Tome Topple & Update

-
Tome Topple ended last night at 11:59 PM.  At the time of tome topple we were transitioning into in our new house, and I was only able to read to the tome that I had, which was Dragonfly in Amber.  I had been hoping to read Game of Thrones, but it was among the books that were still in storage.  In Dragonfly in Amber I got as far as page 632.  I'm so excited that I am able to get this far in a book that is over 500 pages, and not a YA.  I think there are some YA books that I have read and finished that are over  500 pages.

1Q84
# of Pages: 897

ElfQuest

I started a tome TBR inspired by the tome topple readathon.
Tome TBR
·         Voyager (by Diana Gabaldon)
·         The Name of the Wind (by Patrick Rothfuss)

·         Game of Thrones(Reread) (G.R.R. Martin)
I will be adding more to this list.  The Name of the Wind is a book I am asking for Christmas so hopefully I will receive it.

I got my new mattress and was able to place my bedding on it!

Here is my copy of the first two books in Throne of Glass; Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight.  I hope to get the third one, Heir of Fire for Christmas.  I'm loving the series so far.  Team Chaol!!!  But I like Dorian too, just not as Celaena's lover, but her good friend. I got both of these from BooksaMillion. Add caption I got this one at Barnes & Noble, but I will wait to finish it before I buy or ask for Court of Mist and Fury.  I'm hoping by then it will be in paperback, which I prefer since I take books with me wherever I go.

Top 5 Wednesday: Freebie

Top 5 Characters I Want to be Best Friends I decided for my Freebie to choose from one of the topic suggestions.   I don’t know if any of these characters would want to be friends with me Lol, but I like them and would love to be friends with them. 1.     Sansa Stark from The Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin.   I admit, at first, I didn’t like Sansa didn’t appreciate how she treated Arya, but as the story goes on I have come feel sorry for her and fall for her character.   She goes through so much hell and survives so much trauma, and she needs a friend she can trust.   She also needs a friend who genuinely wants to be that, a friend, and she’s a sweet person, despite her attitude in the beginning. 2.     I would just love to be part of this friend group: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.   All these girls are really cool and would be fun to hang out with. 3. ...

Top 5 Polarizing Books

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.  A lot of people in my generation can't stand this book, because they have realized how flawed this story is, and I get the dislike, I do.  As we get older we begin to see how bad a lot of YA like this can be, but I have a soft spot for this series.  This was the second series that I got into hardcore, the first series being Harry Potter, and I was one of those people who went through the vampire phase.  This was also the second series I got into that my mom liked too, and I am always trying to find ones that both me and my mom can enjoy. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.  I know a lot of people don't like this one, especially since the second one came out, and I have not read the second one so my opinion might change.  I loved the this book.  If it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling I'm going to be interested.  This retelling was done really well in my opinion.  I'll probably get mad at Tamlin like...
