THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
Just started The Reformation (1957), the sixth book in The Story of Civilization series by Will and Ariel Durant. *
* I had posted this a few weeks back, but replaced it with another book instead - while I'm loving the series so far, I needed a momentary break for something lighter.

I finished reading the rest of The Raven Cycle series (The Dream Thieves, Blue Lily, Lily Blue, and The Raven King) by Maggie Stiefvater. A great contemporary magic series with very strong character work. I really enjoyed the series, my only minor nitpick is that I wish some elements and characters introduced in the final book had shown up a little earlier in the series.
Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army. by Jeremy Scahill.
