Sobre mim35, male sci-fi/fantasy reader who also enjoys history (both fiction and non-fiction) and some classics. I generally value sheer entertainment over other qualities in the novels I read.

My primary goal for maintaining this profile is a personal memory aid (I can always use more of those), but I'm also fond of making lists in general so this helps feed that obsession. It records what I've been reading (regardless of whether I borrowed or own it).

Sobre a minha bibliotecaI've read and own considerably more books than what's listed here, but I'm only adding as I read rather than trying to remember the finer points of earlier ones. I average only one or two books a month. For that reason I'm very careful about what I choose, which is probably (and happily) why I give so many positive reviews. Discounting the occasional impulsiveness, I pretty much know what I'll be reading several months in advance.

Five stars = very impressed, one of the best I've read
Four stars = met expectations; I will recommend this one
Three stars = a bit disappointing, take it or leave it
Two stars = very disappointing, regret reading
One stars = (I won't read these; life's too short)

Thanks for that update on Kushiel series - you've made my day! And I've literally just ordered Naamahs Kiss. Now I have to wait - and I hate waiting.

Always good to hear encouragement. I tend to have a problem where, once starting a series, I find it hard to call it quits unless it becomes truly dreadful, so even though I was disappointed by Inkheart, I could tell that one day, I'd dive back in and attempt the sequel.
Do you know if the film takes from the whole trilogy or just the first book? I only ask as I netflixed the film, but if it's going to use the whole trilogy as its basis, I might send it back. Hm. Must do some research.

Again, thanks for letting me know that the next two get better.

Best,
Alana

Thanks for the info concerning the Mistborn trilogy - I wasn't aware the last book was out yet, and will amend the review. Did you by any chance read the series and was it good?

Nice review of The Autobiography of Henry VIII: With Notes by His Fool, Will Somers

Foreigner is perhaps the CJC best loved by fans - although the first few chapters are a bit awkward, and it's now on book 10 or so which don't quite have the same attraction as the first.
Pride of Chanur and the 4 sequels have her best characters.

Cyteen and Downbelow station are her award winners

I would say Faded Sun is a fine introduction to her style.

Thanks for the comment about Left Hand of Darkness. I think it's just one of those you had to be there books.

Is your catalog just books you've read? It's great to see so many reviews. I'm slowly working my way through reviewing all the books I own.

As we seem to have similar opinions of a few books I'll recommend in passing that you try some of CJ Cherryh's work.

You absolutely should. I really didn't enjoy Gardens the first time I read it, and probably would have given up on the series if I hadn't chanced upon Deadhouse Gates first. Going backwards and reading Gardens in retrospect, it makes a lot more sense. It remains, however, the weakest link in the series. I'm just now starting the series over again, so I can finally move on to books 6 & 7 (long been sitting on my TBR shelf) & 8, which is being released next week. I'd forgotten how great Erikson's writing is, and can't recommend him strongly enough.

Cheers!
Dani

I was so happy to find out they had made the movie, since I loved the book. Wow, what a shock I got.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm sending some old favourites off to a young nephew for his enjoyment. Before they go, I am rereading them and adding them to my library. It is fun after such a long time to go back and see old friends through different eyes.
