Yep that is the new SW book.

It is okay......but not the best of LotF. I think it is better than Bloodlines. It is just kinda weird.

Spoilers.


Alot of people in the book don't even know what a Sith is! Luke and Ben have to explain it to them. How the hell can they NOT know what a sith is with Palps and Vader just leaving less then 50 yrs ago?

Well, I'm also reading Kim Harrison's books now. Decent stuff, not quite as fun or funny as Dresden. But hey, it's urban fantasy, a genre I'm really getting interested in. Swords and horses fantasy is lot less interesting to me now than it was about three years ago; not that I've come to dislike swords and horses, but at this point, I've read so much, it's hard to find something new that I haven't seen yet and is worth reading.

Which leads into a mini-rant: why is so much urban fantasy put into the horror section? Honestly, just because it has black magic and doesn't have swords and horses doesn't make it horror, shesh.

In my stores it's spread between horror, sff and romance.

The only one in the romance section I'm interested in is Marjorie M Liu's Dirk & Steele series. Lilith Saintcrow's Dante Valentine books are a lot more appealing to me now that they've been reissued with more attractive colors. I've heard good things about Vicki Pettersson's Signs of the Zodiac -- apparently more on the heroics side than the fantasy side, which is good. I've got but haven't yet read the first Kim Harrison and the first Charlaine Harris Southern Vampire novel. Rob Thurman's supposed to be good. If you like werewolves there's Kelley Armstrong and whatshername Vaughn. It's a fun genre, but it's getting so huge it's hard to keep track of which ones are worth checking out. . .

Dunno. Mis-labeled? I think it's stupid, too. And I read a review a while back that had a horses-and-swords story but was called "dark urban fantasy." Titles correct, please.

I'm two thirds of the way through The Adventures of Indiana Jones. Raiders was good and Temple of Doom was fantastic. I'm looking forward to reading The Last Crusade as well as Crystal Skull, which I will definetly have to buy. I'm also feeling a strong hunger for more Indy novels beyond the film adaptations. I really hope we get some new Indy books, or at least omnibus editions of the Young Indy series.

The other Boleyn girl is part of an offer here. Maybe I should purchase a copy?

Right now I am reading <i>Thunderhead</i> by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.

Finishd The Adventures of Indiana Jones last night. It was pretty fun read. If you're an Indy fan I'd say it was worth $18 or $20. Highly recommended.

Current reading Murder at the Opera by Margaret Truman, Presiden Truman's daughter. Its pretty good so far. I may have to pick up some more of these.
