    All of these are on my to-read list as well! I've been hearing a lot about John Scalzi lately, I think if I read one of his books I'll start with either Lick In or The Old Man's War. I hadn't actually heard of Neuromancer or Fortune's Pawn before, I'll definitely look those up.


    Great list!

    Strong list. Fortune's Pawn is so much fun, but I am a huge fan of the strangely weird Perdido Street Station.

    If you ever decide to start the Wheel of Time series, well, I'm interested to see what you'll think! The only other one on this list that I've read is Elantris, so I guess I have a lot of catching up to do, too....

    We share a lot of book that we 'can't believe we haven't read yet' You're not alone! LOL! I still need to read Elantris, The Eye of the World, The Emperor's Blades, The Mirror Empire AND Old Man's War. I'm hoping to read Elantris and The Eye of the World this year though...hopefully soon. We'll have to compare notes when you get to these too :)

    I've actually only read one of these (Elantris) but a couple are on my to read list and as for the rest....Well, I'm curious about them so I now have to go read about them. Hope you enjoy them once you get around to reading them.

    The only China Mieville I've read is Railsea, and I really liked it. I know he's more known for Perdido Street Station, so I'm excited for that one! Who am I kidding, I'm excited for all of these :)

    It's such a huge series that I'm intimidated to start. I think I'll start reading book 1 this summer, when I have more time to read. I'll let you know!

    I've heard lots of great things about Lock In, so that's on my list too. I'm glad we have a lot of books in common - that makes me feel better about not having read these haha

    I've read Elantris (such a great read) Eye of the World (three or four books away from finishing this series) and Fortune's Pawn (I freaking love this trilogy!)

    Of the others I definitely plan to get around to Old Man's Eat and Perdido Street Station someday...And possibly The Emperor's Blades. Good luck reading these!

    I've only read 3 of these (Old Man's War, Mirror Empire and Emperor's Blade), but recommend all of them. I did read part of Prince of Fool's and just wasn't feeling the humor in it, and set it aside to read later. One of these days I'll get back to it.

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

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 captured t
