Reply #11: GODS' CONCUBINE, Book Two of THE TROY GAME [View All]

by Sara Douglass

I happend on to Sara Douglass while browsing the shelves at Barnes and Noble about two years ago. She is an Australian author whose trilogy THE WAYFARAER REDEMPTION had just been published in this country. She has a really original touch.

Just Finished Book one of THE OUTREACHED SHADOW by Mercedes Lackey and someone else whose name escapes me and just before that read the sequel to Mercedes Lackey's (and another someone else whose name escapes me at the moment) THE LION OF ST. MARK. When I finish with GODS' CONCUBINE, I'll read EXILE'S VALOR (also by Mercedes Lackey, but alone this time) the latest of twenty-six books so far about her world of Valdemar.

In between these, I am reading INKHEART by Conrelia Funke... a children's book and just finished ERAGON by Christopher Paolini. The amazing thing about this book is that the author is now only nineteen years old and started writing it when he was fifteen. http://www.randomhouse.com/teens/eragon/ His parents had the book privately published and later it was picked up by Random House. It is the first of three.

For non-escapism, I am, when the mood takes me, reading GALILEO'S DAUGHTER, and THE PRICE OF LOYALTY by Ron Suskind...

Sigh, books are my opiate. I gave away about 600 books in the last two years and still have about 1000 in the house...
