I expect to finish at least one of these books by tomorrow night, taking me to 15 books for August and 96 YTD.
The above was posted on 30 August, and I did finish Earth Has No Sorrow before the end of the month. Here's what I've read since my last message:
  • 96. Earth Has No Sorrow by Michelle Blake (31 Aug)
  • 97. Shield of the Sky by Susan Krinard (6 Sep,)
  • 98. The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett (12 Sep)
  • 99. Justice Denied by J A Jance (13 Sep)
  • 100. The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch (19 Sep)
  • 101. Dreamer by Steven Harper (22 Sep)

It's set in a fantasy land not a million miles dissimilar to Venice, and was a great read.
I also liked it very much. Although I didn't buy The Lies of Locke Lamora from Amazon.com, I see that they've decided that its sequel would be a good recommendation for me! I'm still considering it, but in the meantime, I bought Brisingr by Christopher Paolini and downloaded it to my Kindle.

I only wish I could go eBooks all the way. I'm currently reading Finders Keepers by Linnea Sinclair in a Mass Market Paperback edition. And, I have the rest of Steven Harper's Silent Empire trilogy to read.

Although I had already read this book, I took advantage of the free copy from Amazon. Over time, I might (or might not) get more of the series in electronic format. Since these weren't "keepers" for me, the price would really have to be right, though.

I'm currently reading:
  • Finders Keepers by Linnea Sinclair (Mass Market PB)
  • Daughter of the Sun by Barbara Wood (Trade PB)
  • Storm Killer by Benjamin Blue (Kindle)
  • High Noon by Nora Roberts (Unabridged audio)

My problem is finding enough hours in the week to get a sufficient amount of reading done! I need some more road trips.
