Book 13 of 2023: Wheel of Time book 6

Just hurtled through the last 300 pages of Wheel of Time book 6 Lord of Chaos in just a day or so. Exciting stuff! Something big happened that I honestly expected to happen sooner. And a big dramatic ending. Looking forward to the rest of the series with 8 main books left to read. Relieved to have got past the recent splurge of 1000-page long novels in the series, which honestly felt like a bit much length wise in a 14-book series.

Current reading May 2023

Craving a short and fun read after the epic 1000+ page plus Wheel of Time book, and given I'm flaring neurologically, I've picked Stardust by Neil Gaiman for my next read. This is a reread for me. It's not my absolute favourite of his, but I really enjoy it. Made into a great film of course, but it was an illustrated storybook first. This also is the month's read for a book club run by a YouTuber I back on Patreon.

As well as that I’m nearly finished the graphic novel Messy Roots, am most way through Iain Banks’ whisky trip around Scotland, and am slowly reading the rather long Bowie on Bowie interview book.
