1) The Legend of Eli Monpress
2) The Riyria Revelations
Most magical writing:
Faery Rebels.
Weirdest writing:

Writing that makes you think:
1) Pretty much everything brings up some interesting point or another…..I think that’s the beauty of reading fiction.
So, that’s about the size of it! Still planning on reading 25 books this year, and since I’ve been so sick the last two weeks, I’m making good progress
