Among all the other things I do, I've been reading quite a bit lately. A few titles that merit comment:
Bad Heir Day by Wendy Holden
Was this book so familiar because I'd read it before, or was it just that predictable? I really can't decide.
The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner
I picked this up under the assumption that I had read her first book, Swordspoint, already, and it had just been so long ago that I'd forgotten everything. Having finished this book, and picked up Swordspoint, I've decided that I was wrong about that, although I'm really not sure how I missed it, because I ate stuff like that up when I was in high school. Anyway, I enjoyed the new book very much, and I recommend it, even if you haven't read the first. Swashbuckling fun, good characters.
The Darkness that Comes Before by F. Scott Bakker

New Naomi Novik out later this month! And there's a new Diana Gabaldon novel about Lord John, too. I'll never read every book ever written at this rate.
ps. The Prince of Nothing review is essentially copy-pasted from Goodreads, a newish book review/social networking site. Definitely worth checking out. I'm owlmoose over there, too.
