Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo

This is the follow-up book to Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House.  I didn't refresh myself prior to starting this book which I listened to versus read with my eyes. I enjoy the narrator for this series and I was able to pick back up in the world fairly easily.  I liked that this book tied up some storylines that I really needed to be tied up, but left off just as our heroes go to another realm.  I'll be reading book three the moment it is available. 

One of the reasons I really enjoy this series is how magic is centered at Yale University. It makes sense that if there were magic that it would flourish at universities, a place teaming with new adults having experiences for the first time and discovering what they want to become. 

If you like fantasy, or if you liked Leigh Bardugo's other series, definitely give this one a try, I think you'll be quite pleased. 

Now apropos of nothing, I saw this online recently and I beg to differ. I like my chili over spaghetti and topped with cheese and onions. I've never had it with cinnamon rolls. How about you?

I swear the last few weeks have gone by in the blink of an eye and I really slacked off on posting here!  I have been reading, as always I'd like to read more, and since there are only so many hours in the day and I swear I spend at least three hours a day minimum on just laundry, dishes, and cooking--I'm working on getting back to listening to more books. Audiobooks are amazing and it helps me to keep up with what I want to read. 

I have decided this is our Midwestern Summer.  In May I traveled with friends to Wisconsin. In June Tom and I went to a wedding in Kohler, WI.  At the end of June we went  and stayed in Downtown, Chicago and during the 4th of July weekend we went on a day trip to Crown Point, IN.  In August we are going to Minnesota and then I think in September we are going to St. Louis.

The Midwest is awesome.  I highly recommend you make a plan to visit us here in the Midwest.  I am partial to Chicago since we live in the suburbs. Chicago has amazing food--so many restaurants. And loads of free activities. While w were downtown I went to a free concert in Millenium Park for example. 

Bookwise I have several books to blog about including:
