Just finished reading The Lies of Locke Lamorra by Scott Lynch. I absolutely loved it, and have put the sequel onto my new reader as it's first ever book download
It's set in a fantasy land not a million miles dissimilar to Venice, and was a great read.
I'm working on my last two paper copy books now, then it's on to the reader and ebooks all the way.
The next book to read is the last in the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time series (with the exception of No. 12 which is being written by somebody else for next year as Robert Jordan died, sadly). That series is awesome, though I have found that the detail everything is described in can get a bit tedious. It's a very good set of books, but I get the impression that it could've been a bit shorter or maybe faster paced and not lost too much.
That could be heresy in the eyes of Jordan fans, but it's just my opinion. I felt I got a lot more out of David Gemmel's books in a shorter period of time.

My last paper book to read is the new Jeffrey Deaver, The Broken Window. Every one of the Lincoln Rhyme books so far has been very well done, so I'm looking forward to it.
I didn't bother with the Sleeping Doll as I felt the Rhyme book that introduced the new franchise character was a bit crap. It was poorly done and very obvious to anyone that's read them all from start to finish that Deaver was shoe horning in a character for a spin off series and the plot/interaction was a bit poor compared to the Rhyme only books.

Bit of a lengthy post there, but one thing I love is my reading!
