Wouldn't their home in I Capture the Castle be wonderful! That's a good one.
ReplyDeleteWow- I love so many of these books! I have been meaning to read The Magicians for a really long time. I hope I get around to reading it soon!
ReplyDeleteI SEE YOU THERE, KVOTHE. I SEE YOU. And I agree completely. The Name of the Wind made my list. Haven't made it to The Wise Man's Fear yet but I agree completely with how much I love all the settings & all the places Kvothe took us in his world. Because I took MONTHS to slowly make my way thru his book, I think I can describe them fully and almost perfectly and I'm so HAPPY about that.
ReplyDeleteI almost put Just Kids on mine! That book was amazing! And I am about to start reading Kushiel's Dart.

Great list. I've not read any of these but they all sound wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGreat list though I've only read Blue Castle and I Capture the Castle (hmm, Castle theme?). Check out our TTT and my sister's review of Blue Castle http://mysistersbookshelf.com/marys-book-review-the-blue-castle-by-l-m-montgomery/
ReplyDeletePeople keep telling me I need to read Rothfuss' books. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteI won The Girl of Fire and Thorns during Armchair BEA. I'm looking forward to reading it!
