Stephen Leeds is different. He has over 40 different “aspects” of himself, like multiple personalities except they exist outside him, rather than manifesting within him. He calls it some form of schizophrenia, and people pay a lot of money to … Continue reading →

The Uninvited, by Tim Wynne-Jones (audio)

Posted on September 9, 2012 by Thistle

This was an interesting book, and not at all what I expected. When I first saw it go through my library’s catalog, I expected it to be paranormal in some way, or like a ghost story. Instead, it was a … Continue reading →

Gentlemen and Players, by Joanne Harris (audio)

Posted on September 7, 2012 by Thistle

Note: My original review of this literally consisted of a two-sentence reaction. Instead of keeping this post primarily as a placeholder, I’ve written a full review of Gentlemen and Players, and this will be my spoilerific thoughts on first reading. … Continue reading →

Daughter of Smoke and Bone, by Laini Taylor (audio)

Posted on August 24, 2012 by Thistle

I downloaded this book from the SYNC audio YA program this summer, mostly on a whim, as this is unlike most of what I read. At first, I wasn’t sure I would listen to much of it, and probably wouldn’t … Continue reading →

Enchanted Glass, by Diana Wynne Jones (audio)

Posted on August 11, 2012 by Thistle

Another very enjoyable DWJ book! I love how she manages to keep you distracted by so many elements that you really never know how everything will come together in the end! There was one thing about Enchanted Glass that annoyed … Continue reading →

The Prestige, by Christopher Priest (audio)

Posted on August 6, 2012 by Thistle

I first tried to read this years ago, but got bored quickly after it switched to Part 2 (of 5). I heard Simon Vance read the audio, so I decided to give it another try. I’m glad I did, because … Continue reading →

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, by Haruki Murakami (audio)

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Thistle

I’ve never read anything by Murakami before. He’s one of those authors that scares me, probably because a long time ago I heard a rumor about some sort of animal brutality in his book Kafka on the Shore. I’m not … Continue reading →

Faithful Place, by Tana French (audio)

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Thistle

I’m not a real mystery reader, but right around this time of year, I always get in the mood for a good mystery story for some reason. Been that way for the last few years, and this year is no … Continue reading →

The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson

Posted on April 15, 2012 by Thistle

This book had so much in it! It’s the only book of the trilogy that I’ve only read once (so far, because I’ve started to read the whole thing again), and I’m still not sure my brain fully comprehends everything … Continue reading →
