Leslie gave up listening to The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, and is currently alternating between Siege & Storm by Leigh Bardugo and Old Man’s War by John Scalzi (if you want to try John Scalzi I recommend Fuzzy Nation or The Android’s Dream or Agent to the Stars – really you can’t go wrong with John Scalzi). She finished reading Roar/The Stormheart series and pre-ordered the second book.  She also read The Last Namsari (cool dragon culture, otherwise meh) and is currently reading Carter & Lovecraft.
