What I've Finished Reading

Wicked Gentlemen by Ginn Hale
I actually finished this about two weeks ago, but since I never mentioned I was reading it I'll still include it here. Wicked Gentlemen is a short two-novella book set in a steampunk-y, Victorian-y pesudo-London. I enjoyed the concept, and I really liked the characters. The plot was thin in both stories, but I'm not really a fan of the detective noir genre, which is what I would call this. But, of course, I loved Bellamai, the POV narrator from the first novella. His tragic backstory woobie-ness is right up my alley.

What I'm Currently Reading

The Rifter by Ginn Hale
Still on my reread, and if you're interested in this series I've got a (spoiler-filled) post about it here. I'll be posting about my reread over here, but I'm also blogging about it (with pictures!) on tumblr at notesfromnayeshi.tumblr.com

The Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett
I have only just started this, but so far I like it. Have you ever read a book just because you saw some cool fanart of it? Whatever, no shame!

What Is Up Next...

The Silent Tower by Barbara Hambly
I was at the used bookstore yesterday and found a copy for $2, so I've bumped this up on the docket. How could I resist with a description like this (from Goodreads):
In her latest novel, The Silent Tower, Barbara Hambly has written a complex tale of dark magic, mystery and deadly danger involving a woman computer programmer who struggles to help a condemned wizard save--or perhaps destroy?--two worlds... "Woman computer programmer"... um, I guess that needs to be distinguished from a "man computer programmer"? *snort*
