They were pretty good. But then I love their characters so much, they really can't do much wrong in order for me to read them LOL.. The Dwarven Depths was probably better than High Lord Skies, which is all about Kitiara uth Matar, Raistlin and Caramon's evil sister.DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-75864999758234867382008-01-02T11:58:00.000-04:002008-01-02T11:58:00.000-04:00Thanks Michelle!

I started it this year, but I tend to have a hard time reading books to completion if they are long. I get bored and want to start something else. Not that I don't read chunksters, making up these lists has shown me I read a lot!<BR/><BR/>deslily: Have you read the new books in the Dragonlance series? They take place during the others or something, but they are at least by Weis and Hickman. I have the first one, but since I haven't read the others yet, it will be a while before I get to them.Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-16367560577563284382008-01-02T08:53:00.000-04:002008-01-02T08:53:00.000-04:00Needless to say I am really glad you enjoyed Inkhe...Needless to say I am really glad you enjoyed Inkheart! It's my choice for best YA book I read this year!<BR/><BR/>Sooooo, !! You found Weis and Hickman and Dragonlance eh?!!! I am also glad to hear you like them!! I love Tas too! But I like all the character in that series! I've read the 6 dragonlance books by them and a few others not by them, like the Brothers Majere and Raistlin. I have full intentions on rereading the first 6 dragonlance series again this year, it's been a while. You make me want to push them up on the reread list! lolDesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-60404417176940159452008-01-02T00:43:00.000-04:002008-01-02T00:43:00.000-04:00Wow, great first half of your recap. Can't wait t...Wow, great first half of your recap. Can't wait to read the rest.<BR/><BR/>Sorry you haven't had the same experience with Gaiman that others of us have had. I would encourage you to read American Gods as that is certainly his most award winning and complex novel to date. I certainly feel that it deserves the awards it received as it is a major work of mythology and folklore. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you enjoyed Colleen Gleason's work. She is a very nice person and I'm glad her books are equally as deserving of support. <BR/><BR/>Oddly enough, reading your post reminded me that I actually did start a book this year and put it down in disgust. In fact I just got rid of it. And that was Holly Black's book Valiant. I enjoyed Tithe just fine. Found it a bit awkward at first and a bit darker sexually than I prefer in teen-level reading, but I found it interesting. Valiant just started out awful. I'm in no way a prude and character's sexual preferences or proclivities have never caused me to put a book down, but a fantasy book for teens that starts with hints of sexual interest between too teenage girls and then almost immediately has the mother having sex with the teenage girl's boyfriend was just too much. I felt like whatever she had to say from a fantasy perspective was lost at that point and was not going to be regained. I never, ever throw away books but I just tossed that one. I had no interest and didn't want to pass it on to anyone else either. Which is sad because I love her Spiderwick books that she writes with Tony DiTerlizzi. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I hope you have better luck with your computer for the second half of your post. I think your computer woes are catching...as I was typing this entry the first time my PC rebooted on me. Doh!Carl V.

It certainly looks like you did quite a bit of reading last year (and how you manage it I'll never know!!!).
