Okay, so I'm really not that hard to sell on fantasy universes. An author gives me a good one, I'll stick with them for a novel or two (or three or four or...) - anyway. Easily sold on a story with good worldbuilding, me ( Read more... )

^^;; Well yes, but what is the book?!

Skittles, you can't title an entry as "bookgasm" and then squee about a book that sounds REALLY fun and then COMPLETELY NEGLECT TO TELL US WHAT THE BOOK IS.

Now I want to read it!

As Sylvia has said, I'm really fond of breaking that particular rule of conversation.
You know that already, geez.
But yes, I probably should share. Still in hardback, but if I'm done when I get back (hahaha, 'if'), I'll loan it to you. ^_^
It's 'The Name of the Wind,' by Patrick Rothfuss, and I'd been sort of toying with the idea of reading it because someone recommended it. The summary didn't really grab me at first, but I saw it at Half Price and... Yeah. Every bit as good as the flailing fanmasses suggested.

XD Yes, I speak pretty fluent Skittles, but that was a bit too vague even for me.

Skittles: IT'S AWESOME!
Xan: Awesome! What is it?!
Skittles: IT'S AMAZING! BEST BOOK EVER!
Xan: That's GREAT! What is it?!
Skittles: *INCOHERENT FLAILING* EEE!
Xan: PROPER NOUNS, WOMAN! PROPER NOUNS!!

But ooh goodie! Sounds fun! I'll nab your copy if that's all right and if you're done with it. Otherwise maybe we can make another trip to Half-Price and see if they've got another copy. ^_^
