I'm still in the Six Duchies wrapping things up with Assassin's Quest. I am definitely going to need to read the Tawny Man books later this year.

I'm out in Oregon, learning from Nina Kiriki Hoffman about The Thread that Binds the Bones.

I didn't get to read as much as I would've liked last month, so I'm still in the last half of The Last Continent.

Just spent a couple of days in Auchinmurn, located in Hollow Earth's cosmology, though it's virtually contiguous with the island of Great Cumbrae, southwest of Glasgow. (Many of you may know one of the two authors from Torchwood and Doctor Who.)

> 6 How are you liking Fires of Aggar? Both of the Aggar books are in my TBR pile.

I'm not finding it as fast a read as the first one. There's also not as much action in Fires as there was in Shadows, but I'm still enjoying it.

I'm finally in Westeros with Martin's A Game of Thrones. I wanted to read this for years, but it needed the series to eventually let me start it...

In Seattle, then Oregon, now Idaho, reading Death and Resurrection. So happy that MacAvoy is writing again, after a long dry spell.

Still visiting the Fortress in the eye of time. It's a slow read but totally absorbing; the world is richly detailed and the characters are fascinating.

I'm traveling war-torn landscapes with the clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous carnies of the Circus Tresaulti in Mechanique.

Finished Range of Ghosts by Elizabeth Bear. Fairly good, but to be honest something about the author's style just didn't grab me.

# 25 Are you going on to the sequels? In my opinion, from a great start, this series only gets better!

Was just in England and Wales in Among Others by Jo Walton. A little light on plot and I'm not sure I believed the bits with magic and fairies. But it was totally worth it for the literary SFF references.

About to delve into Carpe Jugulum. Hopefully I'll have more time to read it than I did with the last book.

Still In Westeros, but going to the Wall in Dance with Dragons which is good cos Jon Snow is great.

I've just finished a very enjoyable stay in Tredana with Sibby in The Broken Citadel, and am now on a somewhat less satisfying journey through the Dales in my reread of Sister Light, Sister Dark.

# 39, Goran: Charles de Lint is one of my favorite authors. I enjoy his urban fantasies muchly.

Was in Ireland during the troubles in Of Blood and Honey by Stina Leicht. Pretty interesting world and I liked the writing. On the other hand, the narrative flow felt a little uneven. I do feel there is quite a bit of potential for this author.

I am Somewhere Beneath Those Waves, a way-out-there collection of delightful short stories from the perfectly twisted brain of Sarah Monette.

Finished The Steel remains a few days ago. Fun romp, but not stand-alone so will have to pick up the sequel sometime.

Now not very far in The glass book of dream-eaters. Liking it, I think. Possibly slow for someone who'd read less quickly than I use to, with extensive scenes of travel, tailing, etc..., but quite atmospheric.
