Ok. I'll try Lee Carroll's books!! I'm still mad at George Martin but I guess he can do whatever he likes to his characters. Ouch! Did I just say that? Only someone who has read past GAME OF THRONES would understand.
Haven't seen Game of Thrones as I don't have HBO. For sure, I'll check it out on Netflix. Wonder what Varys and Tyrion are like. Ooh, and Jon Snow too. "You know nothing, Jon Snow!" So many quotables in his books.
Ok, I'll try book 1. Sounds interesting
Your thoughts on George RR Martin? I've read through the series just to see what happens to certain characters. He is an interestingly sly author. Ok, no spoilers.
I'm curious about Doc by Mary Doria Russell. I luves me a good western story, so keep me posted.
On "A Discovery of Witches," I agree with you. Some of the plot elements are familiar from other books by other authors. She did a great job with backstory and research. Made it a bit unique.
I loved Discovery of Witches. Suspend disbelief and enjoy. Kind of intellectual and romantic too. Lots of great backstory. The action and life threatening stuff comes later.
Hmm -- let me know how Entwined is. Something about that cover is reminding me of the ballroom scene in Labyrinth.
What books would you recommend from what you've recently read?
Not stopped...but I started reading something else after the fourth book....Joe Abercrombie was really good except for the ending...ending was somewhat bad for the heros but good for others...I still loved them all...they are great things...about Violent books I don't know about them...sorry..
Calling you after so long.. I am starting sword of truth series again.. believe it or not I am reading Wizard's first rule for the first time. Last time I started the series from second book till the end. Now that winter came and a month off from college it will be many books for me. Plus studies too.. Ah! And tell me how to add you in facebook?
Many things happened since we last talked but yes everything is looking good now. Hope everything is good with ya...And Jordan?? I thought it was of Terry Goodkind?
Hey! How is this new book "The Laws of Nine"? Just seen that you have read it.Ah! Hello!
I don't know why I didn't include "daughter of the forest" as a favorite. It begins a trilogy, and is wonderfully written! I know it's based on an Irish folk story. However, it is SO sad, and she suffers so much-from her abduction onward,... Maybe that's why. Your guess - good as mine? I loved the second book as there is something about the bad/good guy thing in Bran that is magnetic for me. Marillier's latest is great. It is good to see that writers can follow up with a great story after two previous trilogies. I will check out Passage & take a look at your shelf again. Happy reading & happy holidays!
That's cool. OK, I'll try one of her books. I'm re-reading Anne Bishop's Black Jewel's trilogy. There are things that I missed or didn't pay attention to the first few times, so it's a keeper. Romantic, dark, twisted, male/female roles reversed, etc.,...
Wow, it sounds like you should be joining the "Sookie-Fringe" group. I have to try at least one book by Ms. Harris. My sister is hooked on True Blood (TV spin off of the books).
Have you read any Tad Williams? If so, what did you think? I didn't see any on your shelf; I was surprised.
Thanks for the suggestions. Shadowbridge sounds pretty interesting.
Why do you suppose that so much fantasy is about wars and magical peoples and outcasts and individual characters who have unsuspected greatness inside them? It is because we all feel like little bits of lemon at the bottom of a glass, just hoping to rise up and save the day?? Just a thought...
Nice to see that someone else really enjoys Juliet Marillier and the original Dragonlance stuff. I've gotten hooked on all the Stephanie Meyer books. I'll probably stand in line to get my copy of "Breaking Dawn" when it comes out. I'm a junkie for sure.
