Novels that are hundreds of pages and take me ages to read leave a much deeper impression.<br /><br /><br />(Don't ask me what the stories were about either...... I recall some of them vaguely, just images and ideas. Nothing in detail. I wish I had a better book memory.)Cynthia @ Jellyfish Readshttp://jellyfishreads.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948806179342032942.post-1447280195299217212014-05-30T18:07:24.783+01:002014-05-30T18:07:24.783+01:00Yep.

So when I saw today's topic(s) I just stared and stared and NOTHING. <br /><br /> Fragile Things! I'm pretty sure I've borrowed that one from the library... but don't ask me what the stories were about :D (But yes, the covers are gorgeous)Caycehttp://nijiclovers.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948806179342032942.post-5625714085317637052014-05-28T21:58:40.178+01:002014-05-28T21:58:40.178+01:00I personally really love The Emperor's Soul by...I personally really love The Emperor's Soul by Brandon Sanderson and the prequel novellas to the Throne of Glass series.

I do like the Guys Read collections, because the stories in them are written by some of my favorite writers. I also like Lubar's Lawn Weenies books.
