Bookworm's pile of books

This is my current 'to read' pile, it's about the size I like it to be, I like to have a choice. I just realised that at the moment it's mostly female authors, apart from Mark Hodder, usually it's a bit more balanced.

I highly recommend Mark Hodder and his alternative Victorian world and K J Parker for gripping tales from what I can only describe as the most gritty and realistic fantasy world there is (think politics, wars, economical crisis, family troubles etc.)
