You could always make a folder (or collection, as I believe Kindle calls it) for all of the books you've read.

That's what I do. I named it "_Read" so it always shows up at the top.


That's what I do too. Unfortunately, I sometimes read it as "reed" and end up reading books I just read.

9 hrs into Skin Game out of 16. Love'n it. Parkour!!! Was about 3/4 of the way through The Lost Fleet: Dauntless before I had to put it down to start Dresden. It's pretty good. I'll probably continue with the series mainly because they're all free from my library. After these two I'm on to the Martian by Andy Weir.

Reading the Guns of Avalon; loving the Amber series so far. Corwin's humor is great. Also started Garrett P.I. #9 Faded Steel Heat. This series just gets better and better.

Let's see . . .
Read a few Ciaphas Cain stories. A damn shame they are so short, but entertaining stuff none the less.

I've been meaning to finish Karen Miller's Empress this entire season, but the whole manner in which people speak harms my sanity.

And all you people with Skin Game: I shall catch up with you soonish! Having devoured about three books, I'm on Blood Rites. I must say the quality of the series has greatly improved since that werewolf episode. I just love Dresden's dropping Star Wars references all over the place.

Finished Ex Purgatory. Enjoyed it although when it comes to descriptions of Ex bashing I find myself skipping bits... I don't really need to know the exact number of teeth knocked out or what logo is on their t-shirt. Apart from that it was good solid stuff, more of the same with some back story for some of the characters.

I started '14' as it seemed like a good time to read it on the back of another Clines' book. About half way through now, and enjoying it plenty enough to wait a couple more days for 'Skin Game'.
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Just done with Sworn in Steel, enjoyed it, but I hope it don't take 3 years for the next one to come out.

Finished Skin Game; another solid entry in the Dresden files. My favorite part:
Spoiler
. Kind of wish I'd savored this one a bit more instead of marathoning through it. Oh well, now back to the Lost Fleet.

I hope you like 14. I started somewhat 'meh', and then it was like 'whoa' and finally 'HOLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME'.
Clines recently announced he's writing a semi-sequel, same universe, different story kind of thing.

Got Skin Game today but held off on reading it to reread Cold Days. I wasn't planning on it until someone asked me to refresh them on the book and I realized that I remembered almost nothing. I'm nearing the end now and it was definitely a good idea because there was a lot of important stuff I completely forgot about. Normally I have a good memory but I've read nearly 200 books since my previous read of Cold Days.


I also just read the first few Joe Ledger novels by Jonathan Maberry. The protagonist leads a spec ops team that deals with out of the ordinary terrorist threats (like zombies, genetically engineered things, the ten plagues, etc.). Very enjoyable reads so far. I'm definitely a fan of all the action.

Finished GHOST STORY.

For the first third I wasn't sure I was going to like it, decided to take a break, then came back to it.

I am pleased to say it finishes much stronger.

And yeah, most of you are two books ahead so you don't care.

Also currently enjoying FIRST AND ONLY.

Not sure what will be next...
OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, after QT kindly informed me that Claire North is another pseudonym of Catherine Webb, AKA Kate Griffin, one of my favourite authors.

Not finished yet, but so far, it might be the best book I've read this week. :p
I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you.

Just finished Mistborn after The Black Company series. It was meant to be a palate cleanser but boy did the last book pump the gas! I think the ending was well resolved. I find Divine Tier Resolutions seem really popular in my current reading list...

I am now looking at the suggestions from Amp and D'rek, did a few chapters of Stoneweilder as well but that's a casual read, taking it slow, largely because my mind may have had an overload of setting, need to mix up the genres. Just devoured book one of Peter Clines Ex-Heroes in one day. Thank you Abyss. I'm off to Adams to go buy books two and three, Ex-patriots and Ex-Purgatory ASAP.

Ex-Communication before Ex-Purgatory.

3/4 of the way through the Martian; fantastic book. It's about a guy stuck on a Mar's station having to McGyver his way through surviving. And it's really funny. Started Hard Magic and didn't dig it at all. People have superpowers, not magic. Didn't care for any of it. I may try it again later cause I paid $12 for it otherwise I'd ditch it.
