Malice (The Faithful and the Fallen #1) by John Gwynne Also, I’m aware it’s science fiction but I think it’s got enough fantasy about it that it’ll still fit my current reading mood. Dune has been on my bookshelves since I was probably 16 and yet I still haven’t read it. My brother-in-law’s favourite book and well… absolute classic. This time around, these are the books I’m thinking about picking up next in no particular order. I do have my 12 Books challenge list and a TBR shelf I set up on Goodreads but of course, I always pick a handful and see what grabs me most at the time. I don’t own book 2 of that series yet and my mood is still pretty well lodged in high fantasy with a dark core. Currently, I’m reading Empire in Black and Gold by Adrian Tchaikovsky, a 600+ page epic fantasy, and first in the Shadows of the Apt series and I have 100 pages left. Here I’m looking at the books I’d like to get to next when I’m nearing the end or finished with a book. I’m an avid Dungeons & Dragons player and most things I do are fantasy-themed, so when the idea came to me I loved it too much not to use it. The name “Inn-Between Books” is, of course, a play on words. This is why I struggle with challenges and “up next” lists, because every time I go to pick my next read, my choices are completely different from the last time. My reading mood changes with the wind very often and I end up reaching the end of a book wanting something completely different. However, it does give me an idea what about the pile of books I look through every time I finish a book?Īs a mood reader, I never know what I’m going to read next. As a slow reader, I never took part because it’d often take me a couple of weeks to finish a book and I didn’t think people would want to read about how I was still reading the same thing as the week before. Heck, it may still be around, I don’t know. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.Years ago in the book blogging world, I recall a weekly feature literally called: “It’s Wednesday! What Are You Reading?” It did what it said on the tin, you’d just talk about what you’re reading that week. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. You do not just use the Inn between Worlds as an occasional base between adventures. It is a place that touches many worlds, some beautiful, some mad, some terrifying.
