I finally picked up Cinder by Marissa Meyer last Thursday. I knew immediately that I was going to want to read the whole series, so ordered them to be shipped to my house. Unfortunately, I finished the first book on Friday, and my package still hasn't arrived. I was able to check out the 2nd through Libby, but I read that in 2 days as well, and the 3rd is checked out through my library, so I'm stuck waiting for the shipment.
In the meantime, I started reading Top Ten Games You Can Play by Yourself In Your Head - I found it through a random role playing game blog, and bought it on a whim. While I support expanding your imagination, and the games and structure included do seem pretty entertaining, the author has managed to write the most pretentious book I've ever encountered - it's insane.
So, to take a break from that, I'm rereading The LEGO Book - LEGO's retelling of their history. I've read it once before, but it's been a while, and it's a pretty fun walk through the history of the company, from tiny wooden toy shop to globally dominant construction toy company.
