I read
the Wheel of Time when I was a teenager, and when Robert Jordan died I was a
bit depressed for a while. Then I found out that Brandon Sanderson was going to
finish it and I got all excited. And then I thought that when Wheel of Time was
finally done I could maybe try to read some Sanderson too. I’ve had Elantris
for ages, so I think the time is here. It’s about magic and fun and all that
kind of stuff. I’m excited.
I’ve
wanted to read Discworld for a long time. And then I was in a bookstore, and
because there is something wrong with me I bought it. So I want to read that.
It’ll be fun. I’ve started reading it, and so far I am having fun. It’s about a
slightly inept magician who has to protect and idiot, who happens to be rich
and a tourist.
Slated
was a book I heard about through YouTube’s Bookrat Misty. It’s about a book
called Kyla. She is accused of being a terrorist and wakes up in a hospital
with all memories, and personality wiped out. She is taken out of the hospital
by her new ‘parents’. It sounds really awesome, and I like the concept. I think
it is going to be fun. Happy about this month’s books.
So, I
live in Amsterdam, and I tried learning Dutch. And I thought it would help to
read a Dutch book. I thought it might be a good idea to read a book I’ve read
fourteen thousand time so I vaguely know what’s happening, thus I shall be
reading Harry Potter en de Steen der Wijzen, or Harry Potter and the sorcerer’s
stone.
As
mentioned I is living in ze Netherlands. I thought it might be a good idea to
read an important Dutch book (although in English). And Anne Frank is an
important part of Dutch history and literary history. So, there we go, Anne
Frank. It’ll be sad and exciting and interesting. So I am looking forward to
that, although, there is some trepidation.
Also, I
just found Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, the sequel to Cinder, and it will be very
hard to stay away from it.
