I’m having a hard time deciding my perspective on Brandon Sanderson’s “Alloy of Law.” I don’t have any strong feelings about it, other than: it wasn’t what I expected (pace-wise). At this point, I’ve read a lot of Brandon Sanderson books, and overall, I’m a fan. This book follows a different plot structure though, which
BONUS BOOK REVIEW! I don’t know why I don’t include my daily scripture reading in my book count. Anyway, I didn’t warn you about this, but here’s a book review on “The Book of Mormon,” because I finished it last week. In my personal studies, I’m now beginning “The Bible’s” “The Old Testament” and am in
Sorry I didn’t post any book reviews this week. The funny thing is, I actually read a LOT the past couple days. I’m currently reading “Alloy of Law,” by Brandon Sanderson with my husband, “War of the Worlds,” by HG Wells on my Kindle, “A Dirty Job,” by Christopher Moore on my Audible, and “The
So, I just did the math, and it looks like I read an average of 1,000 pages a month. Granted, if all I did was read, I could probably do that in half a week, but since it’s not all I’m doing, I’d say 1,000’s not bad. 🙂 Also, that’s not including the pages I edit,
To start off, I really enjoyed Douglas E. Richards’ “Wired.” He presents intriguing ideas through science and technology, and explores every possible scenario of where new discoveries could take us (how they could be used, misused, and abused). I like his writing because he obviously does his research and presents it in a fashion that’s
In a reading purge I can’t really explain, I just finished “The Help,” by Kathryn Stockett. Yes, I know, it came out a while ago and I haven’t even seen the film (yet), but I’d always been intending to read this book. It started a couple months ago, when my sister came to visit, and
Part two of a wonderful weekend that nobody around me understood: Okay, I read “Steelheart” and “Firefight” in hardback, but the concept is still there! To be honest- hold on- I’m always brutally honest in book reviews, so let’s scratch that. To be honest, “Steelheart” didn’t grab and hold me as Sanderson’s other books. It felt
Wow, it’s been a busy week! I finished “Discern,” by Andrea Pearson (my digital book), “The Princess Bride,” by William Goldman (my read-aloud book), and “Steelheart,” by Brandon Sanderson (my hardcover book) within this last week! I’ll give you a review on the first two today, and since I’m mostly already through “Steelheart”‘s sequel, “Firefight,”
Oh, Jules Verne. You would never be published by today’s standards. For your time period, yes, you were brilliant, and ahead of your era, and I’m pretty sure any of your characters alone would dominate Survivor. “The Mysterious Island,” seemed like Mr. Verne’s thoughts of how modern people would colonize if they had every resource
I know it’s been a while since I’ve written here, and I’m sorry. I’m hoping to get back into the swing shortly, though, as I finally finished reading “The Count of Monte Cristo,” and will soon finish “The Mysterious Island!” I bought my unabridged copy of the first classic in a little bookstore across the street of
