 I hate to ruin the magic I hate to kill the dream but once you've been behind the scenes then you'll know just what I mean you might think that its cool to get up on stage and play rock and roll from your heart and soul but no one shows up and your songs all suck and theres no applause and no flying bras no girls will scream for you and no ones gonna sing along with you |

I got my Potter yesterday and I've been TRYING to sit and read it as much as I could! Its frustrating to have to run errands and cook dinner and all that garbage- I just want to hole up and read!

I'm re-reading Elizabeth Moon's Serrano series and I'm then going to work my way back throug her Vatta series. Just finished scampering through Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan series and I'm missing the little guy  |

So would you recommend it then Anne?
I have just finished reading the The Farseer Trilogy and I must say it drove me mad! The main character was so frustrating, but you know what its like you have to follow it all through dont you?
So I really didnt enjoy those books and will not again read anything by Robin Hobb.

Military scifi rather than fantasy, but, yes, I'd recommend them. Lois McMaster Bujold in particular writes very intelligently and has a good range.
Not tried Robin Hobb myself, although I think middle son has one. The fact that middle son only has one is a good indication that they are not worth persuing. Middle son has far more time than I do at present (only having GCSEs to worry about) so most of our scifi/fantasy books are currently lurking in his room somewhere and he is more than happy to offer recommendations.

I tried Rachel Neumeir's Lord of the Changing Winds whilst on holiday and got hooked. It's the first part of a trilogy so I'm looking forward to buying the next two now.

I'm re-reading some Andre Norton - this particular book I bought in a secondhand shop many years ago and was obviously printed in the '60s - VERY loud cover

Middle son bought me a Raymond Feist book for Christmas - quite enjoyed it but he does seem to like jumping four years in a paragraph from time to time which confused me. Mind you, I'm easily confused ...

I have an addiction to Lesley Pearse books at the moment.
I've just finished reading 'Secrets' and 'Rosie' and about to start 'Remember Me'
I can also recommend 'Belle' 'The Promise' and 'Survivor' (a trilogy) 'Gypsy' and 'Stolen' love them all!

I've just started reading "Capital Crimes: Seven Centuries of London Life and Murder" by Max Décharné .
I'm fascinated by history and England's history of capital punishment.
