Read the second one - The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan. Also read Tribes We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin, which I did not like as much.
Awesome timing for reading the Wheel of Time - I understand the last book is due out sometime this year.
Just finished Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. Apparently I am fantasy-heavy so far this year. That's fine with me. :)
Just read Queen of the Darkness Book 3 of the Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. Also read Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey.In some non-fantasy news, I also read Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison.
Total so far = 7 books.
I'm reading "Gilead" right now and find it beautifully written. I keep it to read when I'm waiting for kids so that I only read a few pages at a time and I'm liking it that way. Doing it that way makes it feel like a series of short stories that are all lovely and insightful.
Lisa, I agree with you. I believe that Gilead, while it could not be described as "gripping", was definitely beautifully written and a compelling tale. It inspired many rambling discussions regarding the meaning of family and religion and secrets and love and parenthood. All in all a great book.
Lately I've read the following:Katherine by Anya Seton
Mistborn The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
So, I'm officially at 10 books. If I keep reading at this pace, I should be fine.
Just finished The Crown Conspiracy by Michael J. Sullivan. It was my first Goodreads' author book and I definitely enjoyed it. Will be looking for the rest of the series.
Lately I've read The Winter King A Novel of Arthur by Bernard Cornwell
The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson
Kushiel's Chosen by Jacqueline Carey
Total of 15 books so far.
