In order to take up the time waiting for a new Dresden Files release, Cold Days, I've been reading G. Norman Lippert's James Potter series which I recently finished. The last book ended in a sort of cliff-hanger way, which made me leave that world kind of abruptly. Now I'm waiting for the 4th book in that series, James Potter and the Morrigan Web.

So continuing with G. Norman Lippert stuff, I started The Riverhouse and though I've been enjoying it quite a lot, I really missed the Wizarding World I'd just left.

In response to this I took a short break and read 2 short stories by G. Norman Lippert that are connected to that Wizarding World, Harry's First Christmas and Merlin's Gift. I liked them both a whole lot. Harry's First Christmas serves as a back story for the Harry Potter books and Merlin's Gift as a back story for the James Potter series as well as connecting in as a back story for several myths and fairy tales.

Anyway, now back to The Riverhouse!! Which, by the way is starting to feel very Stephen King-like!

I just bought another G. Norman Lippert book, his latest, just released last month. It's called Ruins of Camelot and appears to be a straight fantasy, which I don't normally read, but it was the only thing by G. Norman Lippert (I seem to be on a G. Norman Lippert spree) available that I hadn't already read and was only $2.99 at lulu.com.

It appears that Lippert has planned this as the beginning of a series and it's made me rethink my habit of ignoring straight fantasy. I'm anxiously looking forward to the next book (as I also am with the James Potter series)!
I've just begun reading a series written by Dana Stabenow, author of The Kate Shugak Mysteries and The Star Svensdotter Trilogy, called The Liam Campbell Mysteries, starting with the first book, Fire and Ice. I've had a problem not being able/willing to put it down (love it when I feel like that). When I got it it was available for free without DRM infestation at Stabenow.com and will be again when Amazon's promotional exclusive runs out in the Spring.

Come on Jim! Hurry up! I need book 14!
