I recently finished reading:
-The New Glucose Revolution Guide to Living Well with PCOS; I definitely recommend it to anyone who has this syndrome
-A Wizard Alone, the sixth fabulous installment in the wizardly world of Diane Duane
I am in the middle of reading:
-The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense
-Story of O
-The Courtesans
I am about to reread, in preparation for the November 8 release of A Feast for Crows (the new book in the series):
-A Game of Thrones
-A Clash of Kings
-A Storm of Swords
Arguably, this series is where I subconsciously got the idea for my name from, as there is a character named Danaerys in it. I strongly recommend this series, btw, to all afficionados of epic fantasy. It is widely acclaimed, and for good reason.
I also have a few books lying around which I will get around to eventually: Napoleon Bonaparte (a biography), Market Forces by Richard Morgan, Blood Price by Tanya Huff, and another Guy Gavriel Kay which I have yet to read.
And books I intend to purchase in the not so distant future:
Diane Duane's Wizards Holiday, and possibly Wizards at War, though I may wait to get that until it comes out in paperback. I LOVE THIS SERIES, and have since I was young. It's aimed at Young Adults, so if you have kids in that age range who would like urban fantasy, consider it strongly.
Also, in the movie category:
Nov 11 - Rent, the movie
Nov 18 - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Dec 9 - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
An excited YES! to all three.
