[Read-a-thon - 2017]

Hey everyone, I'm new and I'm not entirely sure if I'm welcome to join, but I was planning on reading a lot this weekend anyway, so why not

I'll be doing uni work too, but I'm sure I'll find time to read as well!

[Hello :)]

Thanks I read The Rithmatist a while ago, but unfortunately I didn't really enjoy it. I think it might be because that's Young Adult and the writing style is slightly different, for some reason I just didn't click with it :/ 

I have The Alloy of Law on Audible though, and I'm planning on getting the book at some point as well. I really want to read all his other stuff as well, but there's so much I don't know when I'm meant to get to it all 

 

Awesome, I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new people with similar reading tastes

[Hello :)]

Thanks, Athena!

You're right, it is a reference to the Mistborn trilogy. I was struggling to come up with a name when I looked at my Kindle, which I also gave the name Sazed (you know, storing knowledge/books and all) and I decided to just go for it. I like the name, and I like the trilogy even more 

 

I read a mixture of books, really. Some YA, although I've been drifting away from that a bit lately, Fantasy, historical fiction, literary fiction, crime... Sci-Fi not so much, although I did recently read and adore The Passage by Justin Cronin. I think it's more the stuff set in and around space that I don't like so much (The Martian being an exception). 

My favourite book of all time would have to be The Book Thief by Markus Zusak though

Hey everyone, I'm Alex (female, haha)! I'm from Germany but I moved to the UK for uni and am now in my second year.

I'm literally about to go to sleep so am not really sure what to write about, but I stumbled across this forum and just had to sign up. Will look more into it tomorrow, just thought I'd quickly introduce myself
