Many stanzas unrelated yet not perhaps entirely

We walk down those faded corridors
marked with water stains
and faded ink
and broken promises
hand in hand we go
with light steps
and broken hearts

A few books this Monday afternoon!

59. Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. Still one of the best books Sanderson has written. It stands next to Way of Kings as the best the Stormlight Archive has to offer, and I almost considered placing it first! But I shall not be rash. This book does start out a little bit slow and it's not perfect by ( Read more... )

Consider the love of God this morning as your heart dwells upon the joy that is yours. For is not this love yours in all its plenitude?

Yet it grows somehow far more quickly than I would imagine and ( Read more... )

as you keep trying to wake up
for perhaps the book on your lap

A few quick book reviews this Monday!

57. Playground by Richard Powers. A book that was so riveting, I knocked out in a day (probably helped by the fact that most of the reading was done in airport/airplane!). My first Richard Powers I've read, maybe not the best one to start with as it's his most recent? Still, I enjoyed the read. I will say ( Read more... )
