3. I picked this to read now because I am rereading this series in preparation for the newest book coming out.
4. Ive had it for a few years now.
5. I love ... #18 Kushiel's Chosen by Jacqueline Carey. Another wild adventure with the redoubtable Phedre. I'm trying to convince myself that I don't have time to pick up the third book in the trilogy, never mind the next trilogy, but I doubt I'll be able to resist.
But have to read the next book club ... Laia, I'm now reading the second book in the series, Kushiel's Chosen. I think the first book is a stunning debut.

But ... ... to the domestic adventures, but I continue to enjoy the series. Time for something different, though; I want to get back to Kushiel's Chosen, considering that it's a library book, and there's a historical novel online that I want to read, also (read it when I was a young'un). Oh, yeah, plus the ... ... Daisy's Folly to occur, and also for the romance to heat up a bit.

Sickening really.
Anyway, I'm passing on The Shack and reading Kushiel's Chosen instead. Ha. I'm back in Terre d'Ange with Phedre no Delaunay de Montreve. It's Kushiel's Chosen, the second book in the series.
56. Kushiel's Chosen by Jacqueline Carey I was surprised to like Kushiel's Dart and Kushiel's Chosen (that's as far as I've gotten to date-I just started the series last week), as I don't much like the "vast empire" type.
I picked up the first book because I'd seen a description of it as "soft core SM porn" and I was curious. Of ... ... Favorites by Colleen McCullough

As always, subject to change at my whim! I am now reading the second in the Kushiel series, Kushiel's Chosen. It took me a while to get into Dart, but when i did...I guess it takes a certain type of person....right, LG?

Kushiel's Dart is the first one, then Kushiel's Chosen, then Kushiel's Avatar which I'm on but haven't started yet. I'm not sure what comes next or how many there are.
