5 Books On My Desk

[keiramarcos]

The fact is that I mostly buy ebooks these days but our house is loaded down with print books that we bought before we had devices for ebook reading because both my husband and I are both avid readers. He also has a serious hard-on for audio books. Nine times out of ten, he's listening to audio book on his mp3 player instead of actual music.

1. The 15th Edition of the Chicago Style Manual (because I'm currently editing an article for a magazine that is due next week)

2. Master/slave Relations: Handbook of Theory and Practice by Dr. Robert J. Rubel (because I'm considering scenarios for the next TTB story)

3. Killers: The Most Barbaric Murderers of Our Times by Nigel Cawthorne (professional project research)

4. He Shall Thunder in the Sky by Elizabeth Peters (because it's my favorite book in that series)

5. The Shelter of Stone by Jean Auel (because a new book in this series is coming out soon and I was brushing up on it so I could be prepared for the hardcore reading session I'll have on my Kindle when it comes out)

It's just such a compelling story. I started reading and before I knew i, I was half way through the first book. The world is so well thought out, especially the fact that one season can last for GENERATIONS is so amazing. And all the politics, intrigue, secrets, and just plain drama all mixed together with a side of fear of what's beyond the wall and across the sea and a sprinkle of fear for the coming winter is just such a heady mixture, and I just love it. And with that added supernatural element...just GOD, it's amazing. My favorite characters are Jon Snow, Dany and her dragons and her advisor Ser Jorah Mormont, the Starks and the dire wolves, Tyrion, and Khal Drogo; I just love all them, but I think Jon and Dany may be my favorite favorite characters.
