Brandon Sanderson, fantasy's newest master tale-spinner and author of the acclaimed debut Elantris, dares to turn a genre on its head by asking a simple question: What if the prophesied hero failed to defeat the Dark Lord? The answer will be found in the Mistborn Trilogy, a saga of surprises that begins with the book in your hands. Fantasy will never be the same again.
pickA timeless, imaginative tale that blends elements of fantasy, history, and coming-of-age storytelling. Bradbury's prose is lyrical and evocative, immersing readers in the eerie, magical atmosphere of Halloween. His love for the holiday is palpable, and the novel serves as both a celebration and an exploration of its deeper meanings. Categorized as a YA book, its exploration of mortality should resonate with older audiences as well.

Read for #Roll100 as #57 Any #BOTM Cozy fantasy has become a favorite genre of mine & this was a sweet story with a found family, which I also love. Tao is a seer who masquerades as a teller of small fortunes to stay under the radar of the Guild. A loner except for her cart & donkey, she finds herself traveling with 3 strangers who become her friends/family on a quest to help one of them. Good balm for a dark January.
#2025ReadingBracket Thank you @CSeydel for the amazing template! I had so many 5 star reads this month:
Four Ruined Realms
Mistborn
Dreams Lie Beneath
But of course my favorite of the month had to go to Onyx Storm (with Mistborn taking one of my wildcard spots already!) Onyx just gave me all the feels and I‘m upset we have to wait another year to see what happens next.
Created a Tome account today. Have no idea how to use it, but if you‘re there let‘s follow each other! #tome https://tomebooks.com/user/jen_hayes7
Can‘t find the second bookstore of the day in the database (Stranger than Fiction in Ardmore, OK), so I‘ll tag one of my purchases! I was excited to pick up several by Josephine Tey as well.
Been emotionally preparing for this book since reading the first YEARS ago, but still wasn‘t ready for the last piece of the prophecy to happen. 😭 #huey #catsoflitsy
My current in progress reads. Though to be fair, some have been languishing longer than the others. I'm also listening to The Simarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien through libro, and the top one is my Kindle, where I'm reading Forged by Magic by Jenna Wolfheart. This is why it takes me so long to finish a book. I'm a bit erratic. Who else is a mood reader?
Not much better this week! 12/100 #TLT
