    I really need to try and get to Rose Under Fire as well. It looks so good and I've heard brilliant things. I hope you enjoy these books when you get to them!

    Oh man I'm fifty pages away from finishing UnDivided. This series blows all the other dystopia novels off the planet.

    Oh if you liked The Blade Itself then keep moving on the series, it is so much set up that doesn't get it's payoff until the next two.

    I want the Lynch book pretty bad but I would be shocked if we see it next year.

    I recently read The Lies of Locke Lamora and loved it! But I still have to read the following two books though. And I agree with the next book in The Raven Cycle; that series is so magical and mystical. The Young Elites, Sabriel and the first book in the Stormlight Archive are all on my to-read list.

    You have some amazing fantasy books listed!

    YES ^^ I NEED Skybreaker like the air I breathe :D And even though I still need to read Blue Lily, Lily Blue, I ALSO NEED the 4th book in the Raven Cycle haha! As for the rest of your picks here, well I still have to get into The Lies of Locke Lamora (I do own a copy though - so hoping soon!), the Abhorsen series AND The Young Elites, but seeing them here is pretty wicked motivation ;) Fantastic picks!! ♥

    I've had it on my TBR pile for ages but I haven't actually gotten a copy yet. I'm excited!

    I'm so jealous! I actually still haven't read UnSouled but I really loved the first two books!

    Excellent! I did get the feeling that there was zero plot in Blade Itself but the characters were enough to make me keep reading. I'm so excited!
    Isn't it slated for winter/spring next year? I haven't heard anything about it so I think you might be right :(

    I wish I could say Gentleman Bastards gets better with every book but Lies is still my favorite haha (The other two are still fantastic though :D)
    I'm reading Blue Lily, Lily Blue right now and it's the most magical/mystical/surreal of the lot. I don't want this book to end...
    Thanks! Can you believe I swore off fantasy a couple of years ago? Thankfully I had some persistent friends that forced me to borrow and read their books and I'm once again in love with my childhood favorite genre.

    Yes, that sounds about right :)
    READ LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA. I promise you're going to have major crushes on Jean and Locke. If that isn't a good enough motivation... ;)

    I' loved fantasy since I was little too! There are some books that you just want to read forever, like they shouldn't end at all. For me, those are The Raven Cycle and The Others series by Anne Bishop!



    I still look forward to all the other Gentleman Bastard books :D

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...

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 captu...

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...
