Hi! I’m Vici — if I had to describe myself in D&D terms, I’d be a 5'55 chaotic good rogue.

    I put off reading this series for the longest time because as a 30-something millennial I felt "too old" to read it. But I'm so glad I did!

    Loved the magic system, the characters, and how commentary on racism, misogyny, and bigotry was woven into the story. I also thought the portrayal of grief was very well done.

    Have since read Bloodmarked and am currently on Oathbound. Will definitely be a series I come back to.

    I read this one for the Read Around the World Challenge with my book club. This month’s country was Ghana, and I chose this book after hearing many good things about it. I listened to the audiobook, and it wasn’t an easy experience, at times it was really hard to get through, especially knowing it’s not pure fiction but based on true events.

    The story follows two women during the internal slave trade in Ghana: one who is forced into slavery, and one who is the daughter of a chief, desperate to be more than everyone wants her to be. This short book sometimes held incredible depth, but at other times felt lacking. I often wished the story and characters had more room to breathe.

  • Books vs their movie adaptations

    What are some good books to read before watching their movie adaptations ? Is there any films that lived up to the books ? Any genres welcomed.

    We are on Pagebound so I know we all love reading. What are your other passions/hobbies besides reading.

    I have two big ones.

    I love buying and watching movies. In particular Criterion Editions or small boutique companies like Shout Factory or Arrow. I am particularly fond of older movies especially if the discs have lots of special features for me to watch. This weekend I watched Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes and Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity.

    Board Games is my other. My wife and I play a lot of board games. Lately we have been playing Elder Scrolls.
