So I felt like I wanted to make a post. And then I was like, what do I write about? So I'm writing about books. And reading. Because I used to read, like ALL the time. Now that I'm in college, I kinda ran out of lotsa free time, so I don't free read as often. That, and I have to read for my classes, so I feel kinda read-ed out. Is that a term? Probably not. Well, I'm making it a term now.
Anyhow, I wanted to see if anyone (Manda and Taylor I guess) know of some good books to read. Cause I want to read some more.
I'll even post some books I read if you would be interested. Lately I've read some books by a guy named Chris Wooding. His books are sort of fantasy/sci-fi-ish, depending on what book you read. They probably lean more towards fantasy though. But they all seem to have some sort of odd plot development, something that you don't expect to happen. So they're really captivating. Lemme see...the books I've read by him are Storm Thief, Haunting of Alaizabel Cray, and Poison. Again, all very good reads.
Another author I've come to enjoy is Tamora Pierce. Her style is more olden times, medivally stories. They go off of kingdoms and knights and stuff. But they also include magic, mythical creatures and gods. I used to read stuff by her when I was younger, so I guess I don't know how well her stuff would still stand up to my tastes now. Pierce normally writes her books in quartets, meaning in each series there are 4 books. So it's really good if you have a high attention span or have lots of spare time. Especially because each individual book is pretty good sized. So yes, books by her. I guess I'll just name the series names, seeing as naming the books themselves would take a while. There's The Song of the Lioness, The Immortals, Protector of the Small, Circle of Magic, and The Circle Opens.
The Hunger Games is a good series. Except all my favorite characters died. D: But I suppose that's sort of a good thing, that the author can make me actually really care about her characters and get upset at their deaths.
And of course Douglas Adams. He wrote The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and proceeding books. I think these are some of the greatest books. People need to read them.
So yes, those are my thoughts on books. Anybody else want to post some good reads?
