Book Binge 2009-2010, Part II

[adelynne]

If you're wondering why these things are taking so long, blame Dorothy Dunnett and Francis Crawford of Lymond. Blaming Lymond in particular seems to be a time-honored tradition, so you'd only be joining in. Otherwise, the book binge continues! Once again, spoilers in the discussion of series books, but nothing major.

My copy of Soulless arrived yesterday! But I am finishing The Book Thief before I start it (which is wonderful, by the way, and not a series, so you can read it as a one-off ;)).

Also, hee, Lymond. Must reread those sometime...

Yay Soulless!

I've heard good things about TBF. And I'm on The Ringed Castle, which is leading me to suspect that Checkmate shall be full of melodrama and I shall be annoyed.

[lareinenoire]

There is melodrama in Checkmate, but at least I think it's the good kind of melodrama.

(That being said, Pawn in Frankincense was the book that ripped out my heart and stomped on it. I swear, reading Dunnet requires a healthy streak of masochism.)

To be honest, I was more hurt by The Disorderly Knights than PiF. The body count went way up and the people dying had been around a while.

I know who you mean there, especially toward the end. ::sniff::
