I think you will like The Briar King, I love this series from Greg Keyes. I can't wait until The Born Queen gets here.

Finally thanks to christmas break and seeing the movie I finally sat down and finished The Golden Compass while slapping myself many times over for not devouring it years ago. Young adult novels you say? I can see how they are targeted towards a younger audience, but using a Paradise Lost quote for the trilogy title with Asriel talking about original sin at the end of the book shows that Pullman had a larger audience in mind. (leaves to start Subtle Knife).

So far Termeraire has been very good. Book 1 was bit hard to get into at first but at the end it was VERY good. Book 2 so far has been GREAT all through the story so far. We will see how books 3 & 4 are.
As for The Briar King......That seires is the my FAV. hands down. Read it and enjoy it to the fullest. I can't wait for March.

In addition to my project, about which you can find more over in its own thread, of reading every X-Men comic, I've finished two books so far this year:
Canadian writer Corey Redekop's debut novel Shelf Monkey, which is great fun, and especially a treat for book lovers, and even moreso for those who like Canadian authors; and Lydia Millet's How the Dead Dream, which is a powerfully affecting novel, though not as much to my taste as her previous effort, Oh Pure and Radiant Heart.

I got a new copy of Dune for Christmas (my first copy, which was my dad's, disappeared several years ago and I could never get a hold on a copy from the library), so I'm re-reading that right now. And I'm also re-reading Inkheart when I've had enough of being on a desert planet.

I just recently got hooked on Yu-Gi-Oh! so I'm reading thru the comic series. I've the first 3 in the past 2 days, so now I'm looking for the fourth. I'm still working on Arctic Incedent (I dunno why it's taking my SOOO long to get thru that one!) and I'm about to start A Swiftly Tilting Planet.

Just finished The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper (Fantastic!) and Buried Fire by Jonathan Stroud (Meh, there wasn't a likable character in the whole book.) I'm about halfway through Magyk by Angie Sage at the moment.

This had to be quoted, since hopefully tomorrow, I will polish off "The Briar King", and can then get started on "The Charnel Prince" over the weekend. And you were right; hands down this is now one of my favorite Fantasy settings, and I'm looking forward to catching up to the release of "The Born Queen".

Just started The Thirteenth Tale. No my usual cup of tea, but a couple friends recommended it.

I finished Magyk this morning (Excellent if a bit predictable), did a quick read-through of Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne and have just started The Tenth City by Patrick Carman.
