Some new books

[Starman]

And finally, I've just been informed that book 11 of the Wheel of Time comes out in January, and book 12 is supposed to be the end. Since I haven't read books 9 or 10 yet, I'm considerably behind. [sigh] I have no hope of catching up.

Actually, the book coming out in January is not the next book in the series. Jordan wrote a novella called New Spring for the Legends anthology a few years back. It takes place in RandLand, but it is about 20 years before the start of the first book. Well, he said he had to cut out a bunch of stuff he wrote to make it fit. He has gone back and added what was cut (and more) to make the novella a full-fledged novel which will still be called New Spring, I believe. Yes, that means that the next book is still a very long time away.
