Yes, I finally made it back to the library and got a book :) I have been wanting to read this for a while and made a suggestion to the library and they got it.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick RothfussTold in Kvothe's own voice, this is the tale of the magically gifted young man who grows to be the most notorious wizard his world has ever seen.The intimate narrative of his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, and his life as a fugitive after the murder of a king form a gripping coming-of-age story unrivaled in recent literature. A high-action story written with a poet's hand, The Name of the Wind is a masterpiece that will transport readers into the body and mind of a wizard.
yay - we'll have to read each others reviews on it :D
ReplyDeleteB,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got your book. :) It is wonderful that you have such a great relationship with your library. The one and only time I suggested a book to my library - I was denied. LOL What can I say, small town living. :)
Have a wonderful day.

Okay, I need to move by you... And go to your library!
ReplyDeleteMy library is probably like Michelle's library... they probably would not do anything to help us get a book. It is wonderful that you have a relationship like that with yours!
Sorry I have not been around lately =(
I hope you are having a great day!
Great book you borrowed! Too bad my library has only old english books, and I mean truly OLD! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy reading the book.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome book! I'll have to check it out. My library has what they call an inter-library loan system. They usually can get me the book I want. Which is great! Have a great day!

Ooh, I like this one! Can't wait to hear what you think of it. It's a good epic fantasy to sink your teeth into.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds fascinating. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you think.
ReplyDeleteAimee,
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to that :) I do wanna start it soon cos I need some good fantasy.
Michelle,
I could have hugged my library. I don't send many requests but they do tend to take me up on the fantasy ones. I have gone with books I have known in the past but this was another way to try it. I am glad they decided to buy it. Dunno if paranormal would get the same response.
Cecile,
Lol, nah you would starve, sure they get some, but since I want English books only these days. Not so much to go after. But they can do listen and I am glad cos of that. Cos I know they have their budget and books they want to buy, but still listen to us too :D
Nina
Old, not good, well depending on them but I know what you mean. Luckily my library do buy new English books. Not as many as English ones but they do buy them
Sherri,
Hm, perhaps that is what we have..dunno what you mean but here the library can borrow books from other libraries. Of course a little fee.
Do have a look, I have heard good things-
Aarti,
Yay I need some good epic fantasy!! :D
Carol,
And I am sure looking forward to reading it. It sounds great
oh I want to read this one too! I first heard about on Book Smugglers. Looking forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that the library was able to get it for you. I think I need to take a break from checking out books for a while so that I can catch up with reading books from my own shelves.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that cover. This is a book that I would naturally gravitate towards and the synopsis sounds awesome!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJenny,
ReplyDeleteI do wanna read it right away, but other books before it. Soon enough.
Alyce,
I should do that too, but luckily just 3 books at home right now.
I know, very glad for my library :)
Staci,
Fantasy is my first love and I have heard good things about it
Oh, yeah, The Name of the Wind is a won derful book! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! The only problem I have is WHERE in the world is the second book? It's been 2 years, I believe! Can't wait to read what you think!:)
ReplyDeleteKrista,
ReplyDeleteOh really, that long, then it's good I start first now so I don't have to wait too long for the next one cos that can sure be awful
Oh, I'll be looking for this one, sounds like just my cup of tea!!
ReplyDeleteDottie :)
Dottie,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear, I am truly glad the library gave it a chance
This one sounds interesting. I'll keep an eye out for your review.
