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 →

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 →

The Well of Ascension, by Brandon Sanderson (audio)

Posted on March 26, 2012 by Thistle

Spoilers. Unlike with The Final Empire, I didn’t have to gradually ease into this book. I was already familiar with the characters and world, and I was hooked immediately. I wanted to spend time with those characters I already loved. … Continue reading →

Mistborn: The Final Empire, by Brandon Sanderson (audio)

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Thistle

Epic high fantasy. I’m not going to attempt to summarize this book. For the purposes of this post, my first three words are really enough: epic high fantasy. I do not read high fantasy. Ever. Most of my blog readers … Continue reading →

Mindless Eating, by Brian Wansink (audio)

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Thistle

I have been fascinated by mindful eating and food psychology for a long time. Back when I first began my weight loss journey at Thanksgiving of 2009, I started with only two ideas in mind: eat only when I was … Continue reading →

House of Many Ways, by Diana Wynne Jones (audio)

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Thistle

House of Many Ways is the third book in the Howl series, and like Castle in the Air, it is more a companion novel than a direct sequel. Once again, this book takes place a couple years after the last … Continue reading →
