Welcome to Litsy!

I did manage to complete the #valentinesdayreadathon on time thanks to my modest goal of just reading the intro (35 pages and tons of characters). I'm definitely losing steam in the #wheeloftime series but I really want to finish what I started! I wonder if Amazon Prime is going to continue this series or not, I had mixed feelings about season 1. Has anyone else seen it?

For the #valentinesdayreadathon challenge my goal is to make it through the intro of Book 8 in the Wheel of Time series (the intros have been notoriously long in the previous books). It's not specifically romance but let's be real, Jordan loves to create that tension between many of his characters. Thanks @Andrew65 for the idea to set a small goal just to keep reading as a consistent delight even when life is busy. All welcome to participate!

Another book done in the Wheel of Time. This book left me feeling uneasy for what will happen next. Names are starting to be harder to remember should start keeping notes.

Everyone is having a rough go of it. Rand is getting more and more questionable in his choices, and poor Perrin has his own new side quest. I did like the story alignment for Morgase and her group. 8.5/10

While it seems the plot is inching forward, and one of main characters is left in the dust, there is so much going on in this volume. Invasion, intrigue, and betrayal are on full display as the plot thickens.

I‘ve done enough work on this wee Mary & Jesus ornament that you can sort of tell what it is! It‘ll be my aunt‘s Christmas present.

This #audiostitching season took me to about half an hour from the end of THE PATH OF DAGGERS. Much to my surprise, I mostly love the book this time through. The series‘ pace has slowed right down, but I‘m into everyone‘s storylines.

Bk5 of November & Bk3 of #NovelNovember #Readathon is done. The last few days have been a nightmare, worst flare I‘ve ever had has made me unable to even hold a book and I‘ve been trying to sleep through most of it. So I had to switch to an audiobook the past two days & finished the 8th book of the WOT instead. The Seanchan are in Ebou Dar, Rand has taken Illian & Elayne, Nynaeve & Aviendha are on their way to Caemlyn. #BookspinBingo👇

Still on the Path of Daggers.
Enjoying the second half of it together with some afternoon sun in Athens, Greece.
The tv series is starting soon and the fandom has been going crazy over on Twitter. I'm still on my first read of the series, but the die-hard fans' enthusiasm is infectious 😄

I can see why people who read this at the time it was published found it disappointing. This was very much a "set-up" book; all the different factions that were put into motion at the end of Book 7 spent Book 8 getting where they needed to go. If I had been waiting a year or two for this to come out- and knew I had a year or two until the next installment -I might have been underwhelmed. But since I have the advantage of reading the ?

Ethenielle had seen mountains lower than these misnamed Black Hills, great lopsided heaps of half-buried boulders, webbed with steep twisting passes.

Setting out on the Path of Daggers 🙂

2. I like that it's part of the WoT, and I'm invested enough in the series at this point that anything that advances the narrative is all right by me. What I don't like is that it's advancing very slowly, one of those books that seems to exist just to move pieces into position for the big homestretch a few books further out. Oh well, no pain, no gain!

Reread: More positioning and less blow-out battles in this one, but still excellent. A lot of Egwene's development, which I love, but a sad lack of Matt. 😞

I‘m particularly looking forward to seeing the Bowl of the Winds used in the show . If properly done, that should be gorgeous. Anyone else looking forward to anything specific?

Just finished this 8th book in the Wheel of Time series for #DashingDecember and #ProgressItDecember. @Andrew65

I enjoyed this book the least of the ones I've read so far. I felt like I spent most of the book waiting for something to happen and trying to sort out the hundreds of character. I'm continuing with the series because I'm told that the last ones written by Sanderson are much better.

I know this is the book where people start to complain about the plot slowing down, but i really enjoyed this one.

Shortest prologue ever - only 35 pages!

Here we go again. Starting book 8 of 14

I‘m still enjoying this world and it‘s characters. This installment feels a little slow and ends with some cliffhangers but I still had a good time reading. I look forward to the next one.

#BookReport
This week I managed to finish three books that I really enjoyed. I think my favorite was Sparrow Hill Road by Seanan McGuire. The other two were Space Unicorn Blues and The Girl in the Green Silk Gown.

#WeeklyForecast
My plans for next week include finishing The Path of Daggers and Five Unicorn Flush. After those I‘m planning on starting the second installment of Scalzi‘s Interdependency series and my #bookspin #doublespin book Spin.

