The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan is the first book in the fantasy series The Wheel of Time. The series has 14 books. You could have found that out by googling it but I need to keep it here for me and for this project. It is a fantasy- imagine more Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. Everyone knows about the fantasy genre. Unlike the other two fantasy book series I mentioned this one has yet to be made into a movie or mini series. But look what I came across.....
Well this video is over a year old now and there is no release date to be seen so I wouldn't hold my breathe, but I do enjoy fantasy in visual form better than the written form because my imagination is a little on the weak side. While I won't judge it right away it is not likely I will get very excited about this particular book/series but I have been surprised before. I have a feeling my husband has read some of the books in the middle of the series and didn't particularly care for them.
Library Copy
Maps- sure sign of fantasy
Sorry, I do not have much to say on this book today. I am very tired and not use to waking up so early. I am looking forward to fall weather and coziness and actually getting to finish a book- only one more to go!
I just finished reading The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner. I really liked it and I would like to share some of my thoughts on it. This book revolves around a wide variety of characters who share a love for Jane Austen's work. We have Adam, the farm worker, Adeline, the widowed former school teacher, the doctor of the town, Dr. Gray, Evie, a teenager who works in the "Great House", Mimi, the famous American actress and her friend Yardley who works as an auctioneer, Andrew, the solicitor, and Miss Frances Knight, a descended of Jane Austen and keeper of the "Great House". They join together after World War II to save Jane Austen's legacy. My favorite character was probably Evie. She has so much drive and determination. She is wise beyond her years. She starts a project and sees it through. Even though I rarely finish my projects I still saw myself in her the most because of her drive to even start...
Announcing the theme for 2020! Jane Austen! I wasn't sure when I was going to do this but I have wanted to do a Jane Austen year ever since I learned we share a birthday! I found a friend willing to buddy read with me so I moved this goal to 2020. I don't know if I can TOTALLY dedicate all my reading to Jane Austen and Jane Austen inspired books just because I love so many other books and because of what is available on Libby (the library app) but I promise to keep it as close as possible. We will be reading at least 2 books a month either inspired by or retellings of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice . Here is what we will be reading in January. I am so excited for this year!
