10. What's your best physical featureI'm going to go with my hair, because it's easily manipulated. If I want it to be curly, it will be curly. If I want it to be straight, it will be straight. If I cared about doing my hair more, it would be the greatest thing ever. As is, I enjoy wearing a bun day in and out, and that's probably not going to ( Read more... )

SAMANTHA YOU ARE FANTASTIC! I am going to be so happy for so long with all these book recommendations!

Firstly, I promise to go past the prologue of The Name of the Wind. There is the first 40 pages of the book in the sample, so I'll be able to see if I am pulled in more over the next couple of days. I hope I am though, because you seem to be very invested in the book and that is always a good sign.

I'm going to add everything to a list of books to sample and subsequently buy though. I've realised today that I'm quite poor, and am going to Sydney for a couple of days for a work-related thing and everything is more expensive there, so that means I can't just buy books on the whim I've become accustomed to. (WOE)

(because Australian publishers do not seem to understand that they need to label that such and such a book is # whatever out of a series, but hey)
Oh so perhaps I can be of help here. Australian publishers legitimately suck. I'm now on the e-book train, however before that all the book buying I did, I did through thebookdepository, which is the greatest website in the world. A quick search of the authors name, and you have these results, which potentially might provide you with books 1 and 4 in the series? IDK. But yes, the best thing about the site (aside from the cheaper than Big W prices) is that it delivers for free no matter how much or how little you spend. From the UK, it delivers for free.

Annnnd because I went there I found out it's cheaper for me to buy Deathless in book form, so now I am staying away because even if it's cheaper I'm still poor.

In any case, thank you so, so much for all these wonderful recs. I am so looking forward to getting my read on for the next like, year... though I'm hoping it won't take me that long, lol. I think I could try to average one book a fortnight.
