A quick blog tonight with just a few notes. Tonight it is because of a lack of time and an early bedtime tomorrow. In the future, I am going to try to do better with the whole "summary" thing instead of spelling out word for word every detail of the book. Didn't get any Shadowfever reading in today because my kindle wasn't cooperating. Not sure what happened, but it is working now. Have to call amazon...
I'm also mixing things up a bit- I have to be in the car all day tomorrow so I'm getting Shadowfever for my MP3 and I got a paperback copy of The Lost Gate.
