This was an amazing novel. It is one of the best novels I have ever read. I know the size is daunting, but I do recommend it to any fantasy lovers.

The twist in the novel helped me get through it. It was just alright overall.

I quite enjoyed this brief look into the mind of an author and long distance runner. I will probably have this on a list of best books I read year.

Horns: A Novel | Joe Hill

Pickpick

Not my favourite Joe Hill novel, but it is a solid read. I enjoyed how you bounced back and forth from past to present. The novel did get a bit depraved at points, but it made sense in context why it went down that path.

Carrie | Stephen King
Pickpick

Not his best novel, but it is quite impressivr if you remember it was King's debut. The way he dove into the psychology of the fate event was quite interesting.

It was better than the last one in the series. I enjoyed the perspective of Four.

This was great. I enjoyed the perspectives, one being so different from the usual. The ending was a surprise but I do thibk it works for the novel.

Thanks @booksandpositivitea for the tag for #tuesdaytidbits

1. I'm pretty happy with my reading spot right now. An oversized chair, an ottoman for my feet to be up on, surronded by my book shelves.

2. I don't eat or drink much while reading. I do enjoy reading while drinking my morning coffee though.

3. Brandon Sanderson or JRR Tolkien are the ones that stick out. I love a good fantasy or sci-fi to get cozy with.

4. I have no one to tag.

Allegiant | Veronica Roth

The series was alright. The first novel was the high point, for sure. Allegiant was alright, but it suffered. I personally did not like the duo perspectives, I just dont understand why you start that in the last book and not the second one.

The Fall of Hyperion | Dan Simmons
post image
Pickpick

I enjoyed the ending of the first part of the Hyperion Cantos.

You get more of the characters from the first, fleshed out with their motives intact. You also are introduced to some new characters, some playing very interesting roles and used as interesting plot devices.

I thought the first one was slightly better, but this one wraps up the first half well. I look forward to reading the next two novels.

Starting Allegiant, the third book for my book club. The book club has two people, it is place for us to share our thoughts on books and to share our lovenof reading together. I look forward to see where this novel goes and how the series is wrapped up.

Needed a break from the other books I am in the middle of reading. It was about on par with his other novels in the seties. I did enjoy the scifi aspects in the novel. Also was picked up to complete the series.
