Hello Corinne! :welcome

So nice to have you on the site! If you need anything you can leave a message on my profile page or send me a private message.

I too have gotten myself lost in the library here - there's such a wealth of information!

Are you a big reader in general?

I see Cris Ortega everywhere!!

Eliza, yes I like to read a lot. All kinds of different things. I actually haven’t read a ton outside of WoT as far as fantasy goes other than LoTR, Harry Potter, and now some Brandon Sanderson books.

I am not letting myself read anything else until I finish WoT though! I finished the prologue of CoT last night... finally!!

I decided to do a re-read too. After starting the last book, then not remembering who people were or what had happened.

I finally finished the last book yesterday! :laugh:

Now I'm on for my annual re-read of TLotR and HP over Christmas :D

I can't wait to get stuck into some new books next year too! I've been stuck on fantasy for a long time so I really want to try some other genre's, especially Sci-fi and Crime as I enjoy watching those genre's I can't see why I wouldn't enjoy reading them.

Saying that, there is a HUGE part of me that wants to RUN back to the beginning and forget The End ever came. . . :look:

I just started Crossroads of Twilight and ugh !
I feel the same way, getting through books 9 and 10 is always a killer for me. I had been doing a re-read last year and got stuck there as well, and am sad to say I haven't picked it back up yet. Maybe that'll be my New Year's resolution, finish my re-read.

I don't think I can answer everyone's welcomes so I'll just say hi to you all!
Yeah, that's basically the way to go or else you'll end up spamming your own welcome thread. :P

I have a full size print of it at home.
I have one of mine as well, although I was using it as an avatar first and then chose to buy the print. Well, I actually asked for it for Christmas or my birthday or something, but totally the same thing. :look:

Eliza you can read all of that just over Christmas break?? Wow, I wish I had that kind of time! :laugh:

Elania Sedai, this is probably my 3rd attempt to do a complete re-read leading up to the final book. I'm determined not to get stuck this time! And I really don't want to read the last book not having done a reread first. I'm weird like that!

Hi Naedys Sedai!

:look: yeeess. . . So I have the great luxury currently of living with my parents so besides the bit of house work I do to help out and the one evening a week I have to cook my own evening meal, my time is completely my own! That plus all my friends live away from me and we don't live close to the nearest town, and I don't drive, means distractions are minimal and I get to read allot. This does include my 2 hour per day commute to work and back, listening to audio for the next two weeks :pleased-1:

That's amazing! That you have that much time to read I mean :) I have today off work so I'm trying to make a dent in CoT. My goal for the day is 100 pages. If I go 100 pages at a time it seems more manageable. That's Chapters 1-6 and I'm almost finished with Chapter 1. So I think that's doable for the day and will give me time to get a few things done around here. Just being in this forum is helping to motivate me!

Hi Corinne, and welcome! I saw you posting elsewhere and wondered who you were, so I ventured out of my usual haunts to say hi :)


And also, welcome to the Cris Ortega fan club! :D

Hi Avery Sedai! I love love love your avatar! It would have been one of my choices except when I was growing users I noticed you had it already. It's beautiful!
