I finished 'Guards,Guards' last night. I loved it! Are there more books with Carrot in them? I liked him, and it doesn't seem as if his story is done yet.

Other than being blue, they sound a lot like my family's ancestors.

Halfway through Gaiman's "American Gods"- excellent!
Fairly dark, and definitely adult fare, but wonderful stuff.

I'm wanting to start The Fifth Elephant, but not until I finish HoME X.

I've just finished Revelation by Carol Berg, and have started Foreigner by CJ Cherryh, both of which are excellent and tempt me to buy the sequels.
A couple of people have recommended Neil Gaiman to me, too, but I'm not sure if his writing is quite my type of thing - no harm in trying, though, I suppose!

The only thing by Neil Gaiman I've read is 'Good Omens', but perhaps after I finish everything I'm reading right now, I'll give him a shot.
Is Foreigner the first book of that series, Aiká? It's been so long since I've read Cherryh that I can't remember.

It is the first book - I'll admit the amount of alien (atevi) vocabulary used without explanation threw me a little at first, but I do like the idea (and it helped when I found the glossary in the back
![]() But there are 8 sequels, so I'll have a nice long reading list to look forward to!

If it's the first then I think I've read it...and several of the sequels. They were quite good.

I just finished 'The Fifth Elephant' - Liked it a lot better than 'Guards, Guards' (which was good, too).

Does anyone know the Bitterbynde trilogy by Cecili a Dart-Thornton? I think many of you would like it .

Nope, not heard of it.

I'm not still reading it as I finished it yesterday, but Snakecharm, The Kiesha'ra volume two, by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. It's young adult fiction- I read volume one (Hawksong) when I was a lot younger (but still kind of old for YA, admittedly). But, it's fun and I like it. The author was very young when she published these books- maybe 16 or so for Hawksong, and her first book when she was 13- so she's kind of an inspiration to me.
They're about shape-shifters mostly. Very fun. I can't put them down until I'm done. I'm still reading Stone of Tears too, the second book of the Sword of Truth series. I like it a lot. It's so cheesy though... |

I just finished reading Katherine Kurtz's Chronicles of King Kelson series... The original trilogy was sooooo much better. I think that she got slightly confused with the later writing she went into with the series.
Since I finished that and needed something lighter to balance me, I'm re-reading the Beowulf Shaeffer book Crashlander by Larry Niven. Really nice because it's short stories that continue, so it doesn't require a whole lot of continuous reading to get into it. |

Finally finished Two Handed Engine, selected short stories of Kuttner and Moore. Collections like this always take me awhile to get through as I usually just read a story every day or two (bed time story
