I just had to laugh when I looked over and saw Mr NW’s bedside table. I think he’s being a bit optimistic for a two week holiday!
Mr NW has promised me he will do a proper book haul post soon.

Neverwhere by Neil Gaimon is my holiday reading 😀

What are your impressions so far?
I’m always hearing great things about Gaiman but haven’t actually read any of his books yet. Mr NW is planning on buying Norse Mythology.

This is my second Gaiman book, my first being American Gods. I liked the latter and am enjoying this. Am about 2/3 of the way through. I particularly enjoy his way with words, which sometimes remind me of Douglas Adams.

Why is Oathbringer at the bottom?? 😀
Good luck with that pile – I hope it doesn’t fall on you in your sleep!

It’s better than running out of books! I’ve just added a Sanderson novel to my own pile: The Well of Ascension (Mistborn #2). So excited!! 🙂

I would think that Oathbringer would be close to a week’s reading all by itself 🙂
That picture illustrates why I love my kindle so much. Especially if I have to travel. No more bookbags full of epic tomes, hoping I have enough books to keep me through the time.

I’ve definitely enjoyed the convenience of eBooks but it’s generally hard for me to connect wit the book if I haven’t read it before… travelling is a good point, though!
And yes, I like to call Sanderson books “bludgeoning objects.” 😛

Also, changing the font on the go, 8oz or less vs pounds and pounds, auto-lit.
The more I go on, the more I like the ereading experience 🙂

Nice list! My husband is reading Oathbringer as well! 😛 Will Mrs. NW be touching any of them after he is done? 🙂

I just got back from a 7 day cruise – no kids – and have made a horrifying discovery. Apparently I can’t just sit and read for hours anymore. 😦 I’d like to blame the pregnancy but the physician discomfort is only a small part of it. I’m afraid I got a little bored!
Now I have to question my whole life.

I think it would take more than a 7 day cruise to recover from the sensory overload that is kids. You should try reading with Peppa Pig blaring in the background, might be easier! When are you due?

I am due in May but this one seems more uncomfortable than the others! I try to read when they are playing on their own Kindle, about an hour a day, unless I need to shower that week, or there are no clean dishes left. >.<

Omgosh I actually saw Oathbringer in a shop this afternoon and I couldn’t believe how absolutely massive it is as a hardback! Haven’t googled it yet, bit hoping the paperback will be out around end of may ready for hubby’s birthday start of June (Sanderson is his fave ^_^)

Hopefully the UK paperback release isn’t too far off. It’s the opposite here. Shops only have the paperback and you have to order online to get the hardback.

Ah that’s interesting! I always assumed everywhere released hardbacks first, paperbacks second!
