    I'm reading several books, at the moment. The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, and The Summoner by Gail Z. Martin. I'm not particularly enjoying the last two but I'm finishing them just for the sake of finishing them.

    I'm reading Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin. It's for school, but I think it's really interesting.

    Skin by Ted Dekker. Let me sum it up in a sentence... That man is a genius who churns out amazing books faster than I can blink. Skin is no exception so far.

    I suppose that'stwo sentences, but whatever. :cool:

    Grass for his Pillow, by Lian Hearn.

    Plus the other two books I mentioned (American Gods and a Feast for Crows). One's on CD, so technically I'm listening to the book.

    Phillipa Gregory - Wideacre

    The blurb said something like "only one person knows what Miss Lacey is planning and can destroy her". Now, I'm halfway through the book and there are so many twists and turns that this mysterious person could be any one of the characters - bloody brilliant!!

    Oh, I loved that book. I think it was one of his scariest stories ever. :)

    I'm reading Charles de Lint's Spirits in the Wires. It's a lovely first person narrative, mostly in present tense. I usually don't like neither, but in his hands... it's just magical.
