part of the Strange Chemistry subscription I bought last year. And a good thing I did - I probably wouldn't have bought it otherwise, since fantasy-world fantasy (not sure I'd want to call it high or epic, but I mean the kind of fantasy that doesn't take place in our real world) usually really isn't my cup of tea, but this was great fun. Assassins, pirates, magic, a kick-ass heroine who is also likeable, and most importantly, no insta-love for the first beautiful boy the heroine meets. I'm glad I already have the second book as part of the subscription, too, as I definitely want to know what happens next. My latest read was one I'd been looking forward to for nearly two years - Wild Justice, the third and final book in Kelley Armstrong's non-paranormal Nadia Stafford series. I found it a satisfying and good conclusion, offering both closure and a future for the characters. |

I started the first book sometimes in June and now I'm part relieved to be done with it and part sad to say good-bye to characters I used to meet often in the last five months. It is, isn't it? There's more scheming, plotting in this book than in others and not the wits of some characters to light the mood. Good thing this is one of the shortest book in the series |

I'm still making a go of it, but I'm not gripped yet. It's an interesting concept but has yet to really go anywhere and I'm already a third of the way through.
