This is one book that’s been on my reading list for some time. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs, has been made into a movie by Tim Burton, but I had my eye on it even before then. It is first in a series of three.

I just finished reading Holly Black’s The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air) and I was not disappointed. Author of the Spiderwick Chronicles and many more faery fantasy books full of rich detail and cunning twists and turns of plot, and always a good sense of humour. I don’t think I’ve read a Holly Black book I didn’t like.

I am really enjoying a new (to me) book from Jim Butcher, The Cinder Spires: The Aeronaut’s Windlass. I’ve read a couple of the Dresden Files series before, but this is the first in the Cinder Spires series. This new world of crystal-powered airships, pirates, and warrior cats is the best fantasy I’ve read in a long time. There is enough undiscovered backstory and possibilities to sustain several series.

I have been interested in the themes of faith and of opposition in all things, such as between ruin and preservation. So I picked a quote on faith.

I am currently reading Brandon Sanderson’s The Hero of Ages. Yes, this is the third book in the Mistborn trilogy, and I haven’t read the first two books in the series. I just dived right into this world without knowing anything about it, but Sanderson does a good job at filling in the backstory so that the reader has some idea of what’s going on.

I just finished Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, Book 3) by Jim Butcher. A very fun read about a smart aleck Wizard fighting evil forces trying to take over the city. Something is stirring up trouble, and he needs to figure out what it is before it destroys him and his friends.
