I remember The Way Of Kings being recommended a lot! Are you enjoying the book? I picked up a heavy book too so the readathon can help me make some progress on it. Or else it's just me staring at the big book and avoiding it at all costs XD

I started off with two books I had already begun and have finished both.

I am using this read-a-thon to finish some books I am midway through - Overcoming Dyslexia, The Dyslexia Empowerment Plan and Fish In a Tree. My daughter was recognized as having dyslexia the end of last year - 3rd grade so I am coming up to speed and working on getting her to love listening to books. Which she does love.
