What I'm Going to Read: Round 1

The random number generator has spoken and the winner this month is The Poison Throne by Celine Kiernan as suggested by Missy.

Missy had this to say in praise of it:

I'm currently reading this book and it rivals the Attolia books in court/political intrigue, not to mention the fact that there's a possible thief in it that reminds me of Eugenides.
