Just picked up "Alloy of Law". It sounds kind of familiar? Hope it's not a duplicate.
We'll see when I get further into it.
Although no more tonight; time for bed.

I just finished Glass Sword, and now I'm going onto The Pledge. I'm kinda in the mood for distopia themed books. c:

The Alloy of Law is definitely something I have read before. But I don't see it anywhere in my house, must have gotten from the library the first time.

I finally went back to, and finished "The Sparrow".
Seriously mean to the characters, which I can obviously see serves the plot and is almost exactly the point, but still.
Then I needed something light so I reread the Dragonbones/Dragonblood duo by Patricia Briggs.
And then Jasper Fforde's "The Eyre Affair" for balance.

Just picked up an old classic...
"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
I'm always surprised, EVERY TIME I grab this book, that it's not by Heinlein or Clark or Aasimov, the ones I tend to think of as the 'classic' writers of that-era sci-fi. It's by Philip K Dick. And EVERY TIME I grab the book, I think, "I should look that author up".... and every time, every time, I forget.
But, yeah. It's been long enough, I don't remember much more than the vague outline. Which means, time for a re-read!

currently reading "Orconomics: A Satire" by J. Zachary Pike, and it's an amazing read! especially if you're a gamer. but you don't have to be one to enjoy it. my favorite thing, apart from it being witty, is how there's quite a number of characters in the center of the story (8 to pay attention to simultaneously, to be exact), and they are perfectly distinguishable. you don't even really need dialogue tags to know who's talking, and they have very different perspectives. I also enjoy the dynamics among them. some things are predictable but were carried out nicely nevertheless. I was biased and wanted to enjoy the book, but I hadn't thought it would be so fun before I started. and from 1/3 it started getting cooler and cooler. definitely one of those books I don't want to be over, though I've only read slightly past half of it.
