TheNinthWord Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Added The House of the Wolfings which I just finished reading today, along with a link to my review of the book on my blog. I thought it was an excellent epic tale, and if anybody here is interested in reading this early example of fantasy literature which inspired Tolkien, there is an e-book version available here.

TheNinthWord Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Added the Shakespeare I've been reading. Forgot about them. I feel like it's cheating, adding plays as books, but I think they're individual enough to include. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNinthWord Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Finished Lud-in-the-Mist just a few minutes ago. Very good book. I'll review it later, then post a link to it. Edit: Post a review on my blog. Link is hereand also in the list above. Edited February 11, 2011 by TheNinthWord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNinthWord Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) Updated with my new Waterstones review book, Lucky Break, and I finished The Seeing Stone on the train on the way home.

TheNinthWord Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Read The Sword in the Stone. I'll get around to reading the entire series soon, but I only need to read the first book for my seminar next week, and I have so much other reading to get done I don't have time for the whole book now. Moving on to Mary Stewart's The Merlin Trilogy now. Again, I'll probably only read the first book, The Crystal Cave. I'll make time to read the rest soon.

vodkafan Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hi Ninthword, one of the books on your read list made me sit up straight. King Of The Golden River I had a very old copy of this book bound in gold leaf when I was a very young kid, profusely illustrated. It was probably a Victorian edition. I used to tag along with my mother to jumble sales and she would give me a few pennies to let me go off on my own. I bought the book only because I had never seen gold leaf before. I didn't remember the title or who wrote it until I read it on your list. I kept the book for years but sadly lost it about 20 years ago. Thanks for the reminder.
