The Leaning Pile of Books

I hope everyone is having a happy 2010 so far! Now that the holidays are over, I'm starting to get back into writing reviews (four left at the moment). Of course, as of tomorrow, my vacation is also over, but I suppose that means I'll be going through fewer books than I have been over the last week.

This week I'll be going back to the old format since I have a much more manageable number of books for the week - one.

Of Darkness, Light, and Fire by Tanya Huff

This is an omnibus containing two unrelated books, Gate of Darkness, Circle of Light and The Fire's Stone. The first one is urban fantasy and the second is traditional fantasy. I received this as a gift from a friend. We made a deal this year in which we each picked three of our favorite books from 2009 and the other person has to read those three books in 2010 (the first favorite one has to be read by the end of February). One of her three picks for me was The Fire's Stone so I'll be reading that one sometime in 2010 (along with Duma Key, which will be my first Stephen King book, and one other book that I'll talk about when I get it - that's the one I need to read by the end of next month). I'm looking forward to reading both of these books since I've been wanting to read something by Tanya Huff (shame on me, I have another omnibus containing two science fiction books by her I haven't read yet).
