What I've just read: Forgot to do this last week, so more books this week! That, and LCD-screen-induced nausea forcing me to ditch my usual time-wasting computer games. I just finished Martha Wells' The Fall of Ile-Rien trilogy, and generally had fun, though I wish there were more women in the narrative aside from Tremaine. Also got and read Karen Lord's new book, The Best of All Possible Worlds, and generally liked the anthropological stuff and the team stuff, but wanted more in terms of resolution with those. Wasn't particularly into the romance as such, but I've been having that reaction to everything, so I think it's less the book and more me not being in any sort of romance mood.

What I'm reading now: I don't know! Finished the last Ile-Rien book last night and didn't really know what to pick up next.

What I'm reading next: More not knowing! I am tempted to read Death of the Necromancer due to all the trilogy's bits and pieces about Nicholas Valiarde and his compatriots, but I don't have it on hand. Also thinking about a reread of God Stalk, since I bounced off it the first time 'round, or starting the Ben Aaronovitch books.
