In Which We Discuss Books I Read in my 26th Year, Week 2/52

I've been reading bits of lots of books, so I haven't finished many recently.

Throne of Glass has been sitting in my unread pile for a while (which is now down to 126 - I need to get a move on to get it below 100 before the end of the year!).  It was okay; a fantasy story about assassins competing to be the top assassin, and ancient magic and a love triangle and whatnot.  It's part of a trilogy, but I don't feel particularly inclined to read the other parts.  Think I gave it a two or three out of five.

Disney Hits is sheet music for Disney songs.  It's a good book for beginners; it includes the vocal line and some basic chords - in essence, the melody someone would normally sing and a bit underneath it to give it depth.  It's not what you'd play if you wanted to sing it, but it's simple and recognisable.  Easy to Play the Nineties is another book of sheet music, which includes things like Always, Words and Un-Break my Heart.  Again, vocal lines and chords.

Roadwork I read as part of my challenge to read Stephen King's novels in order.  I wrote a slightly longer post about it here.

Finally, Use Your Loaf is a book on bread-making.  It's very in depth, explaining things like how yeast works, proper kneading technique, etc etc.  The first half or so is all about technique, and there's a couple of recipes at the end.  I've made some bread rolls from it already, which were delicious.  I might have a go at the actual recipes, but it's more fun to work with the formula and techniques given and try to perfect those than to use it as a recipe book.  I had a lot of fun with it - it's one of my favourite food books now!
