So, I made the mistake of picking up those vampire books by Barbra Hambly (Ah, Those Who Hunt the Night and Traveling with the Dead .) Don't take me wrong. I love these books. Don Simon Ysidro is one of the best characterizations of a vampire I have ever read. And the author does a really nice job of creating explanations for both a vampire's strengths and weaknesses. And you know, it made sense to read them, coming out of Halloween weekend and all.
But...
The newest Wheel of Time book finally arrived! I wondered for a long time about book twelve, with the origional author (Robert Jordan) having passed away in 2007. But the drafted a ghost writer, and now the series that has taken me for years will be completed! Not, in this book, I guess, but with in this and two more books. So, book twelve (The Gathering Storm) is now out... co-written (read: ghost writer) Brandon Sanderson. I bought it, all 760+ ages of it's hardcover glory.
Now I have to wait to read it until I finish TwtD. Heh. And my friend from Florida continues to taunt me by telling me juicy tidbits as she reads the book! Dang...
Back to reading so I can get INTO what I really want ^_^
