I'm currently reading An Accident of Stars by Foz Meadows. Have enjoyed Foz's non-fiction writing for a long time, hoping her fiction is as good.

I've just started Ghost Talkers, by Mary Robinette Kowal. In which the British army during WWI uses mediums to take reports from ghosts who died on the battlefield.

Return of the Crimson Guard, Esselmont.

For the first time, I'm actually reading this where it should go, after RG, instead of before it. Despite the annoying Rhulad thing, RG actually has some really heartbreaking scenes.

I am reading the Harry Potter series. Currently just finished book 3. I am loving it, but now want to rewatch all the movies and I don't have them. :(

The Crippled God.

I think I read OST out of order. I misread the reading list and thought it went between DoD and TCG, then I saw it was after TCG.

But...
Spoiler
In OST Krul manifests as a woman, while in TGC (S)He is spoken about as a man...

Yep. So many books, so little time! I'm in book 5 now. It's really great!! I actually was inspired to read the series because my daughter read them all last year and said how good they were. She wasn't wrong!

Finished all the Malazan books, decided to do a quick re-read of Harry Potter. Read 1-3 over the weekend, about half-way through Goblet of Fire now.

Reading these always makes me think of Menolly & Co, through whose auspices I got the complete set, so thanks again Menolly. :D
