Brave Story | 
pickI enjoyed this story immensely, but it could've been about 150 pages shorter. There are too many unnecessary or drawn-out side quests. About 1/3 takes place in modern-day Japan before transitioning to a 10-year-old boy's epic quest in a fantasy land called Vision. It's an ambitious novel with betrayal, death, religious conflict, and racism, It is also about love, friendship, & growing up. I was in tears towards the end, but patience is required.
Morning view: I‘m back in the saddle, er, hammock again! This is one of the cases in my library. It‘s alphabetized by title, because it‘s easier for me to locate books. I find that if I forget information about a book, it‘s more often the author‘s name than the title. (Sorry authors, you know I❤️ you.) How do you organize your books? 📚📚📚
When you buy a book simply because the cover intrigues you! Have any of you read this book? Shall I dive in? #prettybooks #bookcollector #coverart
so-soI have to say, I'm not honestly sure how I feel about this one, which doesn't usually happen for me. I did enjoy the story, but at the end it still left me wondering what to make of it!
Hubsband needed to catch up on paperwork so I'm keeping him company on his office couch. I packed two kindles (fire for comics and Paperwhite for the other two books I'm reading) and a bag of snacks.
it's been snowing all day and I didn't have to drive in it. Now I'm going to go read in the bath. happy camper.
last night I got in bed early to read and Hubsband joined me. he read an entire book and I only got 6 percent into brave story because it's 808 pages long. But I also made more headway into extremely loud and incredibly close so.... there's that.
Maps are one of my favorite things in the world so it should be no surprise that I love books with maps. One of the first things I do is read the first page, scanning for place names, and then flip back to the map to orient myself. I'll often find myself going back to the map to figure out main cities and distances.
