Warbreaker | Brandon Sanderson
post image

I don‘t understand where November went. Seriously, it flew by. I guess it‘s time for a wrap up.

What did you read this month? Any new favorites?

I really loved Warbreaker. And I‘m super excited to finally close out that chunk of the Cosmere. Now it‘s time to move on to the Secret Projects.

Zoes_Human That is my favorite of the Cosmere books! 1d

The Puzzle Master: A Novel | Danielle Trussoni
post image
Pickpick

The Puzzle Master took off from the very beginning and didn‘t slow down. It was a great atmospheric read that‘s perfect for this time of year.

My main problem with this one was that the author just tried to do a little too much in one story. But other than that it was a quick, fun read.

I finally got my hands on The Sunlit Man which brings my year of Sanderson to a close.

I‘m a little ashamed to admit that I haven‘t read any of the Secret Projects yet. Which one was your favorite?

All Hallows: A Novel | Christopher Golden
post image
Pickpick

And just like that I‘m posting the last review of spooky season. All Hallows was a fun book to read on Halloween night. It had all of the nostalgic Halloween vibes.

However, it did read a bit more like a domestic thriller than a horror I did enjoy it but by the time the monster came around I had lost a little bit of interest. Overall, I‘d probably give it about a three star rating. But it‘s definitely one to add to your list for next Halloween.

QOTD: Are you an advent calendar lover?

AOTD: I am. Cj bought me one a few years ago and I loved it.

We‘re starting Christmas a little early this year. I normally do a bookish Christmas gift guide later in December but I wanted to share a few advent calendars that caught my attention.

I have this particular advent calendar listed over on my Pangobooks Shop. I‘m Wildwood Reads over there

Warbreaker | Brandon Sanderson

What are you reading this month?

I‘m not completely ready to give up spooky season so I think Bag of Bones will be perfect.

And I wanted to finish the Cosmere this year and I‘ve yet to read Warbreaker.

So those are the main books on my tbr.

Frankenstein | Mary Shelly
post image
Panpan

It‘s no secret that Frankenstein is more of a study on the horrors of humanity than anything else, but I still wish it had focused more on the creation of the monster. The tension just wasn‘t there. Essentially, he said I built a monster. Then the next sentence was I lost the monster. I just didn‘t feel connected to the plot. It did like the monsters monologue but at that point I had already checked out and lost interest.

Dark Harvest | Norman Partridge
post image
Mehso-so

Dark Harvest had all the right vibes but you have to suspend your belief for this one. The author never really explains what‘s happening. And that‘s where I got lost. I want to know why this pumpkin walks around. If the Harvest Guild controls the town with dark magic say that. Spill that spooky gossip. That‘s what I crave. Don‘t just build something up and then just end it. That takes half of the fun away.I would have definitely liked more depth.

TEArificbooks In the movie it explains that if they don‘t hunt the pumpkin monster down a huge dust storm comes and destroys their fields for 9 years. But they have healthy abundant crops if they are successful. (edited) 1mo
AVChrista I just watched the movie and it was fine, worth watching once. It also doesn‘t get into the why, it just happens. Reminds me of Shirley Jackson‘s “The Lottery”. 1mo

The Exorcist started out a little slow. I started it several times and put it down, but finally this time it stuck. And let me tell you when the story finally started going it really picked up speed.

I don‘t scare easily but this one unnerved me. It definitely made me fall back in love with classic horror.

Hell Bent | Leigh Bardugo
post image
Mehso-so

Hell Bent was one of my most anticipated books of the year but unfortunately I didn‘t love it as much as I hoped I would. There was just too long of a gap from when Ninth House first released (Oct 2019) to now. My reading taste has changed a lot so I just didn‘t love this as much as I once would have. However, it‘s still very atmospheric so if you‘re looking for an occult dark academic book for the fall you might want to check this series out

Decorating for Halloween is one of my favorite parts of the holiday. And let me tell you I go all out. Almost every room in our house will end up decorated. Mainly because I buy more decorations than I actually need but that‘s part of the fun of it. So today I just wanted to take a second and show you a glimpse of the Halloween madness that is my house right now.

Ok. What the heck?!?!?! I mean seriously, I‘m still reeling from that ending.

Was Fourth Wing perfectly executed? Nope. Was it exactly what I needed at the time? Yep. It was a fun quick, read that I enjoyed based only on the vibes. But sometimes that‘s enough for me.It definitely has some plot holes and unanswered questions. And it‘s filled with tropes. Seriously almost all of them. So you might want to keep that in mind.

