That's the one that's a sort-of sequel to In Conquest Born, isn't it? C.S. Friedman is one of my favorite, if most frustrating authors. She's just released the second book of her latest trilogy and I'm refusing to read anything in that series until it's done. She just takes too long between books. I've loved everything else she's written though. The Coldfire Trilogy is absolutely amazing.

Sandi, yes that's the one. This author does very sharp work. If the topics are sometimes tough, she's often exceptional at plotting. I guess I don't mind the wait, when the work is that startling or extremely well thought out.

I liked Lighting thief - I like YA and I felt this was a bit "too YA" which I didn't think was possible but that is my best way to describe it. Still it was an enjoyable time reading it and my son LOVES it (He is 14)

Twilight was good and I enjoyed it.
By the end of New Moon, I wanted to slap Bella for her selfishness. Just started Eclipse and she's still showing her selfishness and immaturity. I hope she grows up because I don't think I can stand another book with her the way she is right now.

I decided to focus on fiction this month so only finished two nonfiction works: Joseph Williams' Style and Thomas Burns' Rome and the Barbarians.
Figures of Earth a Comedy of Appearances, James Branch Cabell - the best Cabell work I've read so far (4 stars)
The Born Queen, Greg Keyes - a decent wrap up of the series
The Third Man, Graham Greene - the author's novelization of his and Carol Reed's movie script
Strange Cargo, Jeffrey Barlough - third in The Western Lights series; not as grim as The House in the High Wood but a good entry in the series
Three Bags Full, Leonie Swann - the best sheep detective novel in the genre; great fun (4 stars)
The Lemon Table, Julian Barnes - fictive reflections about death; not as depressing as you might think
The Scarlet Pimpernel, Baroness Orczy
Next month I look forward to Liz Williams' Snake Agent: A Detective Inspector Chen Novel Detective Inspector Chen Novels - finally, one of my groups' monthly selections matches up with my reading schedule - Eve: A Novel of the First Woman, Elissa Elliot; King Jesus: A Novel, Robert Graves; and beginning to reread R. Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series in anticipation of The Judging Eye.

I'm going to start Watchmen tonight, I think. I just bought it yesterday, and even though there are a few others ahead of it, I simply can't wait.
