It’s been three months since I’ve participated in this feature. Whoops. (Ugh.)
Shelf Control is a weekly celebration of the unread books languishing on our bookshelves created and hosted by Lisa @ Bookshelf Fantasies. It’s a whole lotta fun, so if you’re interested in participating yourself, click the backlink above.
This week I’m gonna highlight a book I’ve had for a couple of months, but (obviously) haven’t read yet. It’s Eragon by Christopher Paolini.
Eragon by Christopher Paolini
SERIES: The Inheritance Cycle (Book #1)
LENGTH: 528 pages
GENRES: Fantasy, YA, Fiction
PUBLISHER: Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers
RELEASE DATE: 1 August 2003
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
When fifteen-year-old Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.
Overnight his simple life is shattered, and, gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save–or destroy–the Empire.
Why It Languishes on my Bookshelf
WHEN I GOT IT: March 2023
WHY I WANTED TO READ IT: Two reasons- One: I never finished the series (I only read the first three books), and, Two: Murtagh, a new adventure set in the same universe, is releasing later this year.
WHY I HAVEN’T READ IT YET: I kept getting distracted by other books.
WILL I EVER READ IT?: I don’t know, actually. I’m not as revved about rereading this series or reading Murtagh as I was at the beginning of the year. Who knows, though.
Anyway, thank you for reading and have an amazing day/night!
See ya ~Mar
