Reading Update: Odd coincidence, just read The Magic Thief and Savvy, two top middle-grade novels, both fantasy, and both use this sort of off-putting style in places, of doubling words, like soggy boggy (Savvy) and black dark (Thief). It was most marked in Savvy and it took me a while to adjust to the style, but then I liked it. Read each in one day.
7. The Magic Thief, Sarah Prineas
6. Savvy, Ingrid Lawq
5. Coraline, Neil Gaiman
4-4.5 A Storm of Swords and A Feast for Crows, George RR Martin
2-3. A Game of Thrones, and A Clash of Kings, by George R.R. Martin, epic fantasy.
1. Jennie, The Romantic Years, the first volume of an old biography of Lady Randolph Churchill, Winston Churchill’s mother, an American.
Re-read.
8-23 All 16 books in Mazo de la Roche’s Jalna series
1-7 Harry Potter, 1 through 7. Amazing how little I remembered of Deathly Hallows.
What do you suggest for someone who can’t read quickly due to eye problems? Something that would be your favorite savoring book? Something that just makes it worth the effort.
