It’s always nice listening to stories being told by the author. Stardust is narrated by Neil Gaiman. It was more like being told a bedtime story by my parents when I was younger than the usual reading of a book we’ve come to expect.
Things at work are about as crazy as ever. I’m slowly picking at my to do list while at the same time getting ahead where possible and yet feeling like I’m falling behind. This may sound backwards. How can one get ahead but at the same time fall behind? Sounds like a mis-prioritization of work.
In the beginning, Amastan is learning to be an assassin only to find the leaders have outlawed assassinations. He is somewhat relieved at this as he didn’t know if he would be able to take a life if it actually came down to it. But then he finds a body, which turns out to be one of the family.
The story was somewhat interesting. There are a few times Taro almost gets caught, and he gets lucky just squeaking by. There is also a test the students must pass. This test could mean their lives though. They all must work as a team, or they all fail. On this test, things get dicey, as they fight for their lives with something making them go mad.
fter finishing A Gathering of Shadows, book 2 of the Shades of Magic series, I couldn’t wait to start A Conjuring of Light. The cliffhanger the book ends on is one leaving you going “nooo!” I was very happy I was able to work this into my Book Junkie Trials TBR.
Thanks to the Book Junkie Trials, now known as the Bookie Trials, from this past July and Codie’s Book Corner for inspiring my TBR game.
This is the second book in the Chronicles of The One. A young girl, Fallon Swift, struggles with her destiny as The One. She doesn’t want to but in the end, knows she must.
We’ve been in our home for almost a decade, and have finally finished the kitchen. Ironically, the kitchen was the first room we started, and it’s only the second to be finished. Part of it is allowing our wallets to recover some of the large expenses, another part is neither of us are handy so we had to wait for my dad or my father-in-law to be free to help.
My jaw dropped, and my eyes actually bulged out of my head. I knew this course would be in depth, and cover a lot, I just didn’t realize how much. I counted up the modules and found there are 69 modules to complete.
The Sunday Post is a meme put on by Kim from Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a place for us to talk about whatever we want.
