The book isn’t about the kids’ adventures so much as family and childhood and adulthood, and it’s beautiful. The book spends a lot of time with the Darling parents, who notice their children have gone missing, and we spend time with their grief and their loss. But the book has so much more than the Disney movie. Peter Pan appears and whisks Wendy, John, and Michael Darling off to Neverland for fantastical adventures, where they face down Captain Hook and ticking crocodiles and so on. I know this book is a classic, but it just wasn’t for me.Īfter that, I went to the complete opposite end of the classics spectrum and read Peter Pan by J. ,I especially hate being spoonfed morality. It had some good qualities, certainly, but on the whole, it felt like Orwell was spoonfeeding his morality to me, and I hate being spoonfed anything books.

I have a full review of the book over here, and it’s pretty ranty. But as they realize what’s really involved in running the farm, their idyllic society tumbles toward more of a totalitarian dictatorship. Animal Farm follows a group of animals on a farm who overthrow their human owners, build their own society based on equality and sharing and all the good intentions behind communism, and take up running of the farm themselves. Next, I read Animal Farm by George Orwell.

I know they’re massive, but they’re easy reads, and I can’t recommend this book and the whole series strongly enough. Like wow I just love everything about this series and I am dying for the next book to come out. I especially loved getting more about Dalinar’s past and watching him really struggle with it in real-time. This book was pretty slow at first, and the ending was a little chaotic, but the plot was amazing, and I really adored the character development we got. Dalinar is trying to pull the rulers of the world together into a coalition against the parshendi-turned-voidbringers. Oathbringer picks up right after the end of Words of Radiance.

I’ll keep this spoiler-free and link to full reviews if I have them, but as I said here, part of me finding a work-life balance means I’m stopping full reviews for all books.įirst, I finished Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson, the third book in the Stormlight Archive series. So here are the twelve books I read this month and what I thought of them. And all of these books were new for me-no rereads this month. A couple of these books I ended up with lukewarm feelings. There was plenty of fantasy, but I read a couple classics, one World War II book, three books that were set in a secondary world but otherwise didn’t have other traditional fantasy elements, one literary fiction, one sci fi, and one modern gothic horror thing. I continued with one series I’ve been reading, read a whole new trilogy, and started another one. I read one book in Braille and the rest were audio. Some were really long, and some were really short. Wow! This brigns me to a total of 80 books in 2019, and so I’m back on track to meet my goal of reading one hundred books this year, but also I’m straining my collage app to the limit. While I’m still really tired and can’t quite get my sleep schedule the way I want it, I feel like I’m at least starting to find a balance between work and fun, and I’m really happy.

I also really ramped up my exercise at the barre, because I won a free month and so I just went all the time, and now I’m addicted. I understand a lot of the words that are being used now, at least. I kept on working, and while I still feel like I’m pretty clueless, I’m feeling like I’m slightly less clueless. I started a writing group, and after a lot of gathering people and deciding how we were going to operate and finding where to meet, we finally had our first meeting last weekend and it was everything I wanted it to be.

I also got to meet my agent in person, which was also great. I finished revisions on my book and sent them off to my agent, which is very exciting.

I’m not actually doing NaNoWriMo this year, because I’m living in revision land on a bunch of projects, so word counts are hard, but I am trying to write every day, and so far I’m succeeding.īut before we really get into November, a lot happened in October. The weather is finally turning, the pumpkin spice madness still somehow continues, and it’s NaNoWriMo.
