Finished Blood Engines, which was a fun read. An Urban Fantasy with an ass-kicking sorcerer who doesn’t wear a leather catsuit, doesn’t suffer from low self-esteem, doesn’t wallow in angst, and is almost always absolutely certain she’s right… even when she’s dead wrong. First chapter here.

Also started Consider Phlebas this afternoon. A couple chapters in and too early to tell if I'm going to like the book.
I still have Blood Engines on my bookshelf. I made it through...chapter 3 or 4. The characters just did not grab me. Don't know why. I usually like tough females. This particular one didn't work for me. I kept the book because other people keep telling me how good it is so I feel I have to give it another shot...
