For me, Brandon Sanderson is one of those authors who gets to jump the line. When a new book comes out I read it, immediately. I’ve been firmly located in the overly-obsessive fangirl camp since 2008, so I’ve been enjoying the works of one of fantasy’s most prolific authors for the better part of a … More Book Review: Shadows of Self
Last year my computer was displaying all the warning signs of giving up the ghost (it was quite old, and had been a constant companion for the better part of a decade, so no complaints here). And somehow in the process of updating my computer I’ve also added a lot of other new technology to … More Book Review: Perfect State
So, it’s been a while since I’ve sewn anything fun for myself. Actually, scratch that, it’s been a while since I’ve sewn anything for myself at all. I’d fallen into a bit of a sewing rut, and after last year’s awful summer, I hadn’t had much energy or desire to sew anything at all. This … More Pattern Review: BS-03-2013-135 – The Bridge Four Biker Jacket
Yes, in internet time Comic-Con is now officially old news, but as this is the first time I’ve ever been able to attend for any significant length of time (and only the second time I’ve been able to go at all) I’m still pretty hyped. Not to mention that this year’s SDCC was proof that … More A Book Nerd’s Paradise: San Diego Comic-Con 2015 Recap
I’ve been trying to get all of my book reviews written for the books I’ve read this year. Then, to take a break, I read another book. Well, novella, technically, I suppose. Anyway, trying to get all the open-ended things closed up on the blog before heading into the new year, so appologies for a … More Book Review: Mitosis
I read Brandon Sanderson’s first Legion novella when it first came out a few years ago, and totally fell in love with Stephen Leeds and his amusing assortment of “aspects.” So to say I was ecstatic when a sequel was announced is a bit of an understatement. I preordered Legion: Skin Deep as soon as I was … More Book Review: Legion: Skin Deep
Brandon Sanderson has become one of my favorite authors over the past few years. Although I enjoy all of his works, I really look forward to his long epic fantasies. He is fantastic at creating fascinating worlds and unique magic systems. So I had very much been looking forward to returning to Roshar in the … More Book Review: The Words of Radiance
I have more than a few holiday posts to get up, but it has become my yearly tradition to spend the last few days of the year doing a review of all of the topics I have been covering on my blog. Reading, skating, Burda, and sewing reviews, as well as plans for the upcoming … More Reading Round Up 2013
I have been reading the works of Brandon Sanderson ever since he was announced as the author who would complete the epic fantasy series The Wheel of Time. At that time he had four adult-length fantasy novels published – Elantris and the Mistborn trilogy. I devoured those within the space of about two months and I have been … More Book Review: Steelheart
Continuing in my attempts to get my blogging up to date, I have another book review, this time from a book I finished back in May. It wasn’t a long read – it is a book written for a younger audience – but at this point I am pretty much willing to try any book … More Book Review: The Rithmatist
