Tesh

So, last night I finished reading this book called The Historian. It was awesome, until you got to the ending. The ending did not work. Which sucked, because the rest of the book was pretty good. (Except for a few things, but I'll ignore them.) 

So, as you do, I immediately started another book last night. 

Well, after staring at my bookshelves for a solid ten minutes, trying to decide between reading something new, or finishing my MB era 1 reread or my Percy Jackson reread.

Eventually, I picked up King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo, which I have been meaning to get around to for ages. So, as you do, I took the dust jacket off so I wouldn't damage it while reading the book.

I think I might have lasting eye damage. (Not really.)

LOOK AT THIS BOOK. 

(This is just a random picture off of Google, by the way. Book with the dust jacket on on the left, no dust jacket on the right.)

I mean... What the heck? Clearly her books do well, if her publisher is willing to do that.

I am personally not a fan. It's too flashy and the cover of a book shouldn't look like that. Plus, some of that gold stuff will rub off as I read. However, it suits the book.

It's very nice to transition to something like this, with writing that is just easier to read. I do, however, need to go back and reread Six of Crows. 

This will be a nice break for me, and then I'll get back to MB, and then probably Percy Jackson, and then finally The Wheel of Time, and then maybe Dune or something else like that. Maybe. We'll see. (I keep a list of the books I'm reading in my signature.)
