Who is Alice England

Some Thursday Randomness

Movies
Took our son to see Finding Dory a couple of weeks ago and of all the previews this one was the one I most wanted to see.


I probably won't see Suicide Squad until it comes out on DVD but still looking forward to it. So far Harley Quinn is my favorite character.


Random Stuff
Artist Martin Vargic creates different maps, which can be seen on his website or in his book Vargic's Miscellany of Curious Maps: Mapping the Modern World I really like the look of his Map of Literature.

Here are some interesting bookshelves just because...

ART
Saw these first on Colossal (Site). Artist  Alfred Basha (Facebook) mixes trees and animals to make some beautiful images.

This Week's Reads

Fables vol. 19 Snow White by Bill Willingham
Fables #19 (Goodreads)
**My goal is to finish this series (the main set) by the end of the year. It shouldn't be hard there are only 22 but I keep putting them off.

SkyBorn by David Dalglish
Seraphim #1 (Goodreads)
**I saw this at the library and the cover really grabbed me. Don't really know anything about it other than what the blurb says but it's got elemental weapons and wings, so I gotta give it a try.

The Talon of the Hawk by Jeffe Kennedy
The Twelve Kingdoms #3 (Goodreads)
**Really loving this series.  Wish Andi had been in the second book more but hoping to see more of all three together in any way in this one.

This Week's Reads

A School for Unusual Girls by Kathleen Baldwin
Stranje House #1 (Goodreads)
**I had not heard of this book but the title caught my attention. I've been in the mood for historical and epic fantasy lately. This fits in.

The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan
The Wheel of Time #4 (Goodreads)
**I went through the first three in this series rather quickly but needed a break at the time. Trying to pick it back up again. There are a couple of characters I don't like and with the lengths of these books it can be a lot of work to get through one.

Midnight Never Come by Marie Brennan
The Onyx Court #1 (Goodreads)
**Needed something to read while my son was in his library program for this week. Grabbed this and started reading. So far it's interesting. Queen above (Elizabeth) tied to the Queen below (Invidiana). Making deals with the Fae never goes well, cannot wait to see what happens.
