I had grand plans of catching up on my reading today. Instead, I read a little bit and took a 3-hour nap. But I did read some more of The Magicians and will probably mute the NCAA tournament and listen to some Wild Cards this evening.

I'm reading The Magicians.
I jumped the gun on that one.
Now that daylight savings is over and the days are getting shorter (and wetter), I hope to catch up on my longggggggggg "to read" list.

I'm also re-reading The Wheel of Time, currently on Lord of Chaos, but I put it on hold since I'm not all that great at reading multiple books at the same time.

I'd really like to read Soulless too, but I don't think I'm going to have time. I love steampunk though.

Soulless is great, reading the Iron Duke kind of makes me miss Gail Carriger!

I'm taking a break from the trilogy for now (mainly because I don't own The Amber Spyglass), and getting back into the Skulduggery Pleasant series with Mortal Coil. I'm 25% into it already and absolutely loving the banter. I'll probably finish this and Death Bringer before picking up the Amber Spyglass.

I'm also going to be reading The Magicians and The Iron Duke ready to take part in my first VF hangout.

I've already read The Magicians, so I won't be reading that again, but I'm going to be reading The Iron Duke for VF and Graceling for another group. As for non-book group reading, I know for sure I have Red Seas Under Red Skies, Alien Proliferation, and a large pile of urban fantasy to work on.

I guess it's on to the book pick after that.

Once I get through finals next month I plan on tearing apart some actual physical books. Whether they be paperbacks or e-books.

Three quarters through Little Fuzzy on audio. Not bad, but I don't want to hear the word 'sapient' again for a long time:)

I'm also reading The Osiris Ritual as i'd put it down a a while ago and am making an effort to finish all the partially read books i have lying around.

I love stimulating the minds and Murakami does it pretty well. :)

I am reading Brandon Sanderson's 3rd Mistborn book Hero of Ages.

And, I hope to get a copy of Horizon by Sophie Littlefield to finish out the trilogy, before I forget the events of the first two books.

I basically saw the first movie and didn't like it all, so just ignored the books and movies completely until 1 month ago, a friend bought me the audiobooks read by Stephen Fry, begging me to forget the movie and give J.K. Rowling a chance - I'm sold, great imagination, 1000x better than the movie.

Hey, maybe you should look into his newest book, The Alloy of Law, which is the Mistborn world set 300 years later.

Great series. I have made it up to Knife of Dreams, and have the next 2 lined up. I think I might have to go back to the beginning and read them from the start once the last book is published :-)

I've also been working on Soulless and A Clash of Kings.

You should! I'm doing a series read with another group here on GR. I was surprised by how many people are reading the series for the 3rd, 4th, 5th time... It must be really good! I'm enjoying it so far.
