I just finished The Strangled Queen, Book 2 in the Accursed Kings, a historical fiction series about the fall of the French Capetian dynasty, opening with the extermination of the Templars. It was a good followup to the first, overall very intense.
Thinking about whether I should start The Firsy Law trilogy or Malazan Book of the Fallen.
i just got all the other Game of Thrones books :3 i'd reckon that at this pace.. its going to take me 4 years to finish them all :l
Right now I'm reading a book about Swiss history in the 15th century. It's not yet translated to English so I can't tell you a title :/
But the last book I finished, actually a shortstory, was by Haruki Murakami about a sleepless woman. The publisher combined it with illustrations, which were pretty dark but accompanied the story nicely.
I just finished The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty. And despite the hokey title, I thought it was tremendously good. One of the most satisfying reading experiences I've had in awhile. I'm usually always a little disappointed by endings. It's almost always easier to have a fantastic beginning or premise than it is for something to have a really solid and cohesive ending. But the epilogue of this book was one of its shining moments. Really great all around.
I'm currently about halfway through The House of Night series. God, these books are so bad and trashy. xD
The last book I read before I started the series was:
Attachment 48950
Seriously amazing book. The best book I've read in a really long time--maybe all year! It touched me in so many ways, I definitely recommend it to everyone, and I know I recommended it to a lot of you who are on Goodreads.
Still reading A Dance with Dragons. It's been like... half a year and I'm only just past half through the book. Give me another six months to actually finish!
I started reading it a few days ago but couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll give it another go.Quote:

I guess I really identified with her because I was bullied and harassed in school.
I am on a break from reading.
But the last one.
Read "Heidi".
I just finished In the Dark of the Night by John Saul. I'm debating whether to start a new book next, or go back to one of the many I started reading then forgot about.
I'm reading Destined, which is the ninth book in the House of Night series. I have two more books in the main series after this, then I'm going to read the two novellas. Then move on to re-read Bridget Jones' Diary now that the new book is out!
I'm on the same book :) Not read much the last few days though as i've been too busy at work. I do most my reading when there's no customers. After i've finished the series i'm going to reread Harry Potter for the millionth timeQuote:
