Dragon Reborn | 
pickMostly from Egwene, Mat and Perrin perspective, this book is the aftermath of a battle of the three growing up to the journey to Tear which I hear as Týr. Rand is in danger and his buddies aim to help him. I am really enjoying this book. I am about to crack the spine of book 4.
Mat, looking for his three friends from Tar Valon, walking right past where they‘re staying.
I like Zarine better than Faile but (chapter 43) she‘s starting to annoy me now.
pickBk6 of June is done! My battered 32yr old copy of the 3rd book of the WOT stood up to another reread, prob it‘s 20th(or so🤷🏻♀️).Rand has ditched Moiraine & Co & is on his way to Tear with them in pursuit.Mat has been cured of the dagger & with the help of Egwene,Nynaeve & Elayne,who are also now on the way to Tear, has escaped the White Tower. After finding out in Caemlyn the girls are in danger, he also heads to Tear. Cue big ending. In Tear.
“Pedron Niall‘s aged gaze wandered about his private audience chamber, but dark eyes hazed with thought saw nothing.”
🤣 Robert Jordan isn‘t great at opening lines, but once this one gets going it‘s harrowing! Looking forward to finishing it tonight - I sense the final showdown is imminent.

Plunged into DEMON COPPERHEAD last week, which is for April book club (but I have to read it now bc the library hold came in!) It is SO GOOD though, I‘m zipping through it.
Also read MALIBU RISING for my LA book club; a few more chapters of DRAGON REBORN, and listening to HITTING A STRAIGHT LICK in the car (I highly recommend the audio for the dialect!)
Plan to continue all of these this week except Malibu, which I finished!
I do love the beginnings in this series.
Beautiful day for some audio walking and outdoor reading! Yay fall!
pickThis book was very good and captivating! My only complaint was that so much time was spent leading up to the end...which ended rather abruptly and shortly! A little bit disappointing there.
pickBook 3 of Robert Jordan‘s The Wheel of Time epic fantasy saga. I‘m kind of astonished that I‘m still having a blast re-reading this series!
And finally, I‘m hoping to finish the tagged book today, as long as this distraction on four legs lets me! The hubby is away for the night so it‘s just her and me. Let‘s see how much reading and how much playing & feeding gets done. #AwesomeApril #readathon
pick55 hours and 2K+ pages later, I'm now done with the first three books of the Wheel of Time series. I liked this book a lot more than the second one, maybe because it had less Rand and more Moraine. On to book 4!
pickI don‘t know how I waited so long to read this series. What was I thinking?! It‘s so so so good! This one had so many new and interesting elements, and excellent character development! Can‘t wait to read the next one! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It‘s so cold here today, so I‘m huddled up in multiple blankets, reading and drinking hot cocoa. Not a bad Saturday after all. 🥰 #MugsOfLitsy
pickBest book of the series so far! Not a lot of Rand in it, but I was okay with it because he was also starting to annoy me. Loved that the women got some more “screen time.” My main favorite character is Verin (obviously), but I still love Perrin. I can‘t get over how much some people keep hating/distrusting others that have done nothing but help them (lookin at you, Nynaeve RE: Moiraine). Hopefully people continue to get smarter! 9.5/10

Book 3 complete! Enjoying the series so far, the plot is pulling me along. Starting to have some issues with the characters, but I am liking the adventures each team is going on. Will take a break before reading book 4.
I voted this morning, then took a loooooong walk with the last chunk of THE DRAGON REBORN. Revisiting the series has churned up so many memories of when I was a young WoT fan. Like, I keep thinking about how EVERY TIME Teenage Me met another fan, they were all, “Who‘s your fave? It‘s Perrin, right? Perrin‘s the best!” And I‘d feel bad, because I found Perrin kinda boring but I didn‘t want to SAY that to someone who loved him. So. 🤷♀️
I forgot to share all the vegetables I picked & dealt with while I listened to my audiobook yesterday afternoon! I‘ll be eating chard all through the winter, there‘s cherry tomato sauce on the horizon, and I‘ve got enough cucumbers to do pickles once I get more vinegar & dill. Hurray!
If y‘all have any other tips for freezable stuff I can make with cherry tomatoes, especially meals, let me know. They just keep on coming. #audiocooking
pickBk3 of September,Bk12 of #LittensDressedInBlood & Bk1 of #AnyWayYouReadathon is done! I‘m counting this as Bk1 coz even though I started it yesterday, I read at least 70% of it today. The third WOT book, it shows all the Emonds Fielders coming to terms with who they are. My goals for this #readathon is:
📚Read 3 books
⏱Read 20hrs
👽Read a #SciFiSeptember book
What are your weekend plans?
Finally received the wool I ordered weeks ago, bloody Auspost had an embargo on packages for a couple of days to help deal with the backlog they have(lockdown means online shopping for everything the last two months!)so I‘m #audioknitting to the 3rd in the WOT series. Hopefully I can finish this scarf for my son while it‘s still cold enough to wear it.
Conflict with #disability becomes a major issue for a main character in the Wheel of Time series (trying not to include spoilers!) after receiving a wound that won't seem to heal.

pickHaven't posted in a while, as I've been on a #julyjourneys of my own to Aruba (pics hopefully forthcoming), but it did give me a chance to finish book 3 of the WoT. A familiar pattern is emerging in how these books are structured- split the group into three parts, travel cross country, have adventures, and then reconvene for the climactic scene. The formula works, though. A minor quibble that each book seems to introduce a new enchanted object 👇

Pedron Niall's aged gaze wandered about his private audience chamber, but dark eyes hazed with thought saw nothing.
pickThis third book of The Wheel of Time focuses more on the supporting characters. We meet some new characters as the complexity of storyline increases. The pacing in this one was just right for the character development Jordan seemed to be striving for in this one. Some of the questions from the first two books remain unanswered, and more are raised as the scope of the plot expands. Looking forward to book #4!

pickI've been #audiostitching Pretty Little Dublin while listening to The Dragon Reborn.
This is my second time with book three. I'm rereading (listening this time around) them to refresh my memory so I can finally finish the series. I left off in the middle of book 6 several years ago. This one was probably my favorite so far. I am not fond of Rand, and I enjoyed that this one followed the other characters more.
pickOkay, this is my favorite one so far out of the 3 I have read. SO MUCH PERRIN!! I loved that we got to deal with his struggle more. The character development of Perrin and Mat was amazing. I am constantly sitting here going “I can‘t trust you new character” and I love that feeling. There is so much but it‘s all handled in such a careful manner that it‘s easy to follow along. And the end, ugh yes I need to read book four now. Ahh I love this .
SSSOOOOOO MUCH PERRIN!!!! YESSSSSSS!
Erhnmm excuse my outburst. I just started book 3 and 4 chapters in and the focus is still on my favorite character and I AM HERE FOR THIS! My audiobook is due back in 6 days (I got sidetracked playing Monster Hunter) but now knowing how much focus is on Perrin this go around I Have no worries about not finishing the audiobook in time haha.
pickWhile not as action-packed as the Great Hunt, this book still has a lot of epic-ness.
Rand is side-lined in this book, for good reason. In this book, we got a lot more Perrin and a LOT more Mat. This is basically Mat‘s book because of how much he steals the show.
There are some genuinely kickass plot lines and I feel like once the characters just let loose, it‘s going to become even more of a wild ride. Can‘t wait to start the next one!
pickI enjoyed this. I‘m enjoying seeing the variety of plots and POVs.
No spoilers or anything but does Rand ever become likable again? He‘s a bit of a (huge) jerk right now which is sorta understandable but I really miss his sweet personality.
so-soHard for me to decide between pick and so-so. I know tons of people love this series, and it‘s okay for me, I‘m not sorry I‘m reading it, but I‘m not loving it. It just doesn‘t grab me the way many other fantasy series do. So many characters, and Jordan is not portraying them in a way that makes me really care. I predicted the overall plot of this one and based on the first 3, I‘m pretty sure that I know what‘s coming in the next ones. 3.5⭐️ #2019
Another early start, another few chapters. 🤗 #fantasy #epicfantasy #buddyreadWOT
