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
So I’ve been reading a lot of science fiction and fantasy lately. And I continued that trend when I picked up Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. However, it was going a bit slow (I don’t think it is possible to read that book fast), and the heat has been putting me in a lazy yet antsy mood. … More Book Review: Julie and Julia
Although I started this book close to the beginning of the year, I only recently finished reading Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. Mostly because I got really really distracted by lots of other things. I love reading Jane Austen, and though I didn’t enjoy this story quite as much as Pride and Prejudice, I did … More Book Review: Sense and Sensibility
It is a well known fact that Robert Jordan is one of my favorite fantasy authors of all time. So, when he listed some of his favorite authors I sat up and took notice. At books signings he often credited John M. Ford as being his favorite contemporary author, and I have been on the search … More Book Review: The Last Hot Time
I am finally getting around to posting reviews I read in more recent months! I actually read this book while I was at the Roller Skating National Championships, so I finished it at the beginning of August. It was a book my sister had been bugging me to read for months, so I decided it … More Book Review: Neuromancer
Yet another back-logged book review post, this time for a book I finished in early June – Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded by John Scalzi. This book is a collection of posts from his blog (called “Whatever”) from 1998-2008. It covers an interesting assortment of topics, from personal relationships and nerdy interests, to politics and … More Book Review: Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded
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
Ok, I feel a bit bad about taking so long to post this review – I finished this book back in the beginning of March. And I loved it so much that I read the thousand page sequel in just under a week! I have just been so danged busy that I have been rather … More Book Reviews: The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear
I am so behind in my blogging. Life seems even more fast-paced and crazy busy since I graduated, and I just haven’t had the time to document a lot of the exciting goings-on. As I may have mentioned, I have been doing a lot of sewing of skating costumes, which means I have been getting … More Book Review: The History of Love
Since my reading plans have been delayed by the paperback release of the fifth volume of a Song of Ice and Fire series, I am taking a bit of a detour. Not that I don’t already have books stacked to the sky that I want to read, but when a friend offered to lend me … More Book Review: The Gunslinger
