Just completed the first book in Sarah J. Maas' Throne of Glass series - Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Once again, I've been sucked into another amazing Maas universe! Her characters are interesting and complex, particularly her main character Celaena. Maas is a wonderful storyteller, in that she doesn't hit you with the particulars of her universe all at one time, but allows the world to unfold naturally through the story. And she doesn't hold back important bits to frustrate the reader. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars

The Cat Who Wasn't There, book 14 of the Cat Who series by Lillian Jackson Braun. I've been working on this series for quite awhile. One of those series you don't really want to burn through quickly so there is always another one to read. She wrote 29 of these delightful mysteries and I am only half way through.

I have discovered more series I would like to add to my list. Can we add series as we think of them? I made my list one night late and I only did it from what I could remember when really I should have signed up and then planned it out a little better :(

I would like to revamp and overhaul my previous list. I hope that is ok?
