It‘s a good summer to revisit some old favorite authors for me.
It‘s a good summer to revisit some old favorite authors for me.
Decided to go back and reread the set the first got me into sci-fi all those years ago
While this was an ok book about mountain climbing and had some good historical information. I found it a bit tedious and was very disappointed that there wasn‘t on single abominable snow man in the whole book. I think I just went into it expecting something different. I like Simmons as an author and know that he likes to be very detailed, but the book didn‘t live up to the description on the back cover
This set has been recommended by so many people that I had to go out and get it! They are pretty if nothing else. I don‘t normally buy brand new books, and almost never hard backs. Hope it was the right set to splurge in
Combine all the mythologies from around the world, bring it into modern time, throw in a couple of young heroes and mix them all together in an epic battle of good against evil and you come up with an almost perfect book!
Finally getting Around to reading the rest of this series. I loved the first book but wanted to wait for all of the rest to come out before proceeding. I got the final book as soon as it came out but had to finished the ones I was in the middle of first
A new virtual reality game opens a portal to the fairy realm.
A cute fantasy set in 1800s Ireland. The McGunnegal children set off a#in a grand adventure when their sister Colleen accidentally steps through a magic mirror to another world. Full of fairies and witches and goblins and dwarves.
Fair warning: there are actually two more books in the set
A very silly book taking a light hearted approach to child care
An interesting and twisted version of Snow White. I didn‘t realize when I ordered it that it was a graphic novel. Definitely not a kids book but overall very creative
Just got this set! Historical fiction set in turn of the century Russia. Looks like it‘s also romance, which I don‘t usually read, but it also looks like it‘s got a lot of history. Can‘t wait to get started on them
Thank you all for letting this be a safe place from politics and controversy. This is where a find my peace. You are all my people
The Gods of the Ragnarok Era is a new look at Norse Mythology. With Odin and the rest starting of as normal humans who gain godly powers as they overcome obstacles.
The second book in the Avalon series, if you read them chronologically, which culminates in the great Mists of Avalon. Tying history and fantasy together into a wonderfully realistic world
A great combination of fantasy and history set in Japan. Two different story that at first seem completely unrelated gradually come together to make a complete whole.
Warning has some very graphic parts that are at times quite disturbing. Not for the faint of heart. I would definitely read more by this author
Decided to start a new series today. I‘m going off the GoodReads list for reading them in chronological order instead of the order they were written. I‘ve always loved her other books (Marion Zimmerman Bradley), so I‘m expecting to be pleased with this as well
Got this whole set at an antique shop for a great price. I love old books (1928) and I especially love old history books because their perspective is so different
Finally getting around to reading this . Do much better than the movie
My Hunny got me a special shelf for my Middle Earth Collection. I‘m so spoiled 😇
My favorite author just sent me TWO autographed books!!!! If you like fantasy you‘ve got to read some if his stuff
I‘ve got an interview on Wednesday to be a school librarian! Prayers? Good vibes? Please
Just picked up my third collectors edition of the Nath Dragon books! If you like a fast moving fantasy story with a dash of irreverent comedy, these books are for you! He‘s becoming one of my favorite authors
Just finished reading this set of books. They were amazing. Can a young girl and a dragon overcome their differences and save the world?
A little book by my favorite author. I read it in a couple hours. A cute little story about a cat that helps a young prince keep his throne.
I just started this book and I can already tell I‘m going to love it. I loved the Artemis Fowl books and I think this is a great author. But this is NOT a kids book.
The worlds last dragon lives in the swamps and drinks a lot. The street rat who gets a little to deep into the local crime scene. Together they might be able to make this part of the world a better place
A Girl Golem and a boy Jinni arrive in late 1800‘s New York under completely different circumstances. They eventually meet up and have to work together.
I couldn‘t put this book down! A nice crossover between historical fiction and fantasy. I heard there is going to be a sequel, I hope so
An alternate time line where everything is like it is now, but we are still in an ice age- and people have to hibernate. It‘s listed as a comedy but I would classify it as a mystery. I was a bit odd, kinda hard to get into, but in the end definitely worth the read.
The first book in a series of about 8. It covers the time where the Roman Empire is dying and the natives of the British isles are retaking control. Setting the stage for the coming of King Arthur- which happens in the 6th book I believe.
If you‘re a fan of historical fiction, this is a must read.
This is one of the best new fantasy books I‘ve read in a long time. A unique story that you don‘t want to put down. An orphan boy discovers that he can do magic and uses it to change the world. Definitely going to look for more by this author
My valentines present from my hubby ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I always live to get the story behind the story. This one has detailed notes AND cool photos.
I have to sit with a group of kids, waiting for the bus, for about 20 minutes every morning. I‘ve brought various books to read to them but none have gotten their attention like this one. A mouse hero that must travel through a strange land; facing witches, dragons, giants and more. Non stop action and beautiful illustrations. I bought the whole set!
I would describe this as retro- post apocalyptic. It‘s got adventure, mystery, steampunk gadgets, AND giant bugs! One of the best stories I‘ve read in a long time (this is a trilogy) I hope he writes a sequel to it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Look! I finally found a book that was written about me!
I just got this and I can‘t wait to read it.
Lady‘s during the depression going into the mountains of Kentucky to bring people books. Based in real events
I got this book because I love the show. This it what it‘s supposed to be based off. The only similarity is that they have portals that can take them to other planets. So, as a reference to the show- I was disappointed. But as a stand-alone book of its genre, it was worth reading.
I don‘t generally like to give bad reviews, but I barely made it through this one. The basic story line was great and well written- and that made up about a third of the book. It was so constantly being interrupted by these mind numbing scientific details, that by the time they got back to the story you forget what was going on. If I wanted a science book I would have bought one.
Someone on Facebook asked which was the book you read that got you hooked on historical fiction and I realized it was this one.
Not my usual genre but a really incredible book. A modern day historian accidentally gets send back to the time of the Black Plague. In our timeline a desperate scientist faces his own challenges trying to get her back. A bit of a tear jerker but I couldn‘t put it down
An epic fantasy that tells a completely new story. A complex and fast paced story line with realistic characters. A queen in peril, good dragons against evil dragons, a damsel who turns out to be a knight. I couldn‘t put it down!!!
I went to the end of school book discard and brought home hundreds of books to give away to local kids. I‘m feeling proud of myself
A new set of books by one of my favorite authors. A great combination of historical fiction and fantasy. I can‘t wait to read them
Nath Dragon returns to save the world again. Where dragons are hero‘s and fairies are evil and giants want to rule world. Lots of action. A huge variety of magical critters. Add a sprinkle of humor and a pinch of romance.
The tale of a dragon prince that walks the world as a man, trying to earn his wings. Having all ten books together in one place is great! Individually they are kind of short, but as a set it makes for a great read.
If you‘ve read The Stand by Stephen King, you‘ll want to read this one too. They have many similarities but are not the same story, I actually liked this one better
