    Random Books: The Storm Edition

    I haven’t done this in a while, but I finally have a day to myself and I missed this feature :). Basically this is a feature where I pick 3 books that fit a theme, and then share them with you. *** Today’s theme is storms! (Since one just passed over us with a vengeance.) *** Orokos is a city of chaos, lashed by probability storms that re-order the world wherever they strike. It covers every inch of the rocky island that it dominates. It has stood for so long that history has forgotten it, and its citizens no longer question…

    Random Books: The Rain Edition

    Do you ever just randomly type a word into Goodreads? I do, especially when I’m bored, awake away too early, or just looking for something new to read! Today I thought it would be fun (since it’s 6:45 and I’m awake for some reason) to post some books that popped up when I typed in “rain” and my thoughts.  Are you prepared for some randomness?
