Thats rocking. You will finish them all before I finish book 3.

Although, retiring in 3 weeks so my reading time after that will increase substantially.

LOL, story of my life. :D Although to be fair, having read them all multiple times before does help speed things up a bit. ;)

Haha, it usually means it takes longer, although in the Malazan case, perhaps not. :D (That said, despite my intentions, it's always harder to skim even the boring bits than I think it's going to be, and both here and in MT I have read more of them than I intended.)

Anyway, I'm abut 350 pages in so far, so I expect about a week or so again, maybe a little longer. :D

Well, started Return of the Crimson Guard last night, so pretty accurate guess. :D

I may revise my opinion of Reapers Gale...I enjoyed it more this time round. Tragic of course, but then, they all are.

Started book 3 Memories of Ice. Only about 5% in but my reading time has increased but we were so busy with retirement and retirement parties, that I haven't read as much as I thought I would. I suspect that will change a lot over the next couple of weeks.

I just finished a biography of Prince Phillip that was pretty interesting but I've been on a fiction hiatus for so many years that I figured it was time to pick up some new ones.

I picked up 2 books - Lies of Locke Lamora and A Court of Thornes and Roses. The latter wasn't something I was too interested in because it's romancy but it's turned out to be a pretty good little story. Easy and quick little summer read without all the typical female romance tropes that typically make me hurl. I'm going to finish that one up before I pick up Locke Lamora.

I have my summer reading list, though:

The Way of Kings, Brandon Sanderson
Sword of Kaigen M.L. Wang
11/22/63 Stephen King
Shadow of the Gods John Gwynne
The King has one more move.
