Whatcha reading at the moment? Would you recommend it to others?

After taking a break to read 42 volumes of Dragon Ball I've gone back to The Coyote Road: Trickster Tales, an anthology edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling. I've read less than half of its contents, but so far I've been more disappointed than pleased. Hopefully the quality will pick up...

Yesterday I started reading Terrier by Tamora Pierce. I'm very interested to see where the story goes because the plot revolves around the investigation of the murder of a three year old boy. I've never read a YA book with a murder plot so I'm impressed. The only thing that irks me is how long the narrator's journal entries are. I don't mind reading stories told through a journal, but when one entry is 50 pages I cannot suspend my disbelief.

I haven't read Terrier . . . I've just about finished the Keladry series (Defender of the Small, I think is the official title?). I'm enjoying it, but not nearly as much as I enjoyed the Alanna books in the far-gone time when I read them as a preteen. Is Terrier in the same universe?

Yep, Terrier happens a couple hundred years before Song of the Lioness. The main character is related to someone from the Lioness series, which makes in more interesting to me because I feel like I'm actually reading the history of another world.
