travelgirlut gave to: The Alloy of Law (Mistborn, #4) by Brandon Sanderson (Goodreads Author) read in February, 2012	My rating:
Excellent, entertaining book, like I've come to expect from Sanderson. A nice mix of wild west, steampunkish, fantasy, philosophy, humor, and more. It was a very quick read, and definitely left me wanting more. And though the acknowledgements lead...more

travelgirlut gave to: The Confusion (The Baroque Cycle, #2) by Neal Stephenson read in January, 2012	My rating:
After reading a few lackluster young adult books, it was nice to dive into a book that expected some thought and intelligence from its readers. The story can ramble in places, and Neal Stephenson can get a little long winded, but it doesn't bother m...more
