The Magician’s Apprentice by Trudi Canavan is really good, and I unfortunately haven’t been able to find either of the following books of the series in physical stores. An interesting aspect of them is that magicians all have a limited supply of magic within them but it is possible to draw magic from others, so some take apprentices as a source of magic when in need and others choose to take it by force.

I have the entire series; bought them all as they were published. I love the prequel book

I’m currently reading Scott Westerfeld’s third book in the Zeroes series, Nexus. I love this author, so I’m excited to see how he ends the story.

I thought Unwind was such an interesting book! I recommended it to several friends after I was done reading. I haven’t read any other books from Neal Shesterman, but I will check out Sythe.

That’s a beautiful book! I have the mini faux-leather box set, which I do really like. I still have yet to finish the first book, as I started it months ago but got distracted and forgot about it.

Ooh I’ve been wanting to re-read Anne of Green Gables for a while now! I love re-reading books I read when I was little, especially classics.
Because I had a day or two between when I finished Fellowship of the Ring and when I could go pick up The Two Towers and I can’t go that long without reading, I started Dig by A.S. King and holy moly, it’s fantastic. Like, set my alarm a whole hour early so I could have extra time to read this morning fantastic. It’s a contemporary YA that is so timely and genuine and hearfelt, I still have a hundred pages left but I can’t recommend it highly enough!!

i’ll have to look into dig! And i’m the same way, I treat my books as well as I can but years down the road they end up looking very well loved from re-reading and re-reading. My harry potter books have shown that wear especially but i think it makes them all the better

Oh my copy of Sorcerer’s stone is held together about as well as Harry’s glasses 
Between me and all of my siblings, I’m pretty sure it spent about a year on the floor of our minivan being picked up and put down on the way to school/extracurriculars. Definitely well-loved!

Do you SEE the cracks in these spines? 
I lost track of how many times I’ve read this trilogy. Something north of 15.

I love how this series toys with magical-reality; it feels like Neil Gaiman’s “Stardust” had a baby with Erin Morgenstern’s “Night Circus”. Divination cards are a catalyzing plot point - which I’m clearly obsessed with.
Anyone else fallen down this rabbit hole?
