Oooohhh....Cool! Yes! Phedre....I :stillheart: Phedre! What does the next trilogy focus on? Is Phedre still a main character? I may have to go back & review the first series, it's been quite some time...

the second trilogy does have a lot of Phedre in it...the main character is Imriel de la Courcel, sone of Melisande Shahrizai, who is fostered by Phedre and Joscelin, so they are very prominent secondary characters....the third trilogy is 200 years after the 2nd one so Phedre and Joscelin are just histoical figures, but still mentioned a lot b/c they are legendary by now...i am so sad b/c i am tolly caught up and there is no more Terre d'Ange for me until book 2 of the third trilogy comes out next month :angry:

A few months ago, I subscribed to Easton Press's The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written.....today, I received The Analects Of Confucius!!!!!!!!!!!! It's lovely! Most of the books I've received thusfar I had already read and I'm mainly purchasing them to hand down to my daughter one day....and....because I like the look of leather~bound books on my shelves.

Just finished Anita Diamant's Day After Night.
for a radical change, since I'm recuperating, recycling Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlings novels.

I veered away from my whodunits for a few days when R handed me The Alchemist and asked me to read it.
It's an older book, but I found myself captivated as the author told a great story.
There's truly a lesson to be learned in that book.

I started the latest in the daniel silva series 'the rembrandt affair'....I love his books...they are about and israeli, art-restorer-spy...start at the beginning of the series as silva is very good at building his characters and plots...it's engaging, and distracting reading...

Emmy 07-29-2010 08:29 AM

I just started reading The Little Stranger, by Sarah Waters. It's getting very, very creepy...

sylvie 07-30-2010 10:41 AM

i am currently reading nikki sixx's 'the heroine diaries'

jenny 07-30-2010 11:04 AM

Just starting "Fly Away Home" by Jennifer Weiner... I'm usually much more of a non-fiction reader (specifically, autobiographies), but I love Weiner's stuff.

Oh, another goodie: "Schuyler's Monster: A Father's Journey With His Wordless Daughter" by Robert Rummel-Hudson.

*squeee*
 
My current top 5 books are:
  • White is for Witching : Helen Oyeyemi
  • Icarus Girl : Helen Oyeyemi
  • Push : Sapphire (broke my heart)
  • Bad Mother's Handbook : Kate Long
  • Living Dead Girl : Elizabeth Scott (Found in the YA section at the library, had to read it before my 12 y/o kinda-kid could. The book hurt my soul and the 12 y/o that checked it out was told after much thought and discussion that if she still wanted to read it when she was 16 she could. Very heavy subject matter.)

I love Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison, if you haven't read it, I would recommend it.

Back for more recycle reading of books on my shelves. Reading some D.M. Thomas at the moment.

Emmy 07-30-2010 05:14 PM

I'm reading The Little Stranger, by Sarah Waters. It's good so far, pleasantly creepy. It's reminding me a bit of The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson.

I love all of her writing. Bastard Out of Carolina really stuck with me! Wow, what a woman, what a writer!

Going through a cycle (5th time?) of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.. My reward? Getting the new books that have come out after his death and seeing what the ending is!!! 11 books and then he passed away.. True talent he had.. Same thing happened with the Dune series by Frank Herbert.. I just hope that the new books are true to all the charactors, even if it is by a diffrent auther..
