I said before starting Kushiel’s Dart that I would give it a chance. I think that 178 pages is enough of a chance.
Now, I like Fantasy novels, but they’re not supposed to be that sort of … ahem… fantasy.
This series is based on a woman who becomes a spy based on her enjoyment [...]
Lost in the haze of goals, work, babies and Beavers, the third anniversary of my meeting Kim came and went with a small celebration.
For the first couple of months that Kim and I went out, we were continually saying, “I can’t believe it’s only been [insert time-period here]!” Honestly, it felt, all the way [...]
Well, it’s five days past my original minigoal but one day ahead of the revised one. Without staying up way too late on any given day, I’ve finished Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson.
When people ask me to describe this series, my brain freezes up and I just say “It’s cool. Read it.” It’s hard [...]
Given my ability to find such books, I have decided to incorporate Eragon by Christopher Paolini and Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman into the January-April portion of my Annual Goal.
I’ve started Eragon and, while I’ll definitely finish it, there are some things that I’m not enjoying. More on this later.Minigoal Update:
Well, the weekend has [...]

I just finished Book 7 of The Dark Tower, called The Dark Tower, by Stephen King. It’s been a long time since I’ve been as blown away by a book as I was by this one. I’m still trying to process it. I enjoyed the rest of the series. It’s really good, it’s really well-written. [...]
Last night, Kim and I went to Millbourne Mall (I know, I know, why Millbourne?!) to hang out. Well, they have a used-book store and some other things of interest.
We went to the bookstore and made some purchases (The Prydain Chronicles, including The Black Cauldron; The Running Man by Stephen King; and Clash of the [...]
Well, having finished minigoal #1 (A Feast for Crows) in time, I am going to set another goal, keeping in mind that I don’t want to be up until 2am every time one of these things comes due.
The book I’m currently reading is Memories of Ice by Steven Erickson. Given that it is 892 [...]
Well, I squeezed it in, just under the wire. Even if it took me until 2 in the morning.
I finished A Feast for Crows last night and I have to say, I’m a little disappointed.
The story was fantastic. The characters just keep improving. I think that adding the points of view that [...]
I don’t always know how much Nicholas is paying attention. He’s always preferred books that had pictures in them, whether they were comic books or just chapter-type books that had pictures every few pages, like The B.F.G., which I read to him a couple of months ago.
Nicholas and I were part of the way [...]
