Finished Dark Tower III.

Next up, Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson.

Is this related to his Mistborn series?

[MikeHz]

Currently, "Moonwalking With Einstein." Next up, "A Storm of Swords."

Listening to a silly little Superhero/villain story:  Confessions of a D-List Supervillain by Jim Bernheimer, I downloaded it almost at Random.  It's quite entertaining.  Also listening to Packing for Mars.

Finished Dark Tower III.

Next up, Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson.

Is this related to his Mistborn series?

Yeah.  He's trying something new (at least as far as I have ever seen), and fast-forwarding his "medieval fantasy" setting to a "western/steam-era" setting.  I've seen interviews where he talks about a pending fast-forward to space opera for the same setting.

I'm about 60% through, and I'm enjoying it (but I'm biased because I like Brandon's style in general, and the narrator is one of my favourites whom I'd listen to reading the back of ceral boxes).

Excellent. I have at least one credit that I haven't used. I, too, love Sanderson almost unconditionally. I've been pimping his works for years - I bought the first Mistborn based on the awesome cover art and also enjoyed the story inside. Yes. I judged a book by it's cover. It works sometimes.

He wrote in a character who does accents, and I'm reasonably sure he was thinking the whole time "Lets see how Michael Kramer deals with this, muhuhahahahaha!"

Oh, sweet, Michael Kramer. He's good people. Also, lol.

Finished Alloy of Law, and also Howl's Moving Castle (review in the other thread).

Now queued up, Wizard and Glass, the 4th Dark Tower book (about 8 hours in right now).  This one is twice as long as the previous one.  I'm well into the tale of Roland's youth, and it turns out that the one Dark Tower graphic novel that I read (before realizing that I'd rather wait until after I finish the actual books) covered this part.

Best book in the whole series.

Listening to a very good Dramatization of Bram Stokers' Dracula. 

[pandamonium]

I'm listening to The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi. It's a little slow, but interesting. I'm trying to get into it, but, like I said, the pacing is kind of slow.

[amysrevenge]

Yesterday I finished Wizard and Glass.  Sooooooooo good.  Apparently there is a narrator change for the rest of the series, and reviews are poor.  I'm sure I'll still like them though.

Up now, Harry Dresden book 11, Turn Coat.  I've heard some spoilers of what comes next in the series so I've been delaying listening (also, I don't want to run out).

[David E.]

Both Narrators for the DT series are excellent. 

[amysrevenge]

The narrator for Wolves of the Calla (which I finished) was not as good as the previous one, but it was still good.

Finished Harry Dresden 11 and 12, working on Dark Tower 6, Song of Susannah now.  Just started it last night.
