So, I recently went to a book fair and I got 4 books there, and I randomly decided that I would post my thoughts here as I read them. Mostly because I have trouble describing stories and what I like/dislike about them to other people, and I feel like putting my thoughts down in words will be good mental practice, but hopefully it’ll also be entertaining-ish to read (no promises). If you have any questions or comments somehow, feel free to post them, I like talking about stories.

The first book I’m reading is “A Wizard Alone” by Diane Duane (huh, that’s almost the same name twice), which has the following blurb:
“Becoming a wizard isn’t easy. In fact, it can kill you.
All first-time wizards must go through an initiation in magic called an Ordeal. Most only last a few days. So why has Darryl McAllister been on Ordeal for three months?
Or has he? Darryl hasn’t actually gone anywhere. His body is still here; it’s his mind that seems to have departed. And that’s where Kit and Nita come in. Only together can they unravel the mysteries around Darryl--who he is, what he is, and why the source of all death in the universe, the Lone Power, is desperately trying to destroy him.”

I chose this book almost entirely because of it's blurb. I read a lot of fantasy novels, and I like that this one seems to be based on figuring out something, solving mysteries, but it's really that last line that got me, especially the word "desperately". Like, the literal embodiment of death, being desperate to 'destroy' someone? And two relatively ordinary people (Kit and Nita) getting caught up in it? That hooks my interest. So I think I'll enjoy this book.

I'll probably post to this thread every few chapters, when it seems like i get to a good breaking point.

Hey, I guess I'll make an adopts thread too since I have a handful left over that people never bought. These guys use the old TCPdex format, so the way they're presented might look a bit different from other adopts on this forum.

Just like other adopts, don't create any harmful content with them. Aside from that, do what you like!

(also most if not all of these guys are not-so-subtle references to media i enjoy)
