It would have been CRAZY. It is made for fanfic and fan art and OTPing. I am a little in love with this book that I was so fortunate to receive in the book exchange from JS. The War for the Oaks is one of the first urban fantasies published in 1987; it is set in Minneapolis in the 80s, centring on a musician named Eddi who finds herself getting out of both a bad relationship and a bad band, and falling into the middle […]
Who let me start on another fantasy series?
I really liked the first in Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series, The Way of Kings, so of course I went all in and requested the second from the library before I was even finished the first. I almost had regrets – I have a pile of Christmas book exchange books waiting for me, each of them so tempting. But, the book came quickly, I already owe $25 in library fines, and so I got started. At the end of the first book, the stage was […]
Trying for more yes
I don’t watch a lot of television on the whole, and hour long dramas are not really my cup of tea, so I have missed most of Shonda Rimes’ work. Despite this, I do of course know who she is and admire her enormous success, talent and determination. This is absolutely not the kind of book I would normally read; self-help, memoirs, etc are not my cup of tea, but someone left it in a pile of free books at work and I thought I […]
It sounded scary at first
I had only heard of Brandon Sanderson a few times prior to fall 2017, mostly in relation to his having finished the Wheel of Time series. I never paid very much attention to him, because I haven’t read that series and I kind of felt like I have had enough of white Mormon men and their novels for one lifetime (O.S.C. – I’m looking at you, FOREVER). However, when friends whose taste in books I trust started to get excited about the third in Sanderson’s […]
New obsession, from a different angle
This summer I finally gave in and read the first two books of Patrick Rothfuss’ Kingkiller Chronicles. I pretty much instantly fell in love, but I understand that there has been a significant period of time since the 2nd book was released and there is some concern about when the conclusion might be published. I try not to get too invested in stuff like that – like with Martin’s series, I really want to know how the story ends, but I can’t let myself get […]
The feels, I have them
This is a lovely little book written by Jomny Sun, an alien with a Twitter account and a charming take on life on Earth. In real life, Jomny is Jonathan Sun, one of those geniuses who is a writer, illustrator, architect, engineer etc. In addition to his sweet Twitter account, he helps create an online newsletter called Bouncy Castle that brings sunshine directly to your inbox, along with Twitter magician Darth. I might be a fan. The book itself is a longer version of Jomny’s […]
