The world-building and detail is amazing! Here's my review:/review/show...
I plan on reading the full book in paperback soon.

I tore through Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and I liked it, even though it turned out to be a much different type of story from I was expecting.
Read Throne of Glass today, a bit silly and romancey, fun fluff.
Nexus Started this on audio this morning, liking it so far.

I've just polished off the AMAZING 'In the company of shadows'Series By Santino Hassell and AIS, and I'm starting the year off with "The Steel Remains" by Richard K Morgan, been wanting to get to this book for a while now.
Happy reading all!



I started reading Beholder's Eye book 1 of the Web Shifters trilogy by Julie E. Czerneda a favorite author.
Bev wrote: "Helen wrote: "I've started The Woodcutter."
I quite enjoyed that Helen."
Finished it earlier, quite enjoyed it. Not sure what's next. Planning to dip into unfettered through the month.

Steel remains is fab. Enjoy!

Agree Paul.

Enough said.

Why?"
Personally for me I love his writing style. The story is never predictable and is still growing. Great world buildings but mainly I love ghe characters.

(Thank you, Ms. Bev.)
I've read the 1st book but since I've seen the series before reading, I couldn't find anything special about the book (sure, writing is superb but I wouldn't agree with predictability), so I stopped reading. I'm a fan of series but have no will to continue with 2nd + books.
Although, I'm always interested in what other people find interesting in mentioned series.
I've, also, read Mr. Martin's The Armageddon Rag and it's one of my favourites (so I do know how skillful the writer is), but even with this one I can't tell he has a great imagination (he likes to mention sex a lot, that's for sure).


Mine is awful due to a touch screen keypad.

I know how it is. My tablet is awful too.



I'm on Dust of Dreams at the moment (9th volume in the series), hope you get hooked like I did. I still remember the point of no return for me, which you won't have reached yet. I call it the "Rooftop scene", could not put it down.


The blade itself is a very good book, the main characters won't fail to leave an impression, good choice if you like corrupt natures in your books!!

So far, three chapters read and I feel I just dived back in the great univers Hobb had created.

I'm really loving it, Erikson writes characters so well!



ħ½çÍõ×Ó devils and realist 3ކ, Madoka Takadono
A Man Against Insanity, Paul de Kruif
Rogues, George R.R. Martin (ed), Gardner R. Dozois (ed)
Enjoying all of them very much.

I finished Throne of Glass this week and started the next book, Crown of Midnight. Solid YA fantasy/assassin series.


Hopefully no one has spoiled the ending of the series for you!

That's such a great series. I'd love to read it again sometime!
I'm working my way A-Z through stuff that's been sitting on my Kindle for a while. Finished "F" yesterday,



I'm undecided what my next book will be, I'm torn between the new Pat Rothfuss and Tolkien 's translation of Beowulf. Or I may pick something completely different.
