Goal was 12, current count is 24. My favorite book so far was Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb. First time I read the Farseer trilogy, it was very good the overall ending felt weird but I enjoyed it well.

My least favorite book was Edge of Shadows by Brent Weeks. I just couldn't get myself to care about it for some reason. The coolest part from book 2 was solved shorty after the start (Kylar's hand restoration) and afterwards I was very meh on it. Got to chapter 30 and set the book down it's dnf and I don't see myself going back.

I am currently reading Robots and Empire by Issac Asimov. This is the conclusion to the Robots series, it's very weird in that there is a large time jump between book 3 and 4. So transition of the main character is hampering my enjoyment a little bit. But it is still Asimov and it is fun.
