WoW is hosted at Breaking the Spine!

Title: Inheritance
Author: Christopher Paolini
Publisher: Knopf Books
Page Count: 704
Release Date: November 8, 2011

Description: (From GoodReads)

Not so very long ago, Eragon Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider, was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.
Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances.
The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaƫsia? And if so, at what cost?
This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

p.s. If you haven't voted on my poll yet, I would love it if you did!

Q. IN LIGHT OF THE SUMMER SOLSTICE. ALSO KNOWN AS MIDSUMMER...LET'S TALK ABOUT FAIRIES. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FAIRY TALE OR STORY THAT REVOLVES AROUND THE FAE?

A. Unfortunately I haven't read many books with the fae in them, though I have a bunch on my TBR list. Out of the ones I have though I would have to say The Mortal Instruments. I know fairies don't have a huge part in those books, but I love the way the Seelie Court, fairies, and Queen are described.

Q. GENRE WARS! WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE GENRE AND WHICH BOOK IN THAT GENRE MADE IT YOUR FAVORITE?

A. Fantasy I should think. There are so many books that made it my favorite genre that I don't know where to start, but a big one was Harry Potter.

Climbing the Mountain. Literally.



Usually on a Sunday morning I am sound asleep or reading, or watching my cat try to eat my fingers off, or even having my dog burst into my room and start to lick my face - which is kind of gross first thing in the morning. I am not usually, however, getting up at 4 in the morning to get ready to start climbing up an entire mountain by 6:15.

But last Sunday that is what I did, and let me tell you, physically, it was the hardest thing I have done thus far in my life. Of course, climbing Mount Saint Helens today is probably easier than it was before it blew its top off, but the climb up still took me about seven hours.

Two days later and I am still recovering, yesterday I didn't wake up until noon! It was definitely an awesome experience and something to check off my bucket list, but I don't really think that I have a future in mountaineering.

The only mountain that I will be scaling for a while is going to be the ever growing Mount Read Me.

Q. The magic book fairy pops out of your cereal box and says "you and your favorite character (from a book of course) can switch places!" Who are you going to switch with

A. I would switch with... hmmm that's a hard one, there are a ton that I want to say, but for today I think that I am going with Daine from Tamora Pierce's Immortals Series, because she can talk to animals and shape-shiift!
