Back to the fold

Sorry, been a while... I have been so caught up with reading lately.
Funnily enough, this post deals with my current reading - Wheel of Time series. Now, those of you in the know, it's 11 published books with no 12 due to be a three-parter starting later this year.
Lots to read then.
I used to have all the books but I gave them away to someone more needy - obviously I regret it now that I have to buy them all over again!
I read no 10 when it came out - 6 years ago now, never read no 11 yet and it must be more than 15 years since I last read the early books in the series...
Annywayyy...
Just finished the first one, and have been following Leigh Butler's brilliant re-read blog over at Tor.com (http://www.tor.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=blog&id=13372)- currently on book 4 there so I'm ITCHING to get back into it properly! I just have to figure out how to smuggle in a further 10 books without the husband noticing (I'm on a strict diet when it comes to books - no more than 3 a month; although I have doubled that already in two weeks into April!)...

Also reading the new series from Russell Kirkpatrick, interesting so far, especially nice is how Stella is a main character in this series, which ties it very smoothly to the previous series.

Not doing so good with my eating lately, been awfully naughty and had crisps for lunch nearly every day this week! Very bad.

What else... yeah, caught up with Sophi_e over the weekend, which was lovely - will be nice to see her properly over the summer. :)


Oh and I was so happy about The Wire being on BBC2, thought 'yeah, finally get to watch it all!'. Went away for 4 days, dutifully set the Sky+ to record it all while I'm away and bam - the whole shebang goes bust. So in order to reset the system to be able to watch TV again, we had to wipe the whole entire memory. Fucking brilliant yes. Well done Sky.
