mine was Soul Savers it was free on my nook. I can't remember who the author is but I enjoyed it so much that I bought the box set :)

I recently finished reading The Witch's House, a book based on the popular rpgmaker game. It's a really fascinating read!

Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson. Working on The Hobbit now.

I recently finished reading Skip Beat and Anne Of Green Gables. I am Currently working on reading Skip vol 18 and I am going to start Reading Alanna The First Adventure. By Tamora Pierce.

Making Money by Terry Pratchett. Diving in to the beginning with The Color of Magic now.

The most recent book I finished reading was Ender's Game in preparation for watching the film that was made from it. The movie was somewhat disappointing, particularly some of the major changes that were made -- not to specific events, really, but to the overall tone and, ultimately, point of the book. They made the most readily obvious points present in the film, but did nothing to actually explore any of them, which the book actually does amazingly well.

To be honest, though, that book is insanely hard to put into a medium such as film without taking some rather amazing departures from what the typical movie-going audience expects. On the plus side, they managed to tell the story somewhat well with what the filmmakers were given -- but I'm unlikely to ever watch it again, as I feel there's not really any subtext that I didn't already perceive on the first viewing.

The book is truly an amazing work of science fiction, though -- it does what any good novel does and explores questions that are not readily available without the constructs of fiction, and does so in such a way that reading the book more than once is actually beneficial to understanding what's been presented.

The last book I read...hmm I believe it was The Vampire Armand from the Anne Rice Interview with a Vampire series. That or I finished re-reading Beowulf for a presentation I had for a class. Both were quite good as I remembered the first time I had read them. ^w^

Van Gogh: The Life by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith

All I can say is holy crap. 880+ pages of unimaginable hell and beauty.

Castle in the Sky by Dianna Wynne Jones

I just finished (again) the Obsidian and Blood series by Aliette de Bodard - I read it almost yearly now because I find that it is just that good.

I recently finished The Masque of Vyle by Andy Chambers.
For only having 9 chapters it really does drag you in and doesn't want to let go. I don't want to leak anything at all so I will say that the saying quality over quantity is definitely in effect here.

Within the book you get a glimpse into the mystery, wrapped in an enigma that is the harlequins. I enjoyed how the harlequin's interact with each other, they each had their own role within the troupe, which they never brake wither they where in their own company or doing the 'Masque' itself. I found out that 'Death Jester's' have a morbid sense of humour, especially when it comes to being kept in suspense about something.

The solitude 'Motley' is beyond bizarre, sometimes he tries to be serious but it never works, and as soon as you think you know what's going on with him, there's a twist that makes you question what you thought you knew about him or what he had planed.

Some of the words and wording are hard to follow especially if you don't know the army or lore that well. I know the lore and the army quite well but even I had problems with it from time to time on pronunciation of cities, names and the likes. This being said the book does drag you in wanting to know what happens next, at times you can get drawn into the story you can easily envision how the characters feel, their hopes, even feeling sorry for them when things happen and what scenes/backgrounds depict and the emotions they are trying to draw out.

I'll stop there saying that it is well worth the money and leave you all with one of my favourite passages of the book. When I first read it, it made me giggle and it's from the solitude himself:-

That sounds interesting Kaguya, I'll have to see if it is on Kindle. I really thought that little passage is great! It is almost Art-Language if you have ever heard of that genre of ...well I can't call it literature, I'll just call it...imaginative writing.

It is definitely worth a read.
My hobby also has it's own book line, you can find it in the website Black Library, you may find it there as an E-book.

Ok I'll check that out, thanks!
