join me in my adventures and bookish encounters as a born-again english student. non-fiction to literary fiction, some YA and a dabbling of things in between. i'm adding books to the to-read pile faster than they can be read! 
I’m reading The Eye of the World, I’ll have to see what you thought of it! I’m enjoying it very much, so far.
