Books in 2011 : November
George R. R. Martin A Feast For Crows & A Dance With Dragons
I loved all five books of the series (and here's to hoping it won't take him too long to get the sixth one out), but I burned myself out a little reading three of them without a break. It's not that they're without humor, it's just that the situation doesn't get any better for anyone, ever, and after a few thousand pages, I started longing for something more optimistic/light-hearted. Like, say, Stephen's King Dark Tower series...

Diana Wynne Jones Charmed Life, The Lives of Christopher Chant, Conrad's Fate, Witch Week, The Magicians of Caprona, Mixed Magics & The Pinhoe Egg
These were pitched to me as "better than Harry Potter" but it took me a while to get hooked. But the more I read, the better I got to know the character, and the more I got sucked into the universe. By the time I was reaching the end of the series, I wanted it to go on forever--I may actually re-read the series again very soon, just so I can spend a little more time with them all.

Bought: September 2011.
Melissa Scott & Amy Griswold Stargate Atlantis: Allegiance
Like the previous books in the Legacy series, I really enjoyed the character moments, and the relationship between members of the team. The writing was a little less good than in the previous two books, but still readable--certainly not the worst SGA tie-in I've read so far.
Bought (Kindle): November 2011.
