My musings for the week...
I haven't done a Musing Mondays post in a while, and I figured that today I'm going to get caught up on some of the random weekly questions that I missed.
Random Weekly Question from October 10th: Can you recall a time when you weren’t an avid reader?
Nope. I was probably too young to remember.
Random Weekly Question from October 17th: Who are the key players in your current book? (or current themes, if nonfiction)
Yesterday, I just started reading The Twistrose Key by Tone Almhjell. The key players are Lin Rosenquist and her pet, Rufus.
Random Weekly Question from November 7th: Do you prefer fast-paced novels, or slow, descriptive novels?
Honestly, this question could go either way and I think it depends entirely on the book. Some are slow and saturated with descriptive prose, but if they're good--and I mean really good--then I don't mind the slower pace as long as I'm digging the story. Then, there are some that set a brisk pace, and I feel like the same sort of concept applies. I just don't think it matters as long as the story is good and the pace and descriptions ultimately serve a purpose. If it works it just works.
Random Weekly Question from November 14th: How has your reading changed in the last 10 years?
My reading hasn't changed that much in the last ten years. Except, I do read more and from a larger variety of genres, but that's about it.
Other musings...
To start out this week, I'm currently reading The Twistrose Key by Tone Almhjell.
Synopsis from Goodreads...
Something is wrong in the house Lin's family rented. The clocks tick too slowly. Frost covers the flowerbed, even in a rain storm. And when a secret key marked "Twistrose" arrives for her, Lin finds in a crack in the cellar and unlocks a gate to the world of Sylver. This frozen realm is the home of every dead animal who ever loved a child. Lin is overjoyed to be reunited with Rufus, the pet she buried under the rosebush. But together they must find the missing Winter Prince in order to save Sylver from destruction…and they’re not the only ones hunting for the Prince...

Great answers. I love fast-paced novels. With slower ones I usually skip ahead. Love the cover on The Twistrose Key. Hope you enjoy it.
