Yes, I think it definitely is!! I'm super excited to start The Dragon Reborn, but I think I will hold off until after JCon. I got tackle a few other books in my TBR pile...
I like this plan, my goal is to finish TGH by JCon and start TDR after the con as well!I'm super excited to start The Dragon Reborn, but I think I will hold off until after JCon.
I really wish I could do audiobooks in situations other than on road trips, because I'm the same way...I have to really force myself to slow down and take in the details.Anyway - I noticed for the first time how beautiful these books are. I speed read when I read, so while I don't miss words, I guess I miss... Craft? Or something? At any rate, the reading by Rosamund Pike is glorious and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Yeah, I'm much the same way. I enjoy it but I can't listen and do anything that isn't autopilot. I'd just drop 50 million stitches or lose track of the book if I tried to knit.I really wish I could do audiobooks in situations other than on road trips, because I'm the same way...I have to really force myself to slow down and take in the details.

I’m on Winter’s Heart, and am also drawing items that represent characters. For Juilin’s Taraboner Hat, what kind is it? Is it a fez, a Pacific Northwest Native American style weaved hat, a bamboo hat, or something else? I know that it’s conical and called “ridiculous”, but that’s it, other than it might be red?
I've always imagined it as a fez personally.I’m on Winter’s Heart, and am also drawing items that represent characters. For Juilin’s Taraboner Hat, what kind is it?

It was sort of one of those things that got eventually ret-conned, I think.I finished The Great Hunt!
One thing that made me think this time. After Mat blows the Horn, the heroes pretty much ignore him and say "We have come to the Horn, but we must follow the banner. And the Dragon." So what was all that about the heroes fighting for the dark side if the wrong person blew the Horn? 🤔
Yes, in a memory of light, Artur pendraeg or hawking corrects Mat on that pointIt was sort of one of those things that got eventually ret-conned, I think.
