Couldn't get into Book of the Dead so I've quit :)

Now reading Dearly Devoted Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, one of my all time favourites!

Sisters of the Sword: Crushing the Stone by Maya Snow. It's about two teenage girl samurais. It's nice with good fights and lots of people killed.

Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. In this fantasy inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, instead of one protagonist we follow a group of heroes, just like in a role-playing game. That's interesing. I'm not sure if I'll read all of the book but I think so.

A Fair Maiden by Joyce Carol Oates. At last a book with style, and sexy too. Oates seldom lets me down.

I don't think I'll finish Dragons of Autumn Twilight. The plot is just too weird. They run into one strange thing after another: lizardmen, white stag, spectres, centaurs, forestmaster, in quick succession. Hardly can I return to this after tasting sweet oats.

I love the dragonlance books.

Right now, I'm reading The Burning by R.L. Stine and thinking I should stop buying books because this one's been sitting in my TBR pile way too long. I've moved up to Stephen King by now and I'm not sure I even still like R.L. Stine, but I'll give it a go anyway.

The Mustee (sequel to Mandingo.) I should be banished to hell for reading the literary equivalent of a leaky RV septic tank. Don't tell anyone.

It was the best of Sentences, It Was The Worst Of Sentences. I saw the ad on AW so I looked it out in B & N. Pretty useful.

The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen.

It's kinda freaking me out, though.

In my head.
Foreigner by CJ Cherryh. The woman can WRITE, damnit. But damnit, the first 70 pages are schizophrenic as all hell. For all her skill and mastery of her genre she wasn't (at the time this book was written) very good with transition, i.e. it's never clear when we've just skipped ahead say 200 years. Other than that, enjoying it :)

Also, a book called Click to Calm: Healing the Aggressive Dog. We don't have random aggression, but we do have it on-leash with our large main dog, and I'm interested in working on it. So far so good.

I keep bouncing between books now. Let see what's open on my eReader now! Auralia's Colors by Jeffrey Overstreet, apparently. The beginning was catching so I bought it (only $0.89 on B&N, so I impulsed).

And to continue with the Rizzoli & Isles series, I've been reading The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen.

I've also been debating cracking up Cassandra Clare's newest book, Clockwork Angel, too. I heard it's supposed to be much darker and probably scarier than her last trilogy. We shall see.
