April's Astonishing, Astounding (and Sometimes Overpowering) Adventures in Reading

[ben1xy]

Just finished the Book of Words series by JV Jones. I feel really disappointed right now. I expected much more but i found many parts of the novels to be lacking. Charactization was not really well done and many of the adult scenes i felt unnecessary esp. with the many maids. Hopefully, i will enjoy her next series better as its supposed to be the better one

to contniue with Dumas, I have plunged into The Vicomte De Bragelonne which I am currently enjoying.

I'm about a third of the way through Renegade's Magic By Robin Hobb... I put off reading it for a while because the 2nd book (Forest Mage) seemed to drag on a bit too much fo rmy liking, but then I decided I should probably read it before I forget what happened in the first 2 books. So far so good, I like finding out about the Speck culture and can't wait to see how the story ends (I just don't see how a good ending can be achieved).

My TBR Pile has just grown to 100 so I've told myself to stop buying more books until I've read the ones I've got... what's the chances that's going to happen?

After Renegades Magic I think I'll read Treasured One By David & Leigh Eddings or Acorna's World By Anne McCaffrey

Just finished the first Hitch-hiker book, which was...nice...in a Pratchett lite way. Never particularly amazing or outright hilarious, but nice.

Sometimes i really wish they would have written the dreamers series differently. Personally, i found it to be a real let down. This coming from a huge fan of David Eddings

What would you have liked to be different? The only other series I've read by Eddings (so far) is the Elenium Trilogy. I really loved it and went out to buy loads more Eddings lol
