I am having a really tough time getting through the Wheel of Time at this point. On Book 10. For some reason which I can't figure, it's just gotten really long and boring to me. It is a SLOG getting through it. I'm pushing onwards to try to get through it though.

Yeah... That one is the worst in the series... You could almost skip it entirely because it felt like nothing of consequence happens until the last chapter. It does at least get a lot better with the next book.

I'm in the middle of A Blight of Blackwings (Seven Kennings). It's book 2 in the series and its not really holding my interest at the moment. (I suspect I might have to re-read book 1 because its been a while). As I recall the first book took a while to get going as well, so will stick at it.
 

Finished The Fellowship of The Ring's re-read. I find myself growing more and more enamored of the sections not adapted in the movies, like Tom Bombadil and the Barrow Wights.

Now it's Conan the Freebooter, by R.E. Howard with L. Sprague DeCamp. I figure being stuck at home is a good time to read it, as the cover would be something I'm not sure I'd be comfortable seen reading on the bus.

Just finished book 4 of the Runelords series. Like I said, big fan of the rune magic system.....I also really appreciated how book 4 ended. Not everyone will....

I think I'm going to re-read the Black Company next. Or maybe Elric.....I'm pretty mentally involved in trying to start a YouTube series and figuring out how to edit video, so I think a re-read is probably better for me right now than a new book. Plus, Elric is just easy to read.....

I really enjoyed that series. The magic system is definitely quite nifty. Its a shame book 9 (the conclusion) has been so delayed. David Farland is apparently still working on it, but his first draft has been sat at 50% for a long time.


Still reading A Blight of Blackwings (Seven Kennings) - its picking up, but it swaps between so many (first-person) view points that I'm kinda struggling to keep them all straight in my head. I <will> finish...!

I'm now 100 pages into the latest Kathryn Dance novel, Solitude Creek by Jeffery Deaver. After this one, I'll have to take a break from Deaver for awhile as it's the last unread book of his I own. But this one has the lead character investigating a psycho who uses artificially-induced crowd panic to kill. I'm not sure of his motives yet but it's been typically a good read.

Tough call. They're both good, but Elric probably would get my vote, depending on which it's been longer since you've last read.

nine? ugh. I'm really liking physical copies so much more than ebooks right now.....and I can't go buy more...so that will have to wait. Books 5-8 pretty much the same quality? Tell me the story is different.....at least enough I will care to read it.
