Had a busy week, wasn’t able to read much. Couldn’t even go through all the responses from last week’s thread.
Still reading Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. I have read first 40 pages or so, and the book hold up pretty well. I am enjoying what I am reading, and my kid is loving them too.
Also started The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson. Book 1 of 2nd era of Mistborn. I don’t start multiple books at a time, but I had to go somewhere where I would have few hours free, and I realised I would finish the Famous Five book in an hour or so, and didn’t want to take multiple books, so took Alloy of Law with me.
I am about half-way done, and it’s interesting to see how the world has evolved, and the myths / history of the world. Also the changes in allomancy are interesting. Looking forward to finishing it soon.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
There’s a Midyear Bingo check-in post, do take a look. Even if you haven’t started this year’s Book Bingo, you can still join, as there are still 6 months remaining only 5 months to go!
For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.
Lol. I guess she married into it.
I just started it and so far it’s ok. It seems to be lacking some description and details to help young readers internalize the material. At least for the tempest it seems to just gloss over a lot of things which is fine if the goal is to summarize but since the goal is to make Shakespeare accessible to children it makes it not very memorable. But haven’t read it all yet.
