Uber User Posts: 526 Location: UK | I'm on my last four Hugo winners too. I'm reading Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge at the moment, and also have: Spin - Robert Charles Wilson Lord of Light - Roger Zelazny Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang - Kate Wilhelm I might try to get at least one more of them in this month, although other things are pulling at my attention. The paperback edition of Joe Abercrombie's Red Country is out this week, here, and I might very well get the ebook if the price drops in line. I read Grass by Sherri S. Tepper for the WoGF, this month. I liked it, although the ebook wasn't great quality. | ||

Uber User Posts: 369 Location: Middle TN, USA | I'm heading down to the "Redneck Riviera" (Or Gulf Shores AL, for the uninformed) for 10 days at the end of the month, and I am bring an entire suitcase full of books with me! So far this month I have: Finished Swan Song - Robert McCammon Finished Ringworld - Larry Niven and have read: Stardust - Neil Gaiman The Princess Bride - William Goldman Blindness - Jose Saramago The Long Walk - Richard Bachman/Stepehn King (IMHO his best work ever) my beach fair: Flatland - Edwin Abbott A Princess of Mars - Edgar Rice Burroughs (I may grab the 2nd in the set also) Z For Zachariah - Robert C' O Brian I am Legend - Richard Matheson Divergent - Veronica Roth ( my choice for WOGF) I plan to grab some audiobooks to listen to on the drive down, I can't read in a moving vehicle, but with 8 hours to kill each way, I should be able to enjoy something. I've already grabbed "How to Survive a Robot Uprising, Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion" by Daniel H. Wilson, | ||

Regular Posts: 96 Location: Cheshire, England | I'm getting through loads of books in May. I might even find one I can finish! At the moment I've got Dance with the Devil by Sherrilyn Kenyon which I picked up in a charity shop as I wanted a bit of fluff (good choice - it'll be finished in 2 days from opening). I've got Storm Constantine's Stalking Tender Prey on the go but finding it hard work. I'm also trying Body's Rising by Pietro Capelli (randomly picked from the Kindle Daily Deals). Of one's I've finished in May I gave up N. K. Jemisin's The Killing Moon, read Sarah Pinborough's A Matter of Blood and read Lilith Saintcrow's The Iron Wyrm Affair which I thought was pretty good. Most of my reading is for the WoGF challenge. And off topic I'm also reading the Fast Diet to see how that works. | ||

New User Posts: 2 Location: Maine | I'm reading Wool, A Killing Moon (loved the other two). On audio Karen Lord's Redemption in Indigo. I was glad to see Sherri Tepper come up on my twitter feed from you all. I haven't read any for a long time, but Grass has really stayed with me. I'm also reading the last four chapters of Captain Vorpatril's alliance (oh so sad to have it end) and still working my way through Reamde. Trying hard not to reread Anathem for the third time. Curse you Anathem for being so delicious. I'm also reading A Madness of Angels which is diverting but not gripping for some reason. Almost done though and I have liked it so that's good. As a first time poster, thank you for your good work on the site. I have found the twitter posts to be really great. | ||
