Late for Day 4 of May’s book photo challenge: Favorite series.
This one is really hard, because I love so many–how can I pick just one series? But I had to go with Carol Berg’s Lighthouse Duet. Beautiful epic fantasy.
I could have gone with Patrick Rothfuss’ KINGKILLER CHRONICLES, or GRRM’s A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, or Jim Butcher’s DRESDEN FILES or CODEX ALERA, or any of Carol Berg’s other books (try THE BRIDGE OF D’ARNATH series). I just keep going back to these books. They make me happy.
Late, as usual. Challenge day three: quote.
THE FOREVER KING is the first fantasy book I remember reading on purpose. I was twelve, and I have loved King Arthur stories ever since.
“My king,” he whispered.
For a moment the field was utterly silent. Not a whisper of breeze, not the chirping of a single insect. It was the sound of time turning backward. And then, ringing across the rolling hills came Arthur’s command, rough with tears and pain and loss:
“To arms! Your king calls you to arms!”
Day two: bookshelf.
This is one of many in the house. Some of my favorite books are here, but not all. Every shelf is two books deep. I may not know what exactly is on each shelf, but I have a general idea where every book is.
I’ll try to be good and post these on the right day (I posted this on Instagram on the right day, at least). Day 1: Introduce yourself.
I’m Jen, and I read a lot of books. I’m rereading Robin Hobb’s “Liveship Traders” series right now so I’m ready for her new book coming out this summer.
Thanks to you guys, I moved up from Gondor to Lothlorien in the WQ this week…
Be sure to keep voting!
We rented Spider-man last night. I’ve seen it twice since then 
We’re supposed to watch it one more time so we can have popcorn during it, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen, cause we had a big dinner…Braveheart was on, and so was the second half of Gladiator, with some new footage cut in a la LotR:FotR. So I don’t think we’ll get to it. Thank gosh Blockbuster gives you till noon to return it now.
I got boots for my Legolas costume today. They might be a little small, but leather is supposed to stretch, and the next half size up was too big. Go fig. I’m trying to draw the buckles and closures so my grandpa can make them for me
It took me three weeks to finish the ten books of the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series. Yup, I’m done. That’s 3.3 books per week or .37 books per day Tres tres bon. Read them.
I remember why I hate watching television in November. Or at least before election day. ‘This candidate did that. Didn’t do that.’ only to have the opponent totally refute the other ad and basically just piss me off. I’m very happy I know I’m a Democrat and my choice is sort of made for me already. It just bugs me that you can’t ever really know what’s true unless you actually got out there and found the ‘records’ that they’re backing the statements up with. I’m so glad we have the privilege of voting, but I hate politics. I would never willingly chose to be a politician. It’s why I would lose in Survivor. Sure, I’d survive, I could do the physical stunts and maybe even some of the mind game ones, but I could never be savvy enough to ally myself with anyone in hopes of winning. What do you think?
So I started the tenth book in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series on monday night. I finished it last night at about 1:30 am. So that’s two books since friday. Man, I couldn’t get enough. I was just a little disappointed at the ending of the tenth book, but if I tell you why I’d ruin it for you. But damn, getting there was great. I don’t know when the next book comes out and the website hasn’t been updated for a while. I’ll have to wait till paperback though. Did I tell you how much I detest buying hardcover books?
I bought the entire series so far last night. Now I have all ten We’ll see how long it takes me to get through all of them.
See, this is why I started rereading the Lord of the Rings in September; I knew there would be other books occupying my time occasionally. This way I’ll always have something to read
It was a good day at work. There were bands in my PCR. This is a good thing, smile and nod. And vote for my site! Come on, I’m in last place *sniff*
Good night, all… ce’arra *in case you’re wondering, I want to write even more now cause Laurell K Hamilton lives in St. Louis. I want to be just like her Hope my writing gives people shivers like hers does to me.
