Name of the Wind (the Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One) | 
New bookshelves are the best way to start the new year 📚
My husband built this on the 31st and we put the books up on January 1st. I‘m so in love (with the man and the shelves ❤️)

Got a few books in from B&N today using my gift cards. I started the tagged book last year, but my library hold ran out and I decided I needed a physical copy. This is one of the books I‘m hoping to read for #chunkstermini #chunksterchallenge2023
The top is the 3rd book in the trilogy and I‘m awful at finishing series. So 🤞🏻I‘ll actually read it. #serieslove2023

I can‘t believe this beautiful hand made book my husband got for me. It‘s illustrated and the little lute is made of wood and wire, and it‘s leather bound. Definitely the most beautiful and fancy book I own now! I feel like it needs a glass case. Made by Geekify in Boulder CO. (Big kudos for finding this hon! 💚)

My letter ‘N‘ books is prob my favorite book of all time…or at least top 10!
For #LetterN one of my favorite books The Name of the Wind. I really wish Rothfuss would finish the series. Him and George R R Martin are driving me nuts 😼
#AlphabetGame @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
so-soI didn‘t enjoy it as much as I had hoped I would. Occasionally slow and plodding.
It‘s midyear wrap up time. My Capricorn heart loves to review over my goals. I also love to make note of my favorite book so far, and my least favorite. I like to compare them to my end of the year stats. A lot can change in six months.
Favorite: The Name of the Wind
Least Fave: A History of Wild Places

pickI didn‘t want to love The Name of the Wind. But this book is stunning. The writing was lyrical, but concise. I probably would have gotten through it faster if I hadn‘t stopped every few paragraphs to admire the writing. But I think that‘s the fun of it. So I didn‘t want to fall in love, but I did anyhow. Now I‘m just praying for book three. 😂😂😂😂

🌲Listen to Audiobooks
🌲DNF Until Something Sticks
🌲Re-read a Favorite
🌲Try a New Genre
🌲Visit a Bookstore or Library
🌲Give Yourself Time
Do you have any helpful tips?

In May, I told myself that I needed a break from epic fantasy. I had planned to dive back into some genres I‘ve been missing and break out of my comfort zone. But yet here I am with my June 2022 tbr that‘s full of fantasy novels. And I have no regrets. Other than the fact that I love The Name of the Wind and we don‘t know when book three will be out. 😅 But other than that I‘m so excited to dive into these chunky books.
pickFinally got round to reading this fairly recently and loved it!
Can definitely see why so many people love it so much.
A brilliant, character driven epic that has clearly inspired many other authors.
The start of #wyrdandwonder is fast approaching! I have big plans to finish the tagged and to add way too many new fantasy reads to my TBR pile.
@imyril
I didn't manage to complete my goals for #awesomeapril but I did make good progress with my non-fiction choice of Incredible Journeys. I did complete the tagged as my fiction choice. Now moving onto my next fiction read, which is the next in my #thingsincommon thread. Picking up on wonders in the titles of IJ and new read Circus of Wonders by Elizabeth MacNeal.

@Clwojick
So I saw this and had to get it … in love with the you can actually read the words… and it‘s the whole book. 🤗📖
#12booksof2021 #May
Wasn't my favorite of the year, but a decent fantasy. This one did the thing that I struggle with for many fantasy worlds. Why CREATE a world where women are second class citizens? Are authors really that uncreative? But it was still pretty interesting and got me started on my audiobook kick.
Thank you @Texreader for the book!! I've seen this book before but never grabbed it, so I'm very excited to read it! I love the chocolate Santa and I'm also very excited to try the peppermint fudge! Thank you so much!
Merry Christmas and Happy #jolabokaflodswap ☃️🍫📖

