Fantastic Fantasy!
Friday, I finished this audiobook:
13. The Riddle-Master of Hed [1976] by Patricia A. McKillip [Audible Audiobook]
Oh my. Much to think on. Much to consider. There are wizards, sort of. And harpists. And shape shifters. And, all manner of odd unaccountable beings and events. It's a bit confusing at first, but parts of the story are also ordinary, such as farmers taking their goods to trade, traders moving goods from place to place, and so forth. So many things or persons are not what they seem! Exciting!
This is my first experience with this author and it was quite enjoyable. The story is creative and compelling and the protagonist is interesting and also developing as he encounters new and sometimes completely puzzling and unusual events.
Bravo!
I listened to this book on audible and will probably read it again on my Kindle eventually to be sure I have understood the major parts before moving on in the series. This is the first in a trilogy and I will surely read all three eventually.
Still reading
I am still reading several books but almost finished with the first two listed.
4. Middlemarch [1872] by George Eliot (aka Mary Anne or Marian Evans) [Kindle].
14. The Wreath [1920] by Sigrid Undset, translated by Tiina Nunnally [Kindle].
15. The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up [2010] by Marie Kondo [iBooks].
Open for Suggestions!
While I started compiling a potential 2015 reading list a couple of months ago, it is not written in stone and I am open for suggestions. Several of my friends have given me specific suggestions or links to lists of excellent books. Keep them coming!
I could use something light to read or something happy...?
