I read a book, I like a book, I track down that book signed by the author and sometimes even by the cover artist. It is a fun and relaxing hobby, one that keeps me out of trouble—well, mostly anyways!
Today I was surfing the internet and came across a blog I frequent periodically—A Dribble of Ink by Aidan Moher. Aidan and I have been friends for a number of years, have gone to signing events together, and during almost the entirety of that time period I’ve been trying to get him to read The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, easily one of my favorite novels ever.
I was pleased to see today that Aidan has read the book and posted his review on A Dribble of Ink!
And he loved it.
This post is just a quick shout out to that review. If you haven’t read The Shadow of the Wind, do it! It’s great. And if you love it already like I do, Subterranean Press is releasing a beautiful edition of the book—check it out here!
Thanks for the shoutout, Shawn!
The Shadow of the Wind is one of the novels that needs to be read by anyone who can get their hands on it. I'm only too happy to spread the word!

Wow...I mean, I would buy that book for the cover art alone, but the description: murders, a cemetery of lost books, deception, topped off with a Stephen King endorsement? I'd be willing to give it a try.
A beautifully written book that is ranked up in the top 10 (Maybe top 5) books I've ever read!
