A Conjuring of Light, hands down is my most anticipated book this month.
A Conjuring of Light? Lucky!
New Hap&Leonard novella by Joe Lansdale? Yes please!
That Robin Hobb character sure writes lots of words.
The Robin Hobb trilogy is one of my all-time favorite fantasy works. New editions, I take it?
A Conjuring of Light!
Coco Butternut is already here on my Read Soon pile.
Can’t wait to get my hands on “A Conjuring of Light”. What a great series so far.
This too shall pass seems appropriate…
Grabby hands for A Conjuring of Light!
Definitely A Conjuring of Light, though I need to read the middle volume first.
Is Coco Butternut a cook book?
If you don’t read Robin Hobb, start now. You can thank me later.
I fear I may be in the terminal phase of book buying. I want all of them!
Thick as Thieves! Unghhhh–it’s been seven years since the last one!
A Conjuring of Light! Really looking forward to this one!
I bought the Robin Hobb books from B&N in an ebook omnibus edition over 2 years ago. Guess I should read them. Also in my “to read” list are the first 2 books in V. E. Hobbs trilogy. So many books, so little time…
I loves me some Robin Hobb. 5 out of 6 series loved, to date, anyway.
THICK AS THIEVES!!!! OMG one of my favorite series ever. Comfort reads! Rereads!
Robin Hobb book 3! Awesome….!!!!
Don’t know how the Fred Vargas is translated, but the original French are amazing crime novels. Read them for a change of pace :-)
You cannot possibly go wrong with Joe Lansdale and Hap & Leonard.
I’ve heard good things about Lansdale, really should give him a try some day.
The Hobb trilogy is good, less OMG the horrible angst than her later stuff (which is still good but it gets kinda old after a bit)
Seishonagan: The translations are wonderful.
The Robin Hobbs for sure! I finished Assassin’s Apprentice last month and I plan on reading the rest of the trilogy this year. Also, the Schwab.
I also have The Gilded Cage, I’ve been curious about it!
I am totally coveting The Reluctant Queen. I just finished the first book in that series, and I really enjoyed it.
So honestly I could not finish the third Assasins Trilogy. I just wanted Fitz left in peace, and she destroyed that :(
There’s a giveaway on goodreads for the Thick As Thieves ARC.
