"As they sang, Eliesmore saw the stars in the sky go out one by one like a candle losing its flame. A dark cloud covered the heavens, and a strong wind began to blow. When the last note died away, all that was left was a cloud of darkness, and the Green Company felt their hearts heavy with sadness. Across the misty mountains, dark and cold, snow began to fall, thick and fast."

Today‘s feature is The Martian by #AndyWeir.

True confessions. I never finished this book.

However, the opening lines grabbed my attention. I mean, how could I not buy the book. Have you read it?

I have to say one of my favorite fantasy authors is Patricia A. McKillip. I can‘t even! She‘s written many books, some series, all with diverse story lines, lyrical writing and beautiful characters. I‘m obsessed.

My personal favorite is “The Forgotten Beasts of Eld” I‘ve read it 3 or 4 times by now. It‘s the kind of book I finished reading, flipped over, and started again.

One of the prettiest books I own. When I was a teenager I saved up all my money to buy this books. A few gift cards helped me to make this $75 purchase!

Working hard on this baby. Release day is Sept 9th!
