The Kingkiller returns: The Wise Man's Fear

Huzzah!

If you read my mini-review of The Name of the Wind you would know I'm a bit of a fan of Patrick Rothfuss.  After a long wait, book 2, The Wise Man's Fear, is finally here! My copy came in this morning and I figured I would share pictures of the book for no real reason what-so-ever.

Decent cover art

Mmm, 1008 pages of sweet, sweet High Fantasy.

I am a few chapters in and the long wait has been worth it.  To pick up your copy click here.

Bonus: Rothfuss talking about The Kingkiller Chronicles series (and his awesome beard):

New "Currently Reading" Widget

I've realized I need to do a better job about letting you know of changes I make to the layout of this blog. So, from now on, when I add a blog to the blogroll or a widget or some other feature to the sidebar I will point it out in a post.

Yesterday I added an Amazon widget that lists cover art for the books I am currently reading. You can click on the title or cover and be taken to the Amazon page for that book. This is normally where someone will say they get a commission for items you buy there, but I am not a signed up for that program (a little too many terms and conditions for me). I will try to keep this list up to date. The widget can be found in the sidebar, but I am going to post a copy directly into this post, also:
