I'm curious how Blood of Ambrose is. I can't make out some of the titles, but those two are the ones I recommend. ;-)Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127409362906807882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-21095152844885663072009-07-05T17:59:24.020+01:002009-07-05T17:59:24.020+01:00I'm curious to know if you think Twelve is eve...I'm curious to know if you think <i>Twelve</i> is everything everyone makes it out to be...Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15126093513818104194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-28409622637104384372009-07-05T14:46:18.410+01:002009-07-05T14:46:18.410+01:00The Ghosts of Blood and Innocence is the third boo...<i>The Ghosts of Blood and Innocence</i> is the third book in the second Wraeththu trilogy. It's the only one of the six books I haven't read, but it's probably not the best starting point for the series. I'd recommend starting from the very beginning of the first trilogy or at the very least the first book in the Wraeththu Histories trilogy (which is the trilogy this one is a part of). In spite of the name, Histories takes place after events in the original series, except for the first book which fills in the gaps between books 2 and 3. I think they'd make more sense after reading the original series, though.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700004253248186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-51655483631888488472009-07-05T12:53:48.629+01:002009-07-05T12:53:48.629+01:00There is always a reason when you are dipping in a...There is always a reason when you are dipping in and out books. From my experience it means you are not in the right mood for these books. Reading should be fun and not a must. In this case I always read something completely different. I is a good opportunity to "dive" into the last row of your book shelf. I did it last Friday and "found" the German edition of <i>ACACIA</i> by David Anthony Durham. I'm 250 pages in and I really like it.<br />Beside this I saw <i>Twelve</i> by Jasper Kent on your pic. Maybe you try this. I will receive my copy within next week.<br />Anyway I'm sure you will find an enjoyable read.ediFanoBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129248787624088717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-847906627159803762009-07-05T11:40:24.073+01:002009-07-05T11:40:24.073+01:00Exactly how long have you had 'Toll the Hounds...Exactly how long have you had 'Toll the Hounds' on your list now?
