The Shadow Prince

I’m still in a reading slump and thought I might try and read a few short kindle books just to make myself feel better. It’s only 111 pages long so it shouldn’t take me too long. It also counts as O in my Author A-Z challenge.

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION:  How has your reading changed in the last 10 years?

This is easy, I actually read! In my early teens I read a few books but not many and in my late teens I’d pretty much stopped reading all together. I think it was about 10 years ago… when I was 19 that I rediscovered reading and I’m embarrassed to say it was because of Twilight. I devoured the first 3 books in a couple of weeks. I was desperate for more and found a few other books to tide me over till the 4th book came out but I didn’t read half as much as I do now. I think I must have read about 12 books a year? Now I’m looking at reading 70-100 books each year. Goodreads (which I discovered in 2012) really helped me find new and exciting books that I would never have heard of otherwise.

I supposed 10 years ago I wasn’t sure what I wanted to read, I wasn’t even sure what genre I liked so really struggled to find a book that grabbed my attention. I must have read so many weird books before I decided the fantasy/sci-fi genre was where my real interest lay. I’ve struggled a bit lately because everything seems really similar now.

If you have any suggestions on a unique fantasy/sci-fi series, they would be greatly appreciated!
