What I am reading

It's been a good month for book intake. So far, I've finished eight books. Unfortunately, I may be hitting a slump now. I'm currently at Athyra in the Dragaera series, and people Were Not Kidding when they said it was the most godawful boring thing to ever fall off the shelf. Outside of a series, I would have abandoned it a long time ago, but it's got books I'm much more likely to enjoy following it, like Dzur or Issola. I got through Phoenix (which I found more of a chore, personally, than Teckla). I can do this.

Another book I'm reading at the moment is Eat, Pray, Love - which is good, but badly timed on my part, as I'm currently not in the mood for nonfiction. So that's going slowly.

I just finished Melissa Marr's Ink Exchange, which I liked well enough, but I'm unlikely to pick up other book in the Wicked Lovely series, since the main reason I liked IE is due to the protagonist, Leslie, who doesn't seem to be appearing much in the other books.

Man, I want the sequel to The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms to be out already. Or my library chain to pick up Shades of Grey (sequel to Black and White), which is out. Or the next book by, say, Jacqueline Carey or Jim C. Hines. Who've just had books come out this summer. What? I didn't say I was being reasonable.
