Wow, found yet another blogspot that I created then promptly forgot I had. *shrug* Who knows. I think I have successfully linked the two now, and can hopefully just switch back and forth about topics.
This blog, I have decided, is going to be specifically about books. Yes, that's right. Books. I don't care if you're talking about real paper-and-ink books, or e-reader books. There is value in both formats.
My reading at this time has fallen a little by the wayside. I find it a wee bit difficult to concentrate. Some of it I blame on stress. But then, stress is part of life, so I shouldn't be surprised by that, now, should I?
Still, I have managed to come across some gems this year.
The first exciting thing I found this past summer was The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. The books are as followed: Hounded, Hexed, and Hammered. Yes, you need to read them in that order. I found it to be a fresh take of the supernatural. Yes, there are vampires and werewolves in it, and I must admit that I like them a lot. The central character, though, is an ancient Druid by the name of Atticus. He runs a New Age bookstore and tea shop and basically tries to live peacefully. However, various gods and goddesses from the Celtic pantheon have no intention of letting this happen, and he and his dog Oberon (an Irish Wolfhound, no less...but then what other kind of dog would a Druid have?) have plenty of trouble to keep them busy, and there will be plenty to keep you turning the pages until you get to the end. Honestly, you need to read these books. No, really. Listen to Mama Bookwitch and go buy them RIGHT NOW. You'll be happier for it.
Then again, I've often thought that if people would just accept that I'm right to begin with, it would save us all a lot of time and trouble.
Happy reading, folks!
