Random Books: The Storm Edition
I haven’t done this in a while, but I finally have a day to myself and I missed this feature :). Basically this is a feature where I pick 3 books that fit a theme, and then share them with you. *** Today’s theme is storms! (Since one just passed over us with a vengeance.) *** Orokos is a city of chaos, lashed by probability storms that re-order the world wherever they strike. It covers every inch of the rocky island that it dominates. It has stood for so long that history has forgotten it, and its citizens no longer question…

You then get the random thoughts that go through my head as I learn about the book. It’s a fun way to discover new books! *** The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women is a fairly typical all-girls school—that is, if every school teaches advanced martial arts in PE, chemistry always consists of the latest in chemical warfare, and everyone breaks CIA codes for extra credit in computer class.

Random Books: The Rain Edition
Do you ever just randomly type a word into Goodreads? I do, especially when I’m bored, awake away too early, or just looking for something new to read! Today I thought it would be fun (since it’s 6:45 and I’m awake for some reason) to post some books that popped up when I typed in “rain” and my thoughts. Are you prepared for some randomness? Away we go! Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening…
