To me it always felt as if Eragon just dragged on, not that it was particularly dark. Violent at times, but... It's a fantasy novel first and foremost, not horror. Though I have to admit I do remember being frustrated very frequently at Eragon's childish behavior... Might be worth looking into the series again on my end.

No new books recently but I did recall some things I forgot to add to the list initially.

Congrats on being so close to the goal!!

I love Tamora Pierce. This is probably the tenth time or so I'm reading the series xD she's my absolute favorite author. I love practically in the same city, and ive met her on a couple of her tours.

She's also the only famous person I've met that I've actually been star struck around and couldn't speak. XD but she's super down to earth chill and friendly. She's just. So. Amazing

I'm reading tris's book right now. My weather queen. <3 my spirit character. Gah love her so much.

It's funny to see this thread here. I usually do keep track of the books I read in the course of a year. This year I'm already about 45 books in to my goal of 50 for the year. Making that goal won't be a problem for me.

It's always good to see other readers around though!
