The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There was so much to love about this book. The language is beautiful, there are many memorable passages that especially speak to people who love books. The way that Daniel's life parallels Julian's, the gothic elements, the mystery, and the setting all add to the way it just draws the reader completely into the book.
I alternately read and listened to the book, and both experiences were great. Highly recommend.

A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny

A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Roger Zelazny is one of my favorite authors, and this book did not disappoint! It takes place in Victorian England during the special month of October when the full moon coincides with Halloween. A very special event takes place when this happens (no spoilers).
Part of the fun in reading this was in figuring out what all the references were, everything from Shakespeare to Lovecraft, Conan Doyle to grade B movies. I might have to purchase a copy and read it each October from now on.
