I just saw a commercial for NOW 45. Does anyone else remember when they came out with the first NOW CD?
Anyway I had to give you an update after finishing "The Way of Kings" and it is SUPERB!!!!
It got high remarks from authors such as Patrick Rothfuss who said " I loved this book. What else is there to say?"
and Orson Scott Card said "It's rare for a fiction writer to have much understanding of how leadership works and how love really takes root in the human heart. Sanderson is astonishingly wise."
He has a way of making his characters so real that you have to love them. Not to mention he writes from 4 characters perspectives which gives his books a unique insight, maybe that is why you get to love his characters so much.
His magic systems are mysterious yet incredible, his plot lines are deep and intense. He is not one of those writers that writes a first book, thinks its fun and then decides to write more. He plans his stories out so when he writes a trilogy they tie together perfectly, often there is a deeper story that runs all the way through all three stories. I'm probably not even doing the book justice, but just trust me. If you want a book that will have you constantly wanting more, this is the book for you.
Ok now that I got that out, now I am back to L.E. Modesitt. I read his "Imager" trilogy and it was pretty good. I think that this story is a little more interesting than his other series, but lets face it, I'm always going to compare every other writer to Brandon Sanderson. Blame Garett for having me start with his books. I've only just started this one and I do like it, but we shall see.
It is a world of Order Mages, Chaos Mages and Gray Mages. Different countries accept only one type of Mage or all of them. The country this book takes place in is of Order Mages and they believe Chaos and Gray Mages are evil. The main character, not yet a Mage is having troubles of being bored with order and though he understands it, he does not want to accept it, so he is being sent on a quest to find out where he belongs.
I think it will be good, but only time will tell. In the evenings when
Garett and I have time to spare we play Mario Galaxy 2, which is SOOO
much fun!!! It's definitely one of our favorites, and Just Dance 4 is
good for my morning work outs. I am really NOT coordinated so it's good
that no one else sees me. I probably look preetttty silly. 
I am trying to decide what I want to do with my hair. I like it short but then I can't do anything with it. I like it long but it can be so much work. Not to mention I don't have the patience to let my hair grow out. I hate the awkward stage of too long to look style it short-like, but not long enough to do anything with. Soooo if I can keep myself talked into it, I think I might be growing my hair out. We'll see. Anyone else have any of ideas I should try?
Finally we finished the first 4 seasons of "The Mentalist". We have some ideas of who Red John is. If you haven't been watching Season 5, go watch it....Mom......;D It's the greatest show ever! I think Simon Baker (who plays Patrick Jane) is pretty darn awesome.
And for cuteness sake, here are some pictures from the photo shoot for Nikolai's 1st birthday. Just enjoy the cuteness. I do all the time.
Well that is all for now. But you should watch this Superbowl Oreo commercial. It's awesome. Hope y'all have a good week!
Dreaming of being in
Lord of the Rings
