The Cephalopod Coffeehouse: November 2014


The last Friday of the month is time for The Cephalopod Coffeehouse, a chance for bloggers to get together and discuss the best books they have read in the last month.  Hosted by The Armchair Squid it is a wonderful chance to gain new entries for your to be read list and of course make new friends.

So grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair and find out what I have been reading this month that I haven't all ready bored you with.  Which is Terry Goodkind's Chainfire, the ninth book in the Sword of Truth series which I have been reading amid all my other reading. 


As I may have mention a time or two, Richard and Kahlan rank highly in my top fictional couples of all time so the fact that Chainfire starts of with Richard critically injured and Kahlan missing and wiped from the memories of all but Richard does not a happy Melissa make. 

This book also puts Richard in mortal danger from a beast that the Emperor Jagang has had his Sister's of the Dark cook up.  A relic of sorts from the great war.  Chainfire at times abounds with all sorts of action but there are a part or two that drag.  No book is perfect, it is however enjoyable.  Definitely in the top three I have read this month.

What have you been reading?

    I've seen Terry Goodkind books on my husband's side of the bed, I'll recommend this to him if he hasn't read it already, thank you.

    Sounds like fun, even with favorite characters in peril.

    I've seen Terry Goodkind all over the place, but I've never read any of his books. This sounds interesting. I'll have to check him out.

    I read a biography of Theodore Roosevelt for this month's Cephalopod Coffeehouse. Now I'm reading Graham Nash's rock-n-roll memoir.

    Love,

    I keep on meaning to look into these books because I always see people mentioning them.

    This week I finished reading the last in Terry Pratchett's Bromeliad trilogy, then read a free Kindle book called Old Christmas by Washington Irving (which talks about a traditional Christmas back in the 1800s) and now I'm on my reread of The Hobbit in preparation for the last film next month. :-)

Making Mac and Cheese

Image
One of my favorite vegetables is butternut squash so when Chatelaine  posted this yummy looking recipe  for mac and cheese brimming with squash I immediately pinned it to make at a later time.  Now, before Pinterest  I am willing to admit, recipes got saved in my e-mail, but they never got made.  They just got lost in the shuffle; now they get neatly organized and displayed where I can go through them on a regular basis.  More importantly than that I can try them.   This recipe worked out well for me, I thought the cheese and squash tasted great together, the kids however did not agree.  They like their squash on the side, where they can control how much they ingest.  Next time I will definitely use less breadcrumbs though.

Spooktacular Giveaway Hop

When I was much younger than I am now, I loved nothing more that a good "spooky" story.  I spent many nights laying up in bed reading books that were designed to make your skin crawl and leave you with goose bumps. My personal favourite author for Young Adult Thrillers was and probably still is Christopher Pike.  Twenty years after reading his books some of them still stand out in my mind in perfect clarity.  The top one would be Remember Me. Something about Shari's story struck a chord with me that has echoed through the last twenty years, as any good book should I suppose. Sadly when I was a teenager I didn't hold on to as many books as I do now so I spend a lot of time hunting to replace the ones I really wish I had kept. (Sweet Valley High anyone?) I am giving away a $15 Amazon gift card in the hopes that you can use it to buy a book to be loved as much as I loved this one. a Rafflecopter giveaway This post is part of The Spooktacular Giveaway Hop
