I took a considerable length of time off for school purposes, but now that I am graduated I decided to jump back in! I missed everyone too much. What did I miss? Anything I should be aware of?
I have been doing a pretty intense re-read, and just started aMoL again last night. After reading through the Tower of Ghenjei scenes, I started thinking about how many similarities there are between Ael/Eelfinn and Myrddraal. There was one scene where one of the Forsaken is discussing how even...
Just finished And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini. Absolutely amazing. I just started a Stephen King compilation including Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, since Shawshank is my favorite movie :D
My IRL middle name is Anne, after Anne of Green Gables !!!!! She's my total favorite ever. As a sidenote.
My current most inspirational book is Unbroken. Zamperini's accomplishments are honestly mindboggling.
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lavatreeeee!
Also, hooray for Canada!!!!!!! I have family in Canada-adjacent (super super northy NY)
That is an excellent location.

-And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
-Seabiscuit by Lauren Hillenbrand
* I was SO excited to find these two, those are some of my current favorite authors.
- A New Green History of the...
I have always gotten that "Tolkien-esque" vibe from the descriptive overload. It's one of the things I love so much about the books. If I am using books as an escape (which I often do), the descriptions really help. It creates such a vibrant world to slip into.
I do appreciate how he doesn't...
That would totally make sense! Assuming Egwene's plan to exchange women with the Aiel works out. Which I assume it will (That's a lot of assumptions :x )
I think Nynaeve definitely changed the way Aes Sedai work forever. Especially regarding the whole calmness thing. I think she is basically a...
I wonder if they raised any more Accepted with the ter'angreal? Or did she break it forever? That would REALLY throw a wrench in the works for the Tower :o
It's such a messy situation. I am glad she passed, I think she raised a lot of good points about "calmness for calmness' sake", which always seemed a bit odd to me. I love her headstrong approach to the situation. I was always curious if she had been not pre-raised, and they cast her out, if she...
Would you have raised or denied Nynaeve during her testing to become Aes Sedai? Based solely on her performance, if you were one of the Sisters working with the ter'angreal? I honestly don't know if I would have. Probably but ........... I don't know :lol :o
