I decided to read this one on a whim. It has been sitting on my shelves for quite a few years, but today it called to me. Hopefully it will be interesting. So far it is!

I read part 1 and 2 of the Masnavi a few years back an really enjoyed them. I would like to dive back in eventually. However, I picked this volume up with some more digestible poems from him to sink back into his world and then maybe one day I will feel ready. There is something magical about Rumi. I am absolutely sure.

I was still in a cosy fantasy mood, so went straight into this one. So far I think I will enjoy it.

Going into this one a bit apprehensive, because I heard from several people it does not live up to Silver Under Nightfall. Yet, I felt it was time to close out this series. No more dragging heels just because I may not love it. After all, I often like books others don't.

I can already tell I am going to love this!

I just switched from the audio to eyeball reading. Nothing against the narrator, but it was not quite working for me as an audio book and I decided I'd rather read this turning actual pages.

Yes, yes, I admit I picked this up because I needed to find a book with an author with X and yes, I went for the comic version rather than the novel because I am a coward. No, just kidding, it was mainly because I was not sure whether I was going to like the story and the novel is quite long! I have to say, the art is very pretty, which is a good start.

DNF after a number of stories including The Tell-Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Black Cat and a few more. I don't think Poe's short stories are for me at this moment in time.
