#CastleontheHill made me think of Revelstone, the fortress giants carved out of the Westron mountains. I tagged book one of the Final Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever because that‘s where this particular map first appears, but please note there are six books before this one! #WanderingJune

gradcat Love the name of this hero...Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever...so ancient sounding. 6y

I found The Runes of the Earth with the #coolcover (top R) that matches the rest of my set of The Last Chronicles! The original book 1 (bot L) is lovely, but the rest (& an unrelated book of novellas) had awesome cover art by John Jude Palencar. I figured it was too costly to buy a new copy just for the cover but I found it for $1.00 at the book sale last weekend! The 4 book series + The King's Justice = a pretty #fivestack #ReadingResolutions

Marmie7 😍 These are amazing! 7y
llwheeler I love John Jude Palencar's art so much!! Probably my favourite sff artist 7y

#Littens: if a book has a glossary, do you read it first, refer to it as needed, save it for the end, or skip it altogether? I read it every time; I don't feel like I've completed the book otherwise. With this series, I save it until the end because sometimes, there are #spoilers! I've read these books before, but I want to rediscover the story as I go. I've forgotten enough that it's almost like reading them for the first time. #BookishProblems

Christinak I'm with you on the waiting. Sometimes I refer as I read but most often I read it afterward and wish I referred to it as I was reading 😊 8y
MCYmermaid I vary; I often don't mind spoilers unless what I am reading has a significant puzzle element. 8y

Misty-eyed, I finished White Gold Wielder earlier this evening. I then spent some time thinking about the differences between the 1st trilogy & the 2nd before I started The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. I'm now 1600 pages away from starting the last book & I'm experiencing that odd state that I know Littens understand: wanting to devour these books, yet savour every last word, to put off reading the last page as long as possible. #EpicReread

andrew61 I read these ages ago and then put my 6 volumes on a table top sale! Its another book i regret losing as i have always wanted to reread as they were wonderful one although it would require a big commitment. 8y
TK-421 @andrew61 It is a big commitment (10 books, a total of over 5000 pages) but worth it, in my opinion. I've read the first 6 books about 4 times now, and the first 2 books of the Last Chronicles twice, I think. I bought the final book ages ago, but I didn't want to read it until I'd reread all the books. I'm glad that I waited; now I get to binge-read the series in its entirety! 8y

My afirst post on Litsy!! I know everyone is coming here from bookstagram (@for_theloveofbooks) but I'm only here to check it out, and I'm learning how to use it slowly!
So this book; 'The Runes of the Earth' by Stephen Donaldson is on my to read list this year, although it is a bit beefy and so I may not start it until the gap between receiving my GCSE results and returning to school for sixth form.
It sounds incredible though!!!
