I am definitely too much into reading books, mostly fantasy books. I just finished the third book of the Inheritance cycle, only to discover that another book has to be written! I already knew towards the end that he just wasn’t able to finish the story without a really rubbish ending and I really hoped he wouldn’t do just that. I am disappointed that the fourth book still has to be written (so another 2/3 years waiting, perhaps even longer!) but very happy that Christopher did not rush off the ending.

I waited for nearly 2 years for this book to come out; when I finished the second book, Eldest, the writer only just started writing the third (and at that point; last) book and when finally finished in September 2008, Liam got it for me as a Christmas present, and now I have to wait again, for another book to be written… I have to confess that I am not a very patient person, and this is driving me near my limits…

I heard the movie Eragon (The first book) was rubbish so I am not even trying to watch it until Christopher finally finishes the last book. I want to read all the books before I watch the movie(s). However, if you wanted to read the book but have been put off by watching the movie, please get yourself a copy of these books because they are just about the best read I have ever had, their brilliant.

I received the first book of The Black Magicians trilogy from Liam for valentines, as he knows how much I love to read. I have to say, next to Christopher (and a few others), Trudy is now one of my favorite authors! The way she writes just made it impossible for me to put down the book and do some of the household or even go to bed, it is fantastic! If you love fantasies, I really advise that you get the Black Magician Trilogy by Trudy Canavan, it is a brilliant read, I was unable to put down these books and I know it will do the same to everybody, as long as they are willing to open their mind and wonder into a world of fantasy.

I had a look on Trudy’s website and it is her who inspired me to do a few short stories, her advise for writers is to write every day, and as it is one of my goals in live, to write a book, I made myself look at my blog and bow my head in shame, I really do have to make more entries, every day if possible and in the meanwhile work on a nice, little short story which has been going around in my head for ages. I will post it when or if I finish it, so comments are most, most welcome!

Ah… reading… I really get dragged into the whole story, the surroundings and the characters, everything, if the story is good enough. Liam thinks I am silly as it is only ‘a book’, but when I get into things, I laugh when it is funny, I am happy when something amazing for my favorite character(s) happens and I cry when something bad happens. That is how I know when I am reading a brilliant damn good book; if it can sway my emotions and mood, and I have to say, Trudy and Christopher did a fantastic job and they are both in my top 5 writers!
