  1. I'll be curious how it goes. I remember my older brother reading it like 23 years ago and regaling me with some really wild stuff, but I have never actually read it myself. So I would love any updates as to whether the wildness or quality hold up to my dim memories of my brother's retellings.
  2. I don't really know her reasons, but her situation does appear different from the outside to the famous examples. She published multiple books since the 2nd book in the trilogy, up to 2017, and even started and finished new series. But I am still waiting for the end to that trilogy.
  3. I've been waiting 22 years for a conclusion to a trilogy by Australian author Isobelle Carmody, so these wait times seem pretty light to me
  4. I opened that link and the first word out of my mouth was a very long "Ewwwww!"
  5. I just got delivered my copy of Under My Skin, the new omnibus of short stories and novellas by K. J Parker, so am salivating at the thought of cracking that one open. I creeped out one of my colleagues today by repeatedly referring to it as my "treasure".
  6. In my head I have a little conspiracy theory that GRRM, having been burnt by fans reactions to waiting between AFfC & ADwD, is wanting to have the entire series completed before even releasing TWoW. Totally no good reason for thinking this and probably plenty of reasons why it is a stupid idea. But it eases my waiting . Rothfuss, however, cannot be afforded the same grace by me, because his series is supposedly meant to be concluded by the next book. (My suspicion is that is part of the problem though, since I don't think he can gracefully or even functionally conclude what he set up in one book). My feelings on both series are basically that of some of the other board members (whom I might even call enlightened ). As soon as the forthcoming books come out (yes I am optimistic), I will want to buy them and read them, but I don't feel any emotional urgency on the matter until that point. I mean, come on, neither of them are Robin Hobb or K. J. Parker!
