I think many of you know the feeling of being in a reader's slumber: you both want to read but whatever you are reading right now just isn't cutting it. This was my case for the past months: while I absolutely loved reading The Karamazov Brothers, I barely made any progress due to it being quite a dense book and me being...
I'm actually making progress on a book that I haven't touched for months, which feels quite nice.
I'm moving some of my higher-quality posts over from Reddit. This post was originally made on /r/wot, and as there doesn't appear to be a dedicated Wheel of Time or fantasy magazine yet, I am posting here....

What book is currently on your nightstand?...
Are there any books that you've read, and like, but when you step back and think about the book you're surprised you like it?...

Just finished reading this - it's an amazing story about an unsuccessful author who plagarises her dead friend's work and how things spiral out of control from there......

This is a post I originally made on the /r/wot subreddit. Figured I would start moving over some of my high effort posts to the fediverse. There doesn't appear to be a big fantasy or Wheel of Time community yet so I thought I would post here...
