The Eye of the World (Book One of The Wheel of Time) by Robert Jordan As it says, this is the first book in the fourteen-book-long series, The Wheel of Time. I had somehow heard a lot about the series without really hearing anything of substance. People seem to like it, and it supposedly has … Continue reading »

There’s this… thing… that keeps making its way around the Harry Potter fandom, and it’s driving me completely crazy. Warning, I’m about to go on a rant, because I feel very strongly that this is ridiculous.   Due to the particular Tumblr account from which I found this exact image, I know that in this … Continue reading »

  The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff The biggest impression from this book is that it reminds me of an episode of Supernatural, which I recently started watching. The idea that this small town makes horrific sacrifices to… well, not exactly “supernatural” beings, but like, undead?, in the name of keeping their town from worse harm. … Continue reading »

Sadly, March was a terrible reading month. I was just very distracted by life in general, and chose books that were a bit more challenging to get through.

Page by Tamora Pierce (Book 2 of the Protector of the Small quartet) This was much faster-paced than its prequel. Where First Test takes place over the course of one year, Page goes through Kel’s remaining three years as a page. While many aspects of Kel’s life are still challenging, many are routine, and it’s … Continue reading »

A Dance with Dragons by George R. R. Martin (Book 5 of A Song of Ice and Fire) YES. I finally finished it. I know you’re all super proud. As I may have mentioned before, I do believe part of the reason it was such slow-going with this one is because I was dreading the … Continue reading »

Given my goal to read 75 books this year, and that I have already finished 3 books since the start of the year, I plan to post more than once a month to cover my reviews, so that these posts don’t get too long. Hopefully I keep up with these goals and plans of mine! … Continue reading »
