Wow! That book sounds excellent, since I'm pure Irish, with all of my grandparents hailing for southern Ireland, and I live in "Another World", California, USA.
I like light reading, plus mythology, so I am reading: The Little People, by Neil Philip, Harry N. Abrams, Inc. NY 2002.
Joseph Campbell is my hero. His quote: Follow your bliss!
I just started
The Blade Itself by
Joe Abercrombie. Not having read any of his books before, I'm unsure what to expect, but I've heard some good things about him, so we'll see.
I'm chasing cats through the Red Keep with Arya Stark
Game of Thrones - reread
I'm back in Randland with
A Crown of Swords, book 7. My goal is to be caught up with the whole Wheel of Time to date by the end of 2009. It'd go faster if I didn't read other stuff in between!
I've started the new book
Shifter by
Janice Hardy. Debut author, book just came out the end of October. I have high hopes as its quite hard to be a new author in this economy.
Last night I started to run around Louisiana with Faythe Sanders in
Stray - currently enjoying the trip quite a lot.
#11 - I really enjoyed that one when I picked it up last year; as a McKillip fan (which I see you are from your profile page), have you read it before?
Me, I'm on board a ship setting sail to China in
Temeraire: Throne of Jade.

#13 ncgraham - yes I've read it once before. I love McKillip's writing.
I'm in the King's City with
Fire, just one kingdom over from
Graceling.
I am re-reading The Great Hunt, Book 2 of The Wheel of Time, by Robert Jordan.
I'm in the Hollows with Rachel Morgan (and her mum). The Outlaw Demon Wails - Kim Harrison.
I am in Tortall with Keladry.
I'm in Portland - I just started Magic in the Shadows by Devon Monk
I have just finished a sweet little Fantasy Christmas read. The book has 3 short dragon stories.
We Three Dragons edited by Bill Fawcett.
>12 That's where I am as well.
>17 You're lucky! I wish I was reading that right now. I'm waiting for Christmas.
Finally back to fantasy land! I'm in Discworld again with
Sourcery.
I'm in Pern, with Menolly at the Harper Hall.
(I'm not sure why I keep rereading these books, much as I like the story, the crappy writing always irritates me...)
I am with Cat and Janet at Chrestomanci Castle for the billionth time.
I'm in New Amazonia reading
Carnival by
Elizabeth Bear. I'm pretty sure it was recommended on this group in another thread but I can't find it. I wanted to say I'm really enjoying it so far.
I've recently finished "The Gathering Storm" and have made a mental note to prepare a complete glossary before book 13. At present I am halfway through Trudi Canavan's "The Magician's Apprentice". I still have a few books on my 'Next to be read' shelf but as my children have started phoning with "What do you want for Xmas?" queries I have been looking at what book suggestions I can give. The first to go down is Katherine Kerr's "The Silver Mage".
I just finished another quick journey to Mahapura with Tamar in
The Iron Ring, and enjoyed the trip very much. Review to come shortly.
I just finished
The Gathering Storm, too, Navigator7 (no, touchstone, not the Winston Churchill one!) What did you think? I thought Brandon Sanderson did a great job, and that this one had the pace and interest level of the early books in the series.
I better avoid this thread for a few days - I just started
The Gathering Storm! (hopefully the correct touchstone - hit others and it is the third one down)
I've just finished
Best Served Cold by
Joe Abercrombie and I'm leaving FantasyLand for MysteryLand for my next read.

Just left America (California > San Francisco) and Europe, particularly France, with
The Sorceress by Michael Scott and not sure where I'm going next..

I am now reading Undead and Unworthy by Mary Janice Davidson. It is book 7 in the Queen Betsy series. It is romance, humor fantasy. The POV is a good hearted Valley Girl type who dies and comes back as the queen of the vampires.

I hope you enjoy
Mistborn. I like Brandon Sanderson's writing even better than Robert Jordan's. I'm so looking forward to The Gathering Storm!

I thoroughly enjoyed The Gathering Storm and will be reading more of Brandon's work. I also enjoyed the Magician's Apprentice. At present I'm 2/3 rds through Poison Study by Maria V Snyder. The 2nd of this trilogy is already on my bookshelf and I've just added the last one to my Xmas list.
I recently picked up the boxset for
The Mistborn Trilogy as I'm waiting for the paperback of
The Gathering Storm. Wanted to check out his work as he is generally well regarded anyway. Will be making headway into this in the not too distant future.
i'm in Discworld again (practically live there!) re-reading Reaper Man,
#47...I very much enjoyed
Mistborn! So much so that I wanted to go straight from that one into
The Well of Ascension and was sad that I didn't have it available. So I'll be heading to the bookstore today after work to pick up the next two!
I'm in various parts of Greece and the Greek underworld in
Alcestis.
>54 I just finished listening to the audiobook of
The Graveyard Book on the way home from work last night. Neil Gaiman is a fantastic orator and it really made the book for me. I was almost in tears at the end.
I just read the reprint of
Ariel by
Steven R. Boyett. It was good and fairly absorbing, though it didn't blow my socks off.
>57 - That was an interesting anthology. The two that really stuck out to me were
Rachel Caine's Pirate short story and
Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden short. It was what got me interested in the series to start with.
>58 - I liked Rachel Caine's pirate story too "Dead man's Chest" - I have gone an got my grubby little hands on book one in her weather warden series
Ill WindAlso liked
Lori Handeland’s "Charmed By The Moon" so will keep my eyes out for her books.
Finally received my copy of
The Gathering Storm this weekend and have got a good start on it. I'm impressed with what Brandon has done so far, and I've got almost all his other books so I already had high expectations.
I'm waiting for Xmas to finish the 'Study' trilogy and I've used Alison Croggon's Pellinor series to bridge the gap. I'm two thirds through "The Riddle" at present but I'm going to have to slow down a bit as books 3 & 4 are also coming at Xmas.
