New Theme
Okay so I was finallly able to be rid of the Garland theme and put up this one. I think I really like it and will probably be keeping it for a while.

I am currently in a transition between themes and I accidentally deleted the files for the previous template (damn! oops) so while I am finishing the new theme I will be using Garland as a default 'in-between' theme.
In my previous post I recommended three books that I had recently re-read for the first time in a while. Now in this post I will be recommending two books that I had read for the first time just a couple of weeks ago.
The books are from author Ken Follett. These are the first books I have read by him and I must say he is an excellent writing as well as story-teller. The books I'm referring to are The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End. In both of these books Follett vividly captures the essence of life in the Medieval time period of England. While reading his books you can actually relate to some of the struggles that the characters are facing and you feel as if you are in the story yourself.
It's 2:30 in the morning and I'm not tired and have nothing better to do than to update my blog. So, with that being the case I figured I would take this time to recommend some books that I finished (re)reading recently. You can see what I am currently reading by checking out my GoodReads page.
Well, these first three books make up the Song of Albion trilogy and are probably my favorite books of all time. Normally when you read books in a trilogy or series the sequels to the first never seem to be quite as good (like with movies), yet with these books that isn't the case. I don't think I could say that each one is better than the previous but I think it's safe to say that each one is as good as the previous.
Okay...So I am currently reading this book (see below) and I must say, it is one the most eye-opening books that I have ever read. For those of you who have not heard of it, or have heard of it but haven't read it, please read this post and go pick up a copy for yourself. It will be well worth it.
