Review: The Name of The Wind

The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One by Patrick Rothfuss

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Patrick Rothfuss tells a masterful story in an intriguing fashion. By the lead character reminiscing & telling his life story to a chronicler, the reader can see not only a story unfolding in the past, but the scene set (in future books) for how his life unfolds in the present. The protagonist's developmental years are covered in this novel, and although 90% of it is spent on his adolescence & the impulsiveness that marks him, he never comes across as painfully egocentric or bratty.

Walking on Sunshine

Summer's here!

I know this because the humidity is just miserable. And it's only at 74%, but I just hate feeling the extra damp in my clothes, my sheets, everything. And that is with the air-conditioning on and the house cooled to 73 degrees F. I'm definitely a cold-weather person. I don't mind heat & humidity when I'm outside, poolside, or beachside, but when I'm inside ... it'd better be comfortable! Ah, well...such is life with 4 seasons, and I adore the other 3, so I'll just tolerate this temporary discomfort!

Here we go again!!!

Well, we are just back from our Disney trip. So, now I have a whole 'nother slew of photos to make into an album. LOL. That's why I wanted so badly to get the album from last year done -- gotta keep those memories separate, so they don't cause confusion. And I still want to do a small album for my nephew, about the trip we took together for his 9th birthday in January! Here are a few pics from our vacation:

"You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany."


"I like Chip. I can remember he's Chip because his nose looks like a chocolate chip, to me."


"Ooh! Sparkly carriage! Those dwarves must've been hard at work!"


"Bad Malificient! BAD! Prince Phillip's gonna mess you up!"


"Excuse me! May I have a large diet Coke please?"


"Excuse me! Does anyone know where the ladies' room is?"


"I love this place!"