Day 131.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.
I might be misremembering this detail, but I vaguely recall Kvothe spinning out his story next to a #fireplace in book one of the unfinished Kingkiller Chronicles. Fantasy books are always more appealing to me during the winter months & I have a few on my TBR that I am looking forward to potentially reading over the next couple of months. I heard a few days ago that he created a bit of buzz by reading the prologue to Doors of Stone & said it👇
pick@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks thank you so much! You‘re so thoughtful ❤️🙏🏻 I absolutely love it 🥰 looking forward to diving into this over the holidays 🎄☃️
pickA great book with a fantastic storyline. 3.75/5 Read for #PopSugarReadingChallenge2021 and #ReadHarderChallenge2021
Hahaha this is why I read the reviews first! Mostly just for entertainment.
Picture is of a review on Audible that gives one out of five stars and is titled, “Lipstick on a Pig”.
IT WAS NIGHT AGAIN. The Waystone Inn lay in silence, and it was a silence of three parts.
#firstlinefridays @ShyBookOwl
Just bought the 10th anniversary edition of The Name of the Wind, it's gorgeous. :)
A clever, thoughtless person is one of the most terrifying things there is.

Day 22
4th read, as it is my comfort read when life gets messy (well, messier)
Still poetic and beautiful as ever 💚
pickAs recommended by Rachel Parris on ‘Between the covers‘, this was really good! Like if Robin Hobb wrote Harry Potter for adults! It‘s a chunkster and I got restless at the 3/4 mark (prob more me than the book!) but amazing world building, characters to really root for and a plot that keeps you guessing! A fab read! 👍 #betweenthecovers
Pat, it hasn‘t been 84 years, but it‘s been 1.5 decades since the release of the first book. This trilogy has slowly leaked from my brain overtime. Someone asked if I had read it & for my thoughts, & I realized, why? I can‘t recall. I know I had ❤️‘d it, I know I had been excited. I know that I lost hope of a conclusion about 5 years ago. I wish litsy had polls, Bc I want to know! Whose holding out hope? Whose given up? & Who doesn‘t care anymore?
so-soOh man, this really is a chronicle. So here comes my #unpopularopinion: I don't mind reading a chunkster if there's good reason for it to be a chunkster. This whole 660 pages was just the beginning of Kvothe's life story which was interesting enough but I still felt like it could've been told in half the amount of pages and still not feel rushed. 🤷🏻♀️

Busy day today, but getting a bit of reading time in with this #audiobook tome for @DeweysReadathon!
pickReread this for the first time in 10+ years: Its an enjoyable read, but not as brilliant as i remember it being
#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks
so-soI don't know what's wrong with me. Everyone else loved this book. Maybe it was just my mood, but I thought it was too long and too rambling and slow. My interest waxed and waned with the action. It"s like listening to your grandfather give directions and he goes on and on--get to the point!
#MarvelousMarch #Readathon 4th book read
@Andrew65
Finally delving into this beast. Kinda hoping I don't like it so I won't have to wait for the third book
Congratulations @TheLudicReader
1 - A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie. Why? I work a LOT. It‘s an easy listen with great narration that takes my mind off of our crazy world with an even more insane world! Light on heavy world building & all about the morally gray characters.
2 - The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It‘s a magical coming of age epic fantasy. Lovely prose. Great narration, world building & character development.
🖤🎉👇🏻

1. The original cover is also great, but I love the 10th anniversary edition cover.
2. Mercy Thompson
3. I just gave a coworker an entire list! 😆
Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView 💜
1. A friend just sent me a book of photos by Neal Casal. A beautiful book I will treasure forever.
2. The tagged book. Fantasy is difficult for me. It “clicks” or it doesn‘t. I loved thhis book.
3. Bel Canto - Ann Patchett

I‘m wrapping up Christmas presents today. I bought Dillon signed copies of King Killer Chronicles. He is crazy for KKC. Additionally, a few other KKC items I‘ll show once unwrapped. If you have never been to the World Builder‘s site, check it out. I also bought Dillon his TAK board from there. Author approved and proceeds go to Heifer International. 🐄 #kingkillerchronicles #kvothe #christmas
And the TBR list continues....
I couldn't help but snag up The Name of the Wind. I hear rumors that Rothfuss is going to release the next book in the Kingkiller series, so I want to make sure I read the other books before it comes out.
Also, if anyone has yet to read Winter in Paradise it's on sale.
#kindledeal #ebook
On my #bookquilt because it's simply amazing, even if Rothfuss never finishes the series. Also the audiobook is wonderfully narrated.
