You guys! I was so into NaNo and Pokemon Go, I forgot my blog post! I’m so sorry, here we go!
I’m two books ahead of schedule! This is so awesome! I feel so accomplished this month 🙂
Here’s the link to my star rating breakdown if anyone needs a refresher. It’s also up in the header 🙂
- What I’m currently reading (in order of Date Started)
- Outlander by Diana Gabaldon– Into Month #2 of reading this for the book club 🙂 Still enjoying it, but I’m not sure if I’m going to continue the series. It’s really going to depend on the ending I think, and I’m nowhere near there yet 🙂
- Wizard and Glass by Stephen King– Book Four in the Dark Tower series. This is where Mr. King lost me last time around. I’m powering through, but I have to say, I’m not all that interested in what’s happening here. It all seems pretty predictable to me, and I feel like I could live without it…
- Audrey Hepburn: An Elegant Spirit by Sean Hepburn Ferrer– This is a book that a friend let me borrow and I’m just now getting around to reading it. Because I’m a terrible friend like that (sorry, Peggy!). It’s a beautiful book and a nice read for a slow day on the couch.

- Miles Errant (Vorkosigan Omnibus #4) by Lois McMaster Bujold- Five Stars

Fog’s Book Of The Month
The Slow Regard of Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I like that Pat put a warning that this book might not be for everyone. I can see how it might have been necessary. But I can also say that this book was definitely for me 🙂 As with all of Pat’s books (I’m using the familiar form of his name because, by god, I feel like the man is my literary friend, fight me ;P), the language was beautiful, but I never felt like it was ostentatious or unnecessary. Every word used in the proper way, every phrase put in it’s perfect place 🙂 Auri was lovely to read about, I loved her more than I have ever loved her before and I will never read about her in the same way again.
As Pat said, this book is for all of those that are a little broken. We are many. We are not alone. This book was a reminder that we are not forgotten and we are beautiful and we are loved. Yet another book that changed my life 🙂
Extra! Extra!
I’ve started reorganizing my bookshelf and putting books into boxes 😦 I know, it’s a sad state, but not as sad as the piles currently on my floor. Stay tuned, I might post photos! 😉
Until next time!
