Welcome to Litsy!

I'm halfway through this now and man oh man am I ever happy I decided to re-read this series! There is soooo so much that I have forgotten since it was originally published and, to be honest, it really almost feels like a first time. 🤗

The richness and depth of the world Jordan has created here is mind boggling! It truly is, IMO, the gateway for modern fantasy fiction. 🤘

Rereading this series is bringing back so many memories, and I notice a change in what I'm interested in. This time I really appreciate Nynaeve a lot more. It does help that she is a lot less annoying in this book, but she is the one keeping everyone together and moving forward! On to the next one, the wheel weaves as the wheel wills.

The last 100 or so pages had me glued to my seat - the first 100 not so much. While the world building is excellent, I don‘t feel that Jordan does enough to invest me in his characters. There are so many of them, and none of them ever seem in any real danger, which is what usually invests me in a fantasy character. “The wheel weaves as the wheel wills” doesn‘t seem to allow the characters much free will. 3.5/5.0 ⭐️ #2019

1️⃣ The Great Hunt, David Copperfield, and Melmoth and I feel like I‘ve been reading them forever! 2️⃣ 😜. 3️⃣ 😻🤣💕. #weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

I think this is the longest in recent memory that I‘ve gone without finishing a book - 9 days. Of course, I‘ve been super busy, but I still have quite a bit to go on the 2 books I‘m actively reading. 😔 I had planned to read 14 books this month on my way to 175 for the year, but I don‘t think that‘s happening now. Oh, well. I guess I‘ll just have to read super fast the rest of the year!😂

Got the house to myself, beer in the fridge, pizza on the way and this beautiful chunkster. Happy Friday, Littens! 🥳

Onto book two. 🤩

Reading the 2nd book from Robert Jordan‘s The Wheel of Time Series, which was a selection on PBS‘ Great American Read. First book was OK, but this one has been a little hard to get into. A 650+page book and the action doesn‘t start until page 105. The first 50+ pages are the hero of the series trying to hide from the Aes Sedai in a castle and making his friends mad in order to protect them.

Finished book two in my wheel of time reread! I can hardly believe all the things I don't remember about these books!

Moved the books into the library today. Just used the shelves we had but plan on building custom shelves for the room! I'm on book two, The Great Hunt, in my reread of the wheel of time series, any one else a fan of this series?

Yay! I actually managed to finish the second WoT book before the end of February. Back on track with my reread! I raced through this book, just like I remember doing the first time. Some critics of the series mention that there‘s too much detail, or even superfluous detail in the books, making the pace slow... So far, I can‘t say I agree. Yes, there are lots of details, but they help us get to know the main characters.

I struggled a bit at the beginning but it picked up about half way through. I am ready for book 3!

I love the storyline but how females and males treat each other grates on my nerves a bit. It's not enough to keep me from reading but still 😒

I told the kids to clean their rooms so now I have 10 loads of laundry to do. #audiofolding

A lot of potential to the breadth of this story... But the dialogues were a bit clunky

I don't normally listen to audio books, but I started reading this book last night and had a 4 hour drive today to my parent's house. Rather than not read all day, I figured I might as well listen to a few chapters while I drove. It was a good decision; it made the drive much more enjoyable.

Excited to start book two! One of my first reactions in the first few chapters was to roll my eyes at Rand for being such a “Harry Potter”. 😂

Rand is annoying the crap out of me! He‘s so whiny and it‘s all glaringly obvious that he is who he is. I am loving the parts about the women tho!

5 out of 5 stars!

Book 2 of the epic Wheel of Time buddy read with @Branwen

Everything I liked in the first book was done even better in this one. It opens with a mysterious and captivating meeting that left me needing to know more, and ends with one of the most exciting and climactic battles I‘ve ever read. Plus, so much more of the world is built in this volume. One of my favorite books in the series so far!

Current TBR. #chunksters Hopefully I‘ll finish these in a timely fashion. But School starts Monday, and hopefully I‘ll be subbing a lot and participating in a reading program at the boys school. I don‘t know much about it, but I think it will be reading to a child a few times a month. That, I can do.

I love this series.

Enjoying some of my jam from yesterday and reading a chapter or two of this never ending book! Lol!

Trying to read my chapter and have a snack but this fool won't leave me be!!

Poor Pippen is too tires to care about being a prop! Hehe! I'm still chugging along on this book! It's not that I don't enjoy it, it just seems progress is slow.

Gibby and I are doing a bit of reading before we start our day. Trying to stick with my resolution to only read print books during the day. I'm going to start my husband's family recipe for beer salami today! What are you guys up to?

Can I read 230 pages in one evening? Let's find out 😁 I do want to know how things will play out, so lets get to it.

Let the late evening reading begin. I haven't had the chance lately to read for long stretches at a time, so I'll enjoy this 😁

Just chilling out for a bit until my son is done with a talk. Then off to the Kurt Vonnegut museum/library!!!

Leaving tomorrow for a small road trip. Packing the essentials first!

Making progress, I‘m loving all of these right now and wish I had more hours in the day for reading, especially those #chunksters #currentlyreading

The Wheel of Time 2/14: I've just finished "The eye of the world" and can't wait for the story to continue. All the pieces were very nicely set up in volume 1 and now the adventure can truly begin. #wheeloftime

Progress...

#currentlyreading

Book two of The Wheel of Time reread. So interesting how different the time line is from the way I remembered it. What I did remember correctly is how great this series is.

*chills* On to book two in the Wheel of Time!

I never do these but when @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks asks...

1. Reading a physical copy of the tagged book, Educated on audio and Chaser by Kylie Scott as an ebook.
2. The Wicked Deep, The Makioka Sisters, The Lightkeepers are the first that come to mind
3. I will read almost anything. I do love romance, fantasy, and historical fiction a lot so if forced to choose those three would work.
4. Just books
5. @AmandaL

This was amazing.

Finally at 82% 😄 Hoping to finish this tonight!!

I've decided to join in on the awesome fun of the #mountTBRreadathon 🎊
The Wheel of Time series has been on my massive TBR list for so long. Pushing myself like hell to finish this door-stopper and start the third book this weekend! Doing a couple of face masks while taking a bubble bath to get the party started! 🛁✨

*Britney Spears' 'Oops I Did It Again' plays in the background*

I was having some trouble reading the mass market paperback copy again, so I bought the book on Kindle 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe I should get my eyes checked.... Or maybe I should just not buy anymore mmps 🤔

On to the next in this already-amazing series!! #wheeloftime ✨

Take 2 of #24in48 after previously thinking it was scheduled for last weekend 😂

I'm starting off with continuing The Great Hunt which I should finish today.

@24in48

Relaxation time, with Elderberry and Echinacea Tea

Lunch is always better with a glass of wine and a good book.

Lunch break, still feeling unwell since yesterday. Hopefully a timeout and a read will make me feel better.

Meh

5/5

@TricksyTails these are the cover changes. I have most of the series in the middle one except for The Great Hunt and The Shadow Rising that I have in the bottom cover.

Continuing The Great Hunt on this cold snowy Wednesday, I'm hoping to read 100 pages plus a day.
