What've You Been Reading?

[sweet_sparrow]

I don't have a whole lot of time right now as it's Crunch Time with the semester's end and several nasty deadlines - for this week! - looming over me (so my apologies if replies are incredibly slow and/or just fall to the wayside altogether in advance). Please can someone have a talk with Time and have it freeze it until I get/feel caught up on stuff? *whinge*

I've managed to get a neat amount of reading done this month - about 15 books in all and a slew of short stories I haven't bothered to keep track of. The most notable reading of the month is no doubt the two thirds of N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance trilogy that are out so far: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and The Broken Kingdoms, both of which I really enjoyed.

Disappointments of the month were Emma by Jane Austen and Sabriel by Garth Nix, neither of which I finished. I may try them again at a later date.

What about you? What's your reading month been like? What stood out in any way?

I've been inhaling Discworld again. Finished Moving Pictures, Reaper Man, Witches Abroad, and Small Gods (which I now want to marry) and started Lords and Ladies.

Other things I finished: The Postman by David Brin, Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlen, and a handful of samples from B&N.

Lords and Ladies is one of my favourite DW novels, though I still have a great many to go. I take it that Small Gods is one of your favourite Discworld novels? ^-^

I think Guards! Guards! is still my #1 favorite, but Small Gods is riiiiight up there.

I also loved Pyramids, if only because it tells us that the greatest mathematician on the entire Disc is a camel named You Bastard.
