I saw that but I went with Beauty of Robin McKinley which I really liked.
ok, I'll be sure to tell you
So far I don't like it nearly as much as Robin McKinley's two Beauty and the Beast books. The writting is not as good.

The Sword of the Rightful King by Jane Yolen. It seems so good so far! I love the Knights of the Round Table and all the Camelot/King Arthur legends. X3

I'm reading "Komarr" by Lois McMaster Bujold. It's part of the Miles Vorkosigan Adventures.

This is really a great series of scifi stories. Bujold spins a great yarn, with a very believable "hero".

Ok I finished reading it. It was a really quick read. It was a good read but no where near McKinley's books. It wouldn't be a great book to read again. It had some funny chat room talk in it that I found really cool and unique. The only problem with that is I wish there had been one more at the end. And I loved how the witch and parents fit into it. I just thought a lot of it was really see through. It didn't take me more then a few pages to figure out everything that was going to happen in the book.

I would say read it but don't expect to much. It did have a really great bit at the end that talked about the Beauty and the Beast story and gave other retellings.

I'm reading "Diplomatic Immunity" by Lois McMaster Bujold.
It's the last Miles Vorkosigan adventure that I own.

I don't know if she has written any more...I'm going to have to go look it up in the Science Fiction Book Club

I'm reading Suite Scarlett by Maureeen Johnson. I saw the author's name and freaked out, as Maureen Johnson is a character in one of my favorite plays. XD' It's actually a pretty good book!

I just started Blood of Flowers by Anita Amirrezvani. It's supposed to be very intense. What I've read so far is so clearly descriptive, I get totally lost in the story. The author really describes sights and textures better than anything I've read in a long time.

I'm now reading The Foretelling by Alice Hoffman. It's so sad, I had to put it down in the first ten pages and gather myself. D: It's great, though! I wish it was a long book, not so short. ;_;

I've been working my way through a few Tamora Pierce books that I haven't been able to get my hands on in the past. I just finished Trickster's Choice, and then jumped back to the Provost's Dogs books to read Bloodhound. After I finish Bloodhound I'll get back to Trickster's Queen.

Ami, if you love historical fiction, try Alison Weir and Philippa Gregory.

I love her books. I have read and own them all, but the latest one.
I really need to get Bloodhound.

The Phoenix Dance by Dia Calhoun. I don't like it much so far, it's a bit slow, but that's what I thought about the first book I read by her, and it ended up being super good!

I was finally able to get a couple books from my sister the other day, so I'm now reading The Immortal Hunter by Lynsay Sands. I'm so sucked in. I have less than 100 pages left, which makes me sad but in a happy way.

I'm just finishing up Barabbas by Par Lagerkvist right now.
With any luck, I'll be done with it by tonight. It's a rather quick read.

I ended up not liking The Phoenix Dance so I tossed it. I'm back to reading An Evil Guest buy Gene Wolfe, which I was reading a while back, but never finished.

I am now reading Dream Warrior by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I'm only three pages into it, but I'm excited about it. The excerpt I read on her website looked really good.

At the moment I am rereading heir to the shadows it’s a book in the black jewels trilogy. ^-^;; I tend to revisit series of books if I really like them. and as of yet I have not decided what I should read next.

Amara, have you read Tangled Webs yet?
OH! I also saw Shadow Queen is now out in hardback. Me, I'll wait till paperback comes out. But you can still go to the bookstore and sit there reading it!

YES!!! I actually bought both tangles webs and the shadow queen. ^-^ I wanted to wait for the shadow queen to be in paperback but I just couldn’t wait. And yes I loved them, though they are not as good at the original trilogy.
