So, I’ve sort of been a reading mess lately. I’ve been reading The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater forever (because it’s in print and turns out I don’t have time to read print brooks.) My Classic Book a Month resolution died in the face of The Wheel of Time series, and I’ve done nothing but listen to those books, take care of the kiddos and fight with the sequel to my own book.
The Wheel of Time is a 14 book, 400+ hour on audio epic fantasy series that I’ve been planning to finish since I realized I simply didn’t have the time to re-read the entire series each time a new book came out but couldn’t keep track of what was happening unless I did. Like many others, I decided to just read the whole series again when the final book was published. That happened last January, after the death of the author, with a new writer (who blows it out of the park, btw).
I’m trying to do NaNo this month (50K words on my new book in a month.) So what I’m saying is that all my reading will be audio books. And those will start with the end of the Wheel of Time Series.
I plan on reading:
Towers of Midnight by Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan
A Memory of Light by Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan
Dracula by Bram Stoker (my classic book goal for October which didn’t happen)
Dorthy and the Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher
The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card
and another as yet un-selected classic novel
Happy reading my friends and wish my luck on NaNo!
