Shannara Readthrough: The Elves of Cintra
May Books: 3/5 (The Elves of Cintra) If you recall, squiders, I finished Armageddon’s Children, the first book of the Genesis of Shannara, in March, and decided it ended cliff-hangery enough that I’d better go straight on to the second

Making Progress (But Slowly)
February Books: 2/4 (Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom) (I read Crooked Kingdom in three days. Been a while since I’ve plowed through a 500 page fantasy novel.) Sorry for the Saturday post, squiders. But I’m sick of talking about