Hell House | Richard Matheson

Y‘all. Hell House is a perfect example of why you should dnf a book if it‘s not working for you. It took me three weeks to read this barely 300 page book.

I had high hopes for it but it definitely let me down. The characters were so one dimensional that by the time the haunting started I didn‘t care if anything happened to them. It just didn‘t work for me.

It took me a minute to decide what to rate this one. I loved the ending. It was super unique and unexpected. And the middle started out strong. But the ending lacked just a little something. It felt more like a thriller that needed a bit more depth. But overall it was a fun read I just expected more supernatural elements.

I‘ve always been a Riley Sager fan. I‘ve read his new release every summer. While I‘ve enjoyed most of them nothing has ever rivaled The Last Time I Lied. It‘s always been my favorite.

groofay Shadows of Self was so excellent, though the most heartbreaking of all the Sanderson I've read yet.

My personal favorite read of the year so far is Every Heart a Doorway. The main character is practically me, and I felt more seen in that book than maybe any other media I've ever consumed. I've read “better“ books, but that's one that will stay with me.

Shadows of Self | Brandon Sanderson
post image

Here‘s my ranking for Mistborn Era 2. I honestly can say this is my favorite Cosmere series. It was so hard to rank these honestly. But Shadows of Self really knocked it out of the park.

How would you rank them?

My full thoughts: https://wildwoodreads.com/2023/06/19/ranking-the-wax-and-wayne-series/

TurnerofPages I feel ashamed. I am a relative newcomer to the Brandon Sanderson phenomena. The only book I read from him so far is “The Way of Kings“ (which was incredible!!), so I can't rank anything of his as of yet. I need to get on the ball!!! 5mo
wildwoodreads @TurnerofPages Getting through The Way of Kings is impressive in itself. That‘s a chunky book! But I definitely encourage you to read more of his work. I haven‘t been disappointed yet! 5mo
TurnerofPages I'm a sucker for 70's and 80's old-school fantasy covers. Mr. Sanderson's books have more of a “today“ vibe, and I think that's why I've been overlooking his books. I've literally been judging a book by its cover! I started with The Stormlight Archive because the covers really appealed to me, like the days of old. I know that's not justifiable, and I think I just need to accept the fact that those covers are gone forever. I'm stubborn that way. 😞 5mo
wildwoodreads @TurnerofPages I totally understand though! I totally judge covers. I‘ve just recently within the past few years started reading fantasy so I haven‘t really developed a cover preference yet. But I‘m totally obsessed with 90s horror covers. I gravitate toward them. They make me feel nostalgic because my reading journey started with Goosebumps and Fear Street books. 5mo
TurnerofPages The Goosebumps books are definitely a pleasure!! Yes, I am the same way with horror covers as I am with fantasy covers. Again, the traditional 80s covers are an instant magnet for me. Anything from Zebra Books and the old Leisure Horror Books with the “cheesy“ covers most certainly grabs my attention. And of course, the Goosebumps and Fear Street books! 5mo

The Last Word was so, so good. I enjoyed it from the very beginning. Buttt given the nature of the story, I wouldn‘t say anything else because this guy wrote a whole thriller centered around someone giving an author a bad review. I‘m just kidding though I absolutely loved this one.

The atmosphere was oppressive and creepy. And there were twists and turns around every corner that kept me hooked until the end.

My first book of June was The Year of the Witching. I went in with high hopes, but it let me down in a few places.

Time for another monthly wrap up. May was a good month. I finally finished up Rhythm of War, which took most of my month. But I listened to some really great audiobooks along the way too. I‘m glad to finally have finished The Stormlight Archives, but I can‘t wait for the next book to come out.

What did you read this month?

Today I wanted to read my reviews and rank The Stormlight Archives books in the order of the ones I enjoyed most to least.

Now don‘t get me wrong, I enjoyed all of them.
This is just a way for me to compile my thoughts into one place for easy access when book five comes out. So head to Wildwood Reads to see why I ranked each book the way I did and join the discussion.

Pickpick

I‘ve done it! I finally finished Rhythm of War. Overall, I mostly loved it but I did find that it dragged in a few places.

I think it was because more of Venli‘s pov was thrown in the mix. I found myself wanting to get back to the characters that I know and loved. But I eventually warmed up to Venli and the story picked back up.

Sanderson closed a lot of plot points in this story but opened up so many more. I‘m interested to see where it goes.
