The Name of the Wind was a totally unexpected and quite pleasant surprise! Because of my recent negative reaction to George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones when I'd tried reading it and a preconceived notion I had (totally unwarranted), for whatever reason, about Patrick Rothfuss (I kinda' thought of him as a younger version of GRRM) I was expecting to not care for it. I was dead wrong!! Anyway, it was a very enjoyable read and I'm looking forward to the other two books in The Kingkiller Chronicle trilogy.

Next, Taken, (Alex Verus #3) by Benedict Jacka and The Secret in the Old Attic, Nancy Drew #21) by Carolyn Keene (Mildred A Wirt).
Taken was a really great read that was quite exciting and contained multiple unexpected plot twists and surprises. I'll be looking forward to a 4th book in this series that will be available the last week of August.

The Secret in the Old Attic, a Nancy Drew Mystery was, as usual, a nostalgic and fun read for me.

Next will be The Clue in the Crumbling Wall (Nancy Drew #22) by Carolyn Keene (Mildred A Wirt). I might have just read this one a few months ago and if that proves to be true, I'll probably just skip ahead to Nancy Drew #23. Along with Nancy Drew is The Iron Jackal (Tales of the Ketty Jay #3) by Chris Wooding.
