The Road (Oprah's Book Club)
Cormac McCarthy
Vintage Books
, 2007
Not an English Cozy! Existential Despair Ahead!
No Cormac McCarthy work should be approached carelessly. This is Serious Business - real literature not intended for the meek, those with weak stomachs, or the suicidal (I'm not sure I'm entirely joking). And keep a good thesaurus handy. As always, McCarthy takes the ...
Dark Needs at Night's Edge (The Immortals After Dark Series, Book 4)
Kresley Cole
Pocket
, 2008
Keeps Getting Better
***Mild Spoilers*** Cole's latest is on par with her previous IAD novels, though this one is a little slower in the middle. Other than that slight critism, I have total praise for this book. The reader gets to see the relationship between Neomi and Conrad develop ...

Passage (The Sharing Knife, Book 3)
Lois Mcmaster Bujold
Eos
, 2008
Unexpected and wonderful addition to the series
The way the second book in the series ended I thought that the story was complete. Dag and Fawn's romance, that drove much of the story, seemed to reach a point of resolution. Fortunately, I was wrong. Bujold has sent the story curve into another direction entirely. ...

Magic Burns (Kate Daniels, Book 2)
Ilona Andrews
Ace
, 2008
One of the best fantasy writers!
I'm pretty picky about my fantasty fiction choices since I read so much of it; and I've had to suffer through a lot of badly written books. Books with stupid dialog, formulaic plotlines and characters, and just plain silly worldscapes. SO, I have to say that Ilona ...
The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, Day 1)
Patrick Rothfuss
DAW
, 2008
Excellent Fantasy with the fun of Harry Potter and the realism of George R.R Martin
I've been reading Name of the Wind bit by bit over the past few months, enjoying the warm taste of it a little bit at a time right before bed. It is the sort of book that feels like a warm pillow, inviting but comfortable. Today I finished reading the last one hundred ...
