This week's question: Book Vacay: Where is the best destination reading spot for you? (Where do you like to go to read other then your home)

I almost always read curled up on my bed or on the sofa, so this question is kind of hard!

This is kind of weird but I kind of like reading in the receptions of doctor's/dentist's offices - it's always quiet and they usually have comfy chairs :) I've had a couple of interesting conversations with people who asked what I was reading while we were all waiting for our appointments, so it's kind of fun.

I know my "destination" reading spot isn't much of a destination...what about yours?

    Weird, that's usually one place I can't quite read because I get too nervous or anxious about my appointment! Even with regular checkups and what not. I don't like going to the doctors...stems from my childhood! Plus every time I'm reading in the actual exam room, waiting on the doctor, he/she comes in in the middle of a chapter or really great scene!

    So yeah...I don't usually read too much there!

    Here's my Follow Friday

    Have a GREAT weekend!

    Curling up on the sofa to read is the best!

    I read in waiting rooms too, but I can't say I enjoy it because I'm not happy to be there in the first place.

    That is a weird place. I'm usually too nervous to focus on reading, although the wait is long enough for half a book sometimes!

    Yes! I once finished a whole novel while I was waiting (it was short - a bit over 200 pages).

    Ha, that is one reading spot I've not heard of. :D I have this thing about hospitals and clinics, so I wouldn't be able to concentrate even if I tried to. :D Thanks for visiting!

    I usually read on my bed too, but reading in a waiting room passes the time at least!

Way of Kings Readalong: Wrap-up

So it's finally over. That was an amazing book! Thank you everyone for joining in and making my first readalong so much fun :) I have said over and over again that Brandon Sanderson is a storytelling god. This book makes me believe it even more fiercely - it takes a mastermind to create such intricate worlds and piece together so many character and plot threads. He does such a great job of feeding you just enough answers/revelations to keep you happy, but keeps you hanging by dangling all sorts of questions for you to answer. Not to mention the bombshells he throws in at the end... Having read Mistborn, I really should have been more prepared for disaster and mindblowing moments towards the end of the book. The end was just bombshell after bombshell - some were interesting revelations, and others were shattering. The bombshells of this week: 1) Navani proves that Dalinar's visions are real , and says his unconscious decoding of an ancient language will help pave the

Top Ten Tuesday 54 - Book to Movie/TV adaptations

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by  The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: Top Ten Movie/TV show adaptations of books I've read Sometimes movies and TV shows do a great job of portraying the spirit of the books they're based on, and sometimes they really don't. Here are a few adaptations I loved and some that I felt were lacking. Great Adaptations 1. The Hunger Games/Catching Fire/Mockingjay       Stunning visuals, pitch-perfect portrayal of the characters, and just enough new changes to keep the movies fresh. 2. Harry Potter The movies captured the spirit of the books so well, and again, all the actors did an amazing job of portraying the beloved book characters. Some movies did better than others, but I'm generally really happy with these! 3. The Book Thief     I was really nervous about watching this because The Book Thief is one of my favorites. I shouldn't have been worried, because this movie captured t

Way of Kings Readalong: Gender roles on Roshar

We've seen a little bit about the differences in what members of different genders are allowed and encouraged to do. I thought it was interesting how things like reading were entrusted only to women, since reading is how you gain knowledge (and power!), and it seems like the men were the ones who wanted all the power in this world. So here's a discussion post about the different gender roles and what some possible implications are. But first, a few words from Brandon Sanderson: I found this video on YouTube where Sanderson talks a bit about gender roles in history and in The Way of Kings. It's only a minute or two in the middle of the video (4:30-6:58), but I thought it was interesting. YouTube is being annoying and I cannot embed the video so here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqeKPBHquOg Gender differences on Roshar A table of some basic differences in genders: Men Women Can read glyphs Can read an
