Look What Just Arrived! (#6)
People seem to think (and I don’t know where they got this idea from) that I like books. That’s why I got a lot of books for Christmas. So here they are:
- The Path of the Fallen by Dan O’Brien
- The First Man of Rome by Colleen McCullough
- The Riddle by Alison Croggon
- The Skystone by Jack Whyte
- City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
- The City by David Moody
- The Return Man by V. M. Zito
Actually, the first one, The Path of the Fallen is not a Christmas present so much as a pleasant Christmas Eve surprise from the author who sent me his book to review. Dan O’Brien’s book will be a workout for my wrists because it is 600 pages and is a surprisingly heavy book.
Aside from City of Fallen Angels, all of the books I received are ones I’ve never read. Yesterday I finished The Return Man (expect a review soon!) and last night, or early in the morning depending on how you count I finished The City by David Moody. I want to finish some of the books I received last time and the time before that (and the time before the time before that) before I start on any other new ones, which means I’ll be reading and reviewing popular fiction like Game of Thrones and 1984.
So, my fellow book lovers, what did you get for Christmas?
The Naming by Alison Croggon
Well, it’s Wednesday today so you know what that means: guest posting. Today I’m over at We Heart Reading, reviewing The Naming by Alison Croggon. If you like epic fantasy, you’ll love how Alison Croggon mixes old tropes with her own new ones to create the world of Edil-Amarandh.
