In a short story, a writer can zone in on something tiny and make it feel big, which is something that’s not typically possible in a novel. That’s why most short stories feel closer to ‘real life’ than the epicness of the novel. The Witch is a perfec ...more |

Love your rating system. Pretty much sums up the way I rate also.

I think Hoid only shows up for a very small bit in the mistborn series. It's my favourite trilogy. You get to know him properly in Way of Kings but he pops in everywhere.
No problem! :)

GR is weird like that. Looking forward to going through your selves to get some recommendations. Fever series any good? I've heard good things about it but not sure if it's for me.
Happy reading!
Thanks for the friendvite, Paul! I'm so happy to hear that you love Brandon Sanderson books! My friend on here, Chelsea, adores his books! I have Steelheart on my Kindle and I'm hoping to get to it this year, fingers crossed. Looking forward to chatting with you around GRs! =DPS - GRs is so wierd - if you reply to people on your own wall, then they don't get notified. But if you reply on their on walls, then they do get notified. Just wanted to give you a heads up because I did the same thing. :)
Hi Paul! Thanks for the invitation and welcome to my echo chamber! :D

Hi Kelly, glad you've found a few books from my shelf. :-) Good to see you've rated my favourite book as 5-stars (The Stand).
I'd highly recommend anything Brandon Sanderson.
I seem to be dipping in and out of Rogues and haven't dipped into it for a while now. Will need to get started again!
Hello Paul, Already found several books I can't wait to read on your bookshelves! I am looking forward to seeing your thoughts on your current read, Rogues.
Hi thanks for the request. Love Scotland by the way!