Day 3 of the #GratefulReads photo challenge by @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and @OriginalCyn620

The fantasy genre has a lot of books #Over500Pages, but I‘m okay with that, since I love the intricate world-building found in series like “The Wheel of Time”. Unfortunately, there aren‘t any Funko Pops for the Wheel of Time characters yet, but these Princess Bride Funkos do kind of go with the series... Buttercup would make a glorious Aes Sedai! 👸🏼

The eighth entry in the Wheel of Time Series, this one was fairly evenly paced. Even though we didn‘t see Rand until ~300 pages in, I was really engrossed by what was happening with Elayne, Egwene and Perrin. When Rand appeared, it was mainly focused on him going to war. A good entry in the series, and I‘m looking forward to starting Winter‘s Heart, as there was a bit of a surprising cliffhanger at the end.

I got through this one in a hurry. I enjoyed PoD way more than ACoS. I didn‘t even really feel like this one was a slog. I enjoyed the character development and the pacing felt good. Onward to Winter‘s Heart!

“No plan of battle survives first contact”
I wonder what research he done here, as this is spot on 🎯 Every military I ever worked with understand this and prepare accordingly, but as it says there‘s only so much preparing you can do 🙌🏻 #fantasy #epicfantasy #BuddyreadWOT #wheeloftime

I tried ...... but missed the screen shot 🤦🏻‍♂️😱 but the result is the same. 30,000 , you people are the best that any social media has to offer. Good effort @Litsy and thanks everyone 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Yay, writing reviews of books I actually read recently? Number 8 in my WoT Reread felt like a built up to the rest of the series, with the pace slowly picking up. We see a continuation of Egwene‘s awesomeness, despite all the bickering Nyneave and Elayne finally reach their shared goal, Rand learns the hard way that he doesn‘t know everything and on top of all that we‘re left with quite a few cliffhangers…

I‘m really enjoying The Expanse 🚀 series but I need a little break so I decided to continue on in The Wheel of Time ⏳ #WheelOfTime #RobertJordan

#BookNerd 📚💙🤓

The fact that I finished this book is a personal victory! Not that it wasn‘t great, but between the possibility of having Chron‘s disease, (my colonoscopy and endoscopy are next week 😱)working my ass off, and not feeling like myself AT ALL, I‘m really proud of myself for finishing this! The story really picked up and now of course I have to start the next 💁🏼‍♀️
Littens, I have missed you!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

@Branwen and I are currently participating in one of the most epic buddy reads of all time, a buddy read of the entire Wheel of Time series! 😀 We‘re current on Book Eight, so we‘re more than halfway there! Only about 6,000 more pages to go! 😂📚

Just finished book 8 and I'll keep reading the wheel of Time.
I can't stop!
This one is amazing as the others but also is the one I liked least untill now.
Six books left and I already dread the day I'll finish it.

Lots of work has been going on and very little reading 😭 I have been occasionally getting to listen to my audiobook while making discs (which we X-ray for zircon, which is cool) but not as much as I‘d like. I miss Litsy!! 😭💜💜💜💜💜💜

Time to finally start this one!

Glad that this one was relatively short (under 700pages) because it is not one of my favorites. All buildup, little action. Still there are a lot of pieces moving into place and I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.

As good as the last 7! #MountTBRChallenge #theyearofthechunkster #LitsyAtoZ #LetterP

Up next is book 8 🤓📖
My #AprilTBR is to get thru as much of The Wheel of Time series as I can 😊 #Readingresolutions @Jess7

Bk8 of #TheWheelOfTimeXmasReread is done, this is the smallest book of the whole series, only just over 400pges I think. Not one of my favorites, it also is the first book that Cadsuane appears in & she is a hard character to like. I‘m only just over halfway through the series, with each book around 800pges long it‘s definitely time consuming, thank god. #painbegone #readingnotfeeling

One of my favorite quotes from my all-time favorite series. 💕

#fantasy #thewheeloftime #quotes #litsyquotejournal

"I would not mind you in my head," Lews Therin said, sounding almost sane, "if you were not so clearly mad."

So many unbelievable characters, dialogue is laughable, and plot drags and drags as if the publisher told the author to stretch a five book series into 14 books...Oh wait, that is what happened and it shows. I purchased the bulk of this series at one point and feel obligated to read them all, but it's so hard to keep going. Painful! #ReadingDilemma #ConvinceMeOtherwise
