~ Veselin ~ 26 Comments

I’ve been blogging every day for two years straight. I never imagined this blog would grow to become such an important part of my daily life. Thank you all for stopping by and supporting me by clicking the like button, posting comments, or just reading. It means a lot to me.

I just wish the celebratory notification said 2 years instead of 730 days.

Dust by Hugh Howey

~ Veselin ~ Leave a comment

This book is a bit heavier than the first two, and it still gets five stars. I’m thankful that Hugh Howey focused on building an impressive ending rather than building a profitable cliffhanger for the next 15 sequels. The copy I purchased from Artline was also on the heavier side, with a scary size.

Juliette is a bad mayor. She’s more interested in digging a big tunnel than in the needs of the masses. And the masses have all kinds of needs, including some pretty nasty ones, that will make you want to puke. Will she manage to dig the hole, and how far will it go? Will she kill everyone in the process or just some?

I had to read it as an ebook, because with a paper copy there was just no way. Some books are only readable if you can keep them in your pocket. Overall, it is a nice finish to a nice series, I loved it, although I loved the first part the most.

5*/5 for this part, and 5*/5 for the series. I can now safely watch the TV show.

First Book Harvest For 2026

~ Veselin ~ 2 Comments

My love of books requires frequent supplies, and those supplies have a strong love for promotions. A recent buy two, get four deal happened, and here we are. I’m set with paper books for at least another month (not that I’m saying which month. Some of my previous harvests are still unfinished).

  • Brandon Sanderson – Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. I’ve fallen out of love with Sanderson but I still find his shorter books readable
  • Martin Ivanov – Former People. That one is not for me.
  • Chris Whitaker – All the Colors of the Dark. It’s what made me start the order. This book has a very high score on Goodreads.
  • Orhan Pamuk – A Strangeness in My Mind. It would be my first Orhan Pamuk.
  • Dune: House Atreides (Prelude to Dune). It’s been awhile since I read anything about Dune. Curious to see if I’ll find it interesting.
