I read so much it is more or less my second job. I prefer audiobooks because I teach and trying to read the traditional way leads to unintentional naps and then sadness when I'm up too late and then up early again.

I'll put it this way. The collective wheel of time series stands about 460 hours in audiobook form. Round about 19 days. I binged it in less than two months, and then did it again this summer. I need a queue from reliable sources.

Notable things I've read and enjoyed (which is most things, really):

Gentleman Bastards, Scott Lynch

The First Law, Joe Abercrombie

Obviously Sanderson, though I didn't care so much for Mistborn.

Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan/Sanderson (current and crowned favorite)

Farseer books (all three trilogies), Robin Hobb

A Song of Ice and Fire, George R.R. Martin

Harry Potter, Rowling (proud Slytherin)

Tolkien's books, including the oddments, though I've yet to tackle Beren and Luthien.

Explicit sex and violence/gore don't bother me, and I rather enjoy a slew of foul language but still like stuff that doesn't have it. More into fantasy than sci-fi, and I'm not looking for your stereotypical dystopia, so don't you dare recommend A Handmaid's Tale. I need character driven fiction. I want flawed people to love and hate. Batman, not Superman. Magic is cool but not necessary.

Honestly, if you approve of the series above and have something unlisted you couldn't put down or stop reading/listening to, it'll probably end up on my list anyway. Like I said: I always need something to read. I have also been known to enjoy things others don't like, for stupid reasons, so just throw stuff out there. I'm thinking about Outlander but a reliable source is iffy on it.

SEND ME YOUR BOOKS, THE LONGER THE BETTER.

Are you going to read the sample chapters? (Almost everyone I've asked says yes, but there are a few brave souls waiting for release day.)

I don't know. I want to but I also wants to wait for full release so I don't spoil anything

ummm.... I was going to ask if that is even possible. However, imaging how I will feel after reading the preview chapters as compared to how I feel now... I know the cliff-hanger at the end will put me in a frantic state, unable to sleep, cold sweats, crying every day until the book is released.

True

I know that was a question for the OP, but I feel compelled to answer. Maybe not! I read everything in google books, and take notes as I go. Can't do that on the web page.

Oh, and @Thee Feonn I am curious about your answer as well.

I'll mite read some just to get myself more excited for the full book. Not that I am not really excited already.
