Season two = Book 2 I believe season three will start deviating from that formula. They plan on taking more than one season to cover book three. Oops: I see Latinandgreek covered that. That's what I get by replying before looking at the last page of the thread. |

I finished my Lord of the Rings reread. It made me very happy. I am now reading The Silmarillion. I'm not sure what I'll read after that.

I'm reading Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon at the moment. Bloody marvellous so far.
After that I've go my next indie read/review lined up - The Whitechapel Gambit by Marcin Wrona. Quite enjoyed the sample so I'm looking forward to it. |

Some interesting facts about Little Women that I really didn't pay any attention to when I read this book as a youth. In 1932, somewhat after the book went out of copyright, the original publisher reported selling more than 1.5 Million copies since 1898, thirty years after the initial publication. More interestingly, in a time when the vast majority of book contracts were simple flat fee contracts, Little Women was a royalty book. Overall, an astonishingly successful and influential book for a far larger audience than simply young girls. I'm quite looking forward to reading this again, since I certainly remember virtually nothing from the original reading. |

I'm reading The Black Ice by Michael Connelly. It's the 2nd book in the Harry Bosch series. I really liked the first one (The Black Echo) and this one is just as good. And both were a good price for me, $5.99 each.

Excellent books, Pookeysgirl. I've read all of the Harry Bosch books, and enjoyed them all. There are a couple in the middle that are maybe a bit weak, but nothing that made me want to stop reading them at any point. Though I suspect it's a series best enjoyed at intervals. I'm not sure how well I'd do with it read in one continuous run.

I will definitely be continuing the Honor Harrington series some day, at least the main line, but I want to get some others out of the way first. I have started several new series this year and haven't completed any of them, but that just leaves more for next year. |

Yup. I understand perfectly. Having just saved up Audible credits to buy 11 books in the Liaden Universe by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. All books I'd read, of course, many more than once. But they were just released on Audible, so couldn't resist getting a bunch of them at once. And, of course, devouring them. I'm on book four of the 11. (And as soon as I have more credits, there are 4 more to buy!)

I also plan to start Grave Peril tomorrow after I finished my reread of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I've already started Grave Peril three times without finishing it. I read the first two books in Dutch, witch I realy loved. The rest of the series is not available in Dutch and somehow I'm not getting into it as much in English. Anyway, I give it an other go, because I love the Dresden-world.
