The Farewell Post....

It's going to be difficult for me to do this....

On March 22, 2008, I created this blog, not knowing that over 4 years later... it would be seen by over 51,000 people from all around the world.

For the past two years, I have been majorly slacking with posting. I keep saying that I will stop that, but I never do. Life has moved on, and I'm now engrossed in several different projects, which take up a lot of my time. It may seem sad, but I barely have enough time to read anymore.

So, it is with great regret that I announce this will be the last ever post on this particular blog, although I will leave the site up. I will be creating another blog on Blogger under a different account soon, focusing on a different topic than Books. Hopefully, I can be more consistent with my posting on that one. Haha.

It has been a pleasure to share you my opinions and my stories these past 4 years. It's been one heck of a ride. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Jacob. :)

I'm Back....

Well, it's been a while, hasn't it?

I've been super busy the last 5 months, but money has been tight, so I haven't bought books in awhile. And, I'm kinda of sad to report this, aside from reading Rick Riordan's The Son Of Neptune this past fall, I really haven't read a complete novel since July.

I'm going to change that. I recently picked up the US version of The Dead by Charlie Higson. This book is the sequel(altough if you read the description, it's technically a prequel) to his previous novel, The Enemy, which was one of my favorite books that I ever read. So far the action in The Dead is great, & it looks to be another great novel. Higson, in my view, is one of the most impressive writers ever, in my opinion.

So, yeah, I'm going to try my best to keep updating the blog.

Other Ramblings...

• Speaking of Riordan, he recently released the cover for the final book in The Kane Chronicles trilogy, The Serpent's Shadow, out May 1st. He revealed the cover on Rock Center With Brian Williams on Monday. I didn't know he would be on the show, otherwise I would have tuned in. Anyways, here's the cover:

• In case you don't know, I'm a big wrestling fan, too. One of the WWE's biggest Pay-Per-View events of the year, the ROYAL RUMBLE, will be held in my hometown of St. Louis later this month, & I will be attending. I might post some pictures of the event on the blog.
