This is a look at the books I'll be reading in June, and it's a bit late, because life, and also laziness. But here we go. Books I'll be reading.
I didn’t
finish this last month, so I’m gonna finish it this month, because I should.
Anyway, I’m like 80-odd pages in, and I just need to make myself finish. It’ll
be hard though, because I have books I really, really want to read, and
Sophie’s world was bugging me a little, or a lot. Anyways, I’ll read it. You
believe me.
In a
roundabout way I came to Brandon Sanderson. I read Wheel of Time and he helped
finish it when Jordan passed away, so I read Elantris. I didn’t particularly
like it, but I thought I’d give him another chance, and people have been raving
about The Mistborn series, so I’ll just have to read it. I am not entirely sure
what it’s about to be honest, because when I’ve seen YouTubers talk about it
they’ve been a bit confused too. I know it’s high fantasy, and heroes and all
that carry on, and that makes me excited, so I’ll read that.
I’ve had
this on my shelf for a long time, for some reason. I don’t know when I bought
it, or for that matter why, because I don’t really read a lot of poetry, but I
have it. I do want to read more poetry though, so I am going to read it,
because poetry, yay. There isn’t all that much to say about I think, except
poetry yay, and you know, this is a critically acclaimed book, so that should
help.
I like
weird non-fiction. I especially like people like Bill Bryson who sees a problem
with himself, his own lack of knowledge, and decides to fix it. He decides to
fix it to the extent of writing a book about the history of nearly everything. He
tries to figure out how we went from nothing to what we have now. This weird
and complicated place that started out as nothing. I also like it because it’s
stuff I should know, but don’t necessarily know. Which is fascinating.
I
finished the Name of the Wind last month, and it was really amazing. Pat
Rothfuss is amazing, he’s an incredible writer and the Name of the Wind is
incredible. And apparently the second book is better so I am looking forward to
that. It’ll be fun. Kvothe’s story is continuing and he is looking for answers,
learning about magic and stuff. I think there will probably be more Elodin in
this one, which is exciting, he’s crazy banana and outstanding. The story
telling is just incredible and the plot and the world is amazing, and I am very
excited.
I love
the Daughter of Smoke and Bone books, they’re so awesome. And the last one came
out a little while ago and I just got it in the mail, which is exciting. Karou
has taken over the Chimera rebellion, even though she doesn’t much want to. The
seraph army has broken into the human world, so, that’s awesome. I love Laini’s
books are awesome, her writing is so beautiful and poetic and it’s awesome. I
am very, very excited to read this.
