Beyond the Shadows by Brent Weeks These books get better and better. While I wasn't crazy about the first installment, I've really grown to love this series. The plot is far more interesting now that Kylar's coming of age type story is over with and there's some serious meat and mystery to the plot. I've... Continue Reading →
Shadow's Edge by Brent Weeks I'm still trucking through this series and I have to say that, despite the narrator, I enjoy the story! Kylar and Elene really frustrate me at times because they can't seem to communicate or understand one another. It seems they just look at one another and go "YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL... Continue Reading →
The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks I started the audio version last week and will hopefully finish in the next few days. I like it- assassin books are almost always great- but I don't love it as much as The Black Prism. Maybe my opinion will change as the book/series goes along. It's dark... Continue Reading →

And this week's reads are.... The Road by Cormac McCarthy This book's so bloody depressing! And the dialogue! It's bland and repetitive for sure, but it also manages to punch you right in the feels. I watched part of the movie years ago and it's sad and dark and unfortunately I also remember the ending,... Continue Reading →
A City Dreaming by Daniel Polansky I couldn’t hold out any longer to read this! I’ve never read a Polansky book before, though all of them are on my list of books to acquire, so when I saw this show up on NetGalley I was super excited. I’m just a little way into it but... Continue Reading →
It's a short list this week!! I've still got to finish up The Hypnotic City that I mentioned last week and review that. But I've also started reading this lovely... River of Stars by Guy Gavriel Kay After finishing up Children of Earth and Sky, I was practically dying to start another of Kay's books.... Continue Reading →
Before I get down to the nitty-gritty and tell you all what I’m reading this week, let me just tell you that this week is FULL of scheduled posts. Right now I have one planned out for every single day, which is crazy! I never plan that far ahead for anything but reviews. On to... Continue Reading →
Children of Earth and Sky by Guy Gavriel Kay After hearing so much praise for Kay's books, I FINALLY got one! I'm nearing the end of this one and it's great. The plot is rich, as are the characters and the culture and society was well thought out and has lovely complexities, which mirrors Renaissance... Continue Reading →
Wow, so I'm on vacation this week and I've got so many books to read!! I'm currently reading 3 and plan to start a fourth in a few days, which is ambitious but not impossible for me. I've got days and days to read and relax! Nightshades by Melissa F. Olson I got this one... Continue Reading →
