I'm reading Crossroads of Twilight. It's definitely slow, but I'm enjoying it so far. I also just finished Misery by Stephen King. I've never read any of his books, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up loving Misery. 

Also, a few weeks ago I read Doomsday Book by Connie Willis, and it's greatIt's basically a sci-fi novel about time travel, pandemics, and the Middle Ages. I recommend it (especially right now because it's about diseases and takes place during December).

Out of Line: The Art of Jules Feiffer, by Martha Fay, and Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turner. I read the second book years ago, but am just starting the first. It's surprisingly good!

Reading Cytonic! Its been a wile since I've read a Sanderson book. And oh how I've missed it! Got hooked immediately and am continuing to lose sleep over the book!

Well, there might be people who have never heard of the Silmarillion. It's nice to list the author just in case.

A bunch of newspaper comics online. Frazz, Stone Soup, Phoebe and her Unicorn, Pearls before Swine, Calvin and Hobbes.

And maybe we just wanna say the author's name!

Speaking of which, I'm excited for next year when we get The Last Metal by one Brandon Sanderson! Maybe we'll get more news soon!

Read all of Lord of the Rings, Cytonic, and the first four Left Behind: The Kids novellas.  Left Behind I thought would be right up my alley, since I was that kid who read Revelation repeatedly when I sat in church with my parents and didn't understand the sermon.  I like the concept, but so far the execution... it's okay.  There's still thirty six more of these, so room to improve, for sure.

I just finished the Shadow and Bone trilogy, Six of Crows duology, and King of Scars (not Rule of Wolves yet) by Leigh Bardugo. 

I also read The Lunar Chronicles and Heartless by Marissa Meyer.

The Throne of Glass series is my current conquest.

@Ookla the Theoretical Yay, another person who has read the Grishaverse! And the Lunar Chronicles! And Heartless!!

I've been reading too many books at once...

Forest Born, book 4 of the Books of Bayern by Shannon Hale

- Oatburger Oathbringer

The Clockmaker's Daughter by [I forgot]

- And a few more that I need to start... But I should probably finish the ones I've already started.

Finished a reread of Phyllis Ann Karr's Idylls of the Queen, which is a retelling of an episode in Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur featuring a poisoned apple, but Karr does it pretty creatively by giving us Sir Kay as the POV character in a detective duo with Sir Mordred trying to figure out whodunnit.

Moving on to The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison - it is quite different from the first book (Goblin Emperor) but I'm liking it as it looks like another murder mystery starring Celehar instead.

Read the second set of Left Behind: The Kids.  I think it's gotten a little better, and the events are decently handled, but there's a lot of telling, and not showing.  I'm waiting until the really funky stuff starts happening to decide how much I'm actually enjoying it.

Okay, I've started getting to the 'funky stuff', (collection three) and my initial thoughts stand.  I did remember that this is technically a tie-in series, and the main series might be better, so maybe after this one, I'll read that.  

Also read Terciel and Elinor, by Garth Nix.  It was good, but I don't have much inclination to read Sabriel.

Plan to start The Pillars of the Earth in the next couple of days.  That one might be a bit of a hit-or-miss.

I finished Jade City. That was great. I read half the book in one day. Went from page 257 to the end of the book at 495

Good to hear! I'll be starting that series soon.
