I haven't been paying attention, didn't realize Peace Talks was out. Was going to say I picked a bad time to start a WoT reread, but I just went to the library website and put a hold on Peace Talks - I'm number 30 in line; though they do have 5 copies going around, so that should help.
Iarwainiel I she/her Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Beginning my Stormlight reread today. Hoping to relish it, not rush ... like that's gonna happen. I've made printouts of all the chapter epigraphs from TWoK and WoR, so I need to add the epigraphs from OB to that document. Reorganizing & analyzing the epigraphs has yielded some interesting ideas... Such fun!
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 So, I read Life As We Knew It, by Susan Beth Pfeffer, and it's really good. It's a story written in diary format about a family living through an asteroid knocking the Moon into a closer orbit. Seriously, it's really good. (If anyone's read it already, what did you think?)

All at once? :-O I'm up to Ghost Story. Slow reader. I expect I will probably have finished Peace Talks by the time Battle Ground comes out XD Then it's time for my stormlight re-read to resume!
aneonfoxtribute Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 More Wheel of Time thoughts. Just finished chapter 36. Spoiler So first note, Rand got a mind sword, so that's need. Then he ran at full speed down the slippery slope by straight up murdering a merchant and a bunch of guards just on the off chance they might be evil, not even any real reason for suspicion other than coming across them. So uh. Our hero, ladies and gentlemen?

Emi she/her Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 I’m starting The Reckoners today. As it’s Sanderson I’m sure it’ll be amazing! 1

BreezeCauthon he/him Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Reading Shadows of Self and A Tale of Two Cities right now. Re-reading North! Or Be Eaten as well.
aneonfoxtribute Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 Something occurs to me. On chapter 40 of Dragon Reborn and Spoiler there has not been one full chapter that is a Rand POV. All of his POV's have been a couple of paragraphs at the end of a chapter to mark a shift from Perrin POVs to Mat/Egwene or vice versa.

I’m almost finished with Peace Talks then I ll get back to mostly reading Morning Star as my main read while still chipping away at the other books I’ve mentioned.
aneonfoxtribute Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 Oh right, on the topic of Dresden, I finished the audio book of Summer Knight last week.
aneonfoxtribute Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Was Brandon inspired by the Forsaken when he came up with the Unmade? I'm getting kind of similar vibes despite their differences
Briar King Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Finished Peace Talks. While some cool stuff goes down this book is one of my least favorites of the series and I really see no reason other then a cash grab after Butchers long hiatus that this needed to be its own book rather then giving it with Battleground in September. 335 pgs wasn’t going to mess up today’s book binding capabilities. I would strongly recommend to just wait and read this closer to or once Battleground gets here.
aneonfoxtribute Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Once again on the topic of Dresden. Tomorrow I start Death Masks.
aneonfoxtribute Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 I am most excited for the apparent return of Johnny Marcone. He hasn't been in a book since Fool Moon and the book description talks about a mob boss so most assuredly him.
NameIess Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 I have recently read The Eye of The World. It was good, and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the Wheel of time series.
aneonfoxtribute Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 Finished The Dragon Reborn. Spoiler Must say I am disappointed in the Forsaken so far. The first three we are told are Forsaken die not long after their introduction and I'm not a fan of Selene yet (who I am positive is Lanfear)

aneonfoxtribute Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 Oh quick question about Dragon Reborn. Spoiler They said at the end that Ba'alzamon could have actually been one of the Forsaken. Is that meant to be an actual reveal, or is that discussed in later books and eventually confirmed or denied?
