I'm a voracious reader. My current favorite books are by Edna Buchanan, The Cold Case Squad and Shadows. They are both murder mysteries of old cases and are set in Miami. If you're in to mood for something amusing, try Douglas Adams' The Ultimate Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy as it has the whole series of books in one. Adams is an amusing writer. Laurel Hamilton mixes sexy romance with vampires and lycanthropes and action in her Anita Blake books.

Hi everyone! I got wind of your board-moms heading on vacation again, so I'll be board-sitting soon. Just wanted to pop over and say Hi! And I love books. so this is a great question for me!


I just read (well, actually listened to) Trudi Canavan's magician's Guild.


Summary :
Each year, the magicians of Imardin gather together to purge the city streets of vagrants and miscreants. Masters of the disciplines of magic, they know that no ordinary lowlife can oppose them. But their protective shield is not as imprenetrable as they think. Sonea, angry, frustrated and outraged by the treatment of her family and friends, throws a stone at the shield, putting all her rage behind it. She is amazed when it sails unrestricted through the barrier and knocks a magician unconscious.


The Guild's worst fear has been realised ... there is an untrained magician loose in Imardin who must be found before her uncontrolled powers can destroy herself and the city ...


The book was fun and I love magic, so it was a great read for me. I now just have to find the 2nd and 3rd book in the series, which I think will take some time because the libraries don't have it and I don't want to pay big bucks to get it shipped to me.
