🏅Top Shelf Tuesday 🏅

Happy Tuesday everyone and May the 4th be with you!

This week’s pick is:

The Dragon Reborn
The Wheel of Time Book 3
by Robert Jordan
Paperback
Published by Tor Books, September 2002

This one is another that is pulling deep from the old brain box. I can’t exactly remember when I read it but I think within a couple years of the publication date. I do remember getting caught up and having to wait for the next book to come out. Oh the wait!
This was the book where the series REALLY kicked off. The band of friends that had been together from the beginning has been split up and the plot follows their separate journeys. I don’t want to get into too many details as this this book 3.
It is reminiscent of Lord of the Rings but without the period style writing. I love Tolkien but Jordan brings it to a whole new level.

I also lost my copy moving across country 15 years ago so I have been on the look out when I visit any book stores.

“The leader long prophesied who will save the world, but in the saving destroy it; the savior who will run mad and kill all those dearest to him—is on the run from his destiny.”

C is for….

C is for …. Cross, Alex Cross.

“C” is definitely full of Cross titles as expected, taking out all my James Patterson’s there is still Crossroads of Twighlight and Cross Bones. 

Speaking of Crossroads of Twightlight, I 💗 the Wheel of Time series!  For anyone who is a fan of Fantasy books like Game of Thrones, I highly recommend this series by Robert Jordan.  I read it about 15 years ago.  I instantly fell in love with them and just could not get enough.  Just binge read one after the other.  I was devastated when Robert Jordan passed away, what a great loss for the literary world.  The series was finished by Brandon Sanderson.   When Jordan realized that he was not going to beat his illness and may not be able to finish on his own, he brought Sanderson into the fold as well as left copious notes so he would be able to finish the series as intended.  I will be honest, I have been too chicken to finish it.  I know that one of these days I need to put my fear behind me and just do it. 

Do you have a series that you are afraid to finish?
