Yes, I bought more books!  And I received some for my birthday, which was on Sunday.  So what are some of the new books I have?

• Thirst No.3 by Christopher Pike
• Emperor of Thorns by Mark Lawrence
• Darklight by Lesley Livingston
• Wake by Amanda Hocking
• Othello by William Shakespeare
• Hidden by Sophie Jordan

The book I was most excited about out of all six of these was the one I got for my birthday: Emperor of Thorns.  I actually just finished it today and there’ll be a review up soon.  I don’t want to spoil anything, but Jorg is up to his usual tricks in the last book in the trilogy.  Othello was a book I ordered from Amazon because I won a $20 gift card in one of The Masquerade Crew’s many contests.  I used to hate Shakespeare but I find that when I read it on my own without analyzing every single line I quite enjoy it.  Also: Iago is an awesome villain.

The other books I received were either second or third books in series, but Wake by Amanda Hocking is a completely new book to me.  I’d seen it on bookstore shelves previously but was waiting to find a paperback version to give it a try.  I’ve read it already and let’s just say I have mixed feelings about it.

Well, that’s what I’ve been reading lately.  So what have you been reading?  Do you see anything you like here?
