Wolf Hall, The Light Between Oceans, The Forgotten Garden, The Little Friend, Dark Places, A Discovery of Witches,

Amy, I am with lisah on Wolf Hall. DAMN that book is amazing. Even when you know exactly, historically, how everything turns out, it's page turning. Hilary Mantel kicks ass.

I did not like The Light Between Oceans. Read half and then abandoned.

I totally enjoyed Discovery of Witches. It's pretty fluffy and easy to get through. nothing deep.

Actually, The Little Friend sort of hooked me last night. I also reread the first few pages of The Book Thief, so I need to decide.

The Light Between Oceans does seem sort of slow-going. Which was the problem I had with The Snow Child (still unfinished) -- it was simply taking forever to get anywhere.

I'm just waiting for the next Skulduggery Pleasant book (Last Stand of Dead Men) to show up on my doorstep. I should have it Wednesday.

Mine came today. Yay! If only I could say "screw work" and curl up reading for the next few days.

I like the kindle serials a lot! I always liked serials in magazines and, you know, episodic TV is pretty much my thing, so no surprise that the format works for me.

Indexing is a wee bit repetitive, but I figure that's mostly a matter of Seanan figuring out the form. I haven't found it too obstrusive reading the episodes as they are released. My only complaint is that Goosebury Bluff ended and I didn't really realize it. I spent a good month wondering why I wasn't getting notices for new episodes before looking it up on Amazon to find out it's now available as a complete book. It's not even a bad ending, climactic stuff happened and all, it just could easily continue and I assumed it would (I am still assuming there will be sequels or whatever because I have many unanswered questions...)

So jealous! Although my editing test for the AMA is due tomorrow, so I couldn't read LSoDM tonight even if I had it. But it had better arrive tomorrow, because it's my reward for those 2 tough editing tests.

Tep, did you get The Maleficent Seven (Tanith Low!) also? I'm a bit torn as to which to read first...

The serials are a bit repetitive because each installment has to be able to stand alone. She does the same thing in the Velveteen stories, which are fantastic superhero fiction.

Read Maleficent Seven first. There's a Thing that is probably going to be relevant.

Cool, will do.

I mean, a few Things happen, and the whole story feeds into LSoDM (I'm guessing), but...yeah. Definitely a Thing.

I definitely respect the Things that can happen, judging by previous Things. Odd that that didn't occur to me even when I realized there was, in fact, chronological order to consider (which took me a while - I can't even explain that except that literally all I knew about The Maleficent Seven until I had it in my hands was that people who bought Last Stand of Dead Men also bought it (and who the author is, of course))
