I just checked this out from the library and I've been meaning to read it for years, so this will be the first book on my fall TBR!

I read and liked the first book in the series, and I think it's about time I read the second one before I completely forget the first book.

I finally listened to the whole Hamilton soundtrack this summer, and now I'm really excited to learn more about the story behind the musical.

Another book I've been looking forward to for a long time! I hope I can get a copy and read it this fall.

Obviously I will read this at some point in the next few months, but I think I'm going to wait until everyone else has read it and the hype has dissipated a little.

This is going to be my creepy book to read before Halloween! I usually don't handle horror well but this one seems more psychological, so I'm intrigued.

I have an ARC of this to read, and I think a Russian-folktale inspired story would be lovely in the fall.

I'm BEYOND excited for this book, I just read Six of Crows this summer and I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. I cannot wait to read the sequel!

Illuminae was one of my favorite books of last year, so I'm really excited for Gemina!
 26409580
Yet another Fall 2016 sequel that I'm really excited for! I loved how intense and intelligent and unexpected the first book was, and after that ending I'm very curious to see where this story goes.

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: 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
