I started a thread before but no one replied. I'm probably unreasonably excited but I read the first one when I was 15 so 14 years now.

You couldn't take her, even before she was knowingly doing magic she still had a big stick.

(yeah yeah, I know it's not called magic, but that's totally what it is)

I quite like having secondhand books, mixtures of hardback and paperback, different covers, etc. It shows the history of my time reading the series - when everything gets hardback and 'new-style' covers you know that's when my reading overtook the pace of writing :)

My old covers are up to about 9 I think. V cross-making. I have re-read once before. They're all packed up atm as we're moving house soon but might dig them out.

They keep changing the pb release date. I'm going to phone and ask. It was October last time I asked.

ALwys worth a re-read. It's a year since I finished my last re-read. It might keep you occupied until the PB version comes out. Do they have a release date for it yet.
THe covers thing is really annoying too. DH has all of the new covers, my Dad has the paperbacks with old covers up to about 9 I think, he then started reading ours when we'd finished with them.

I started a reread yesterday (running out of books here...) so I must have know it was coming. Fate. Pure and simple Grin

Arf, was just complaining on another thread about Nynaeve's braid tugging. I like Nynaeve. But I could probably take her.

ShowOfHands · 24/09/2010 11:04

Like posting on MN. Just one thread, maybe two, bang and the day is gone.

I might re-read all of them.

TrillianAstra · 24/09/2010 11:04

You wouldn't SoH, Nynaeve would string you up by your ears (while pulling on her bloody braid I expect).

I'll change mine to 'SoWouldI' hehe.
If he hadn't done the prequel/other bits he might have finished it.
Apparetnly it was only meant to be one book, then 2, then 3 and just grew and grew...

Oooooooh! Amazon taking preorders yet?

ShowOfHands · 24/09/2010 11:01

Stop it. I am still waiting for the current one in paperback. Desist. It was supposed to be October I think. I must ring the bookshop and query.

I might change my name in anticipation. What about 'LanIWould'. That's not too vulgar is it? I don't really care tbh.

I have a theory that RJ was stringing it out so he could come as close as possible to fulfilling the promise on the book jackets 'he intends to write until they nail his coffin shut'. He just miscalculated a bit.

No no! Trillian. IT's due out beginning of November and then book 14, which should finish it, is due out the november after.
I was overcome by excitement so failed to link correctly last time
He's a lot quicker than dear old RJ

That's nearly a book a year for you then!

When is it out? 'Sometime in 2011'?

Will 14 finish it?

mspotatochip · 24/09/2010 10:41
