Holy Snikes--It's September already!

I can't believe it's been almost six since months since the last post. I've been extremely lax to say the least.

I've finally read all the Dresden Files books and I am eagerly awaiting the next book "Changes" which will be out in April.

Until then, I am currently rereading George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. This will be my third time reading the entire series and I hope that the next volume will be out shortly after my reread is completed. I guess I should take my time and savor them--I have feeling we won't be seeing "A Dance with Dragons" for at least another year or so (call me optimistic too!)

I hope to post my impressions and reviews of the entire Song of Ice and Fire Saga.

First up, will be A Game of Thrones. I highly recommend you check out Jo Walton's impressions of her reread of the series over at tor.com to tide you over until then.

Currently Reading

I am currently reading White Night by Jim Butcher. So far, the thing I like most about The Dresden Files series is the verisimilitude of the world. The magic and supernatural aspects are not made up as the the story unfolds. Butcher seems to have thought out so many aspects of Harry Dresden's reality. I like the idea that magic has rules like physics.
