After hearing about them since registering here at KindleBoards, I have finally started the In Death series of books.
Seems I am always working a series, start to finish. Did Outlander, all of Terry Pratchett, the Southern Vampire series, Kim Harrison's Hollows series, Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, and Sevenwaters Trilogy (+2) this way. Once I finish In Death (alternating with other books...possibly slotting a shorter...three or four book...series in between), I'm planning to move on to K M Moning, who most definitely has her fans on these boards.

I'm a bit over half-way done with "The Name of the Wind." I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Interesting story and main character; not entirely original, but as a friend of mine always says "There are no new stories; just different ways to tell the old ones."  |

I finished my first Alice Hoffman to ring out the old year, and have to say I loved it:  Now I am reading One Day for my first 2011 book and I am hooked:  Also listening to Carol Burnett's Life on audio book:  |

 I am about 39% through this book, and can't put it down. It is by our very own Maureen Miller. I am listening to:  |

I really enjoyed that book. Looking forward to book 2. I'm currently reading  and  Love the Recluse series, though I have them all in paperback still. I've reread them so many times at this point, they're all but memorized. I'm procrastinating on starting my KMM Fever series reread. I need to get moving on it; seventeen days until Shadowfever's release, and it's one of those series where I'm going to need the details fresh in my head before I start on the last book, but eh...I'm still not in the mood to deal with vamps/Fae/monsters/magic/mystery men. I think I might finish this up first:  I'm about 43% through. It's not as good as the first one was, but then again, I really didn't expect it to be. As always though, her books are excellent at putting you right there in the middle of Tuscany, and that's a far cry from being in the middle of a paranormal anything! LOL |

The Hangman's Daughter... almost halfway through it and I have to admit, I'm not quite sure what the daughter is up to but she hasn't been mentioned much thus far!

I'm about halfway through The Arms Maker of Berlin  and finding it getting better. It's two novels in one: A present day hunt for secret archival materials; and a backstory set in WWII-era Germany that takes up half of the book. The back-and-forth can be good or bad depending on your reading tastes. It's working for me just well enough. I'd call this an intelligent thriller. Happy New Year! Steve |

I'm also about halfway through The Hangman's Daughter. It's an interesting historical setting, and the hangman is a great character, but the prose is kind of plodding (may be the fault of translation). I'm interested in what's going to happen though.
I'm also reading This Side of Paradise and finding it alternately highly amusing and slow going. Did Fitzgerald really need to include QUITE so much poetry written by his characters?

I've actually had time over Christmas to catch up with my reading and have three books on the go:  About half way through.  Because my son has to read it for school and I thought I'd keep him company.  Great to dip in and out of. |

I am about 80% into this:  Not sure if I'm going to keep reading the series now or jump off to something else and then come back. I'm loving the series though! |
