Location: Las Vegas, NV		i've really jumped headfirst into this with the looming deadline fast approaching so here's a recap of the books i've read recently for this challenge:

i read A Wizard of Earthsea last year and decided to at least finish the classic Earthsea trilogy with this challenge & read The Tombs of Atuan & The Farthest Shore. Tombs turned out to be my favorite in the series and a new favorite fantasy novel in general.

Next, i devoured the first two novels in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice & Fire series, A Game of Thrones & A Clash of Kings. My plan is to plow through the entire series before the end of May. Having watched only the first season of the HBO series once years ago, most of the events were unfamiliar to me and really drew me in. I'm eager to work my way through the whole series & the Dunk & Egg novellas. The next book that i will read for this challenge is book three of this series, A Storm of Swords.

Then i trudged my way through Little, Big by John Crowley begrudgingly. It's not that it's a bad book, it's just not my style. i had a hard time getting through to the end.

Sabriel by Garth Nix is the first book in his Old Kingdom series and i quite enjoyed it. i listened to the audiobook, read by Tim Curry, and i can't wait to visit this world again.
