Michael Kramer's Loial voice is the best! A very huggable voice. 🤩🤩🤩🤩 #WoTSkies #firstTimeReader #Booksky

I started "The Book of Delights" with no context. Ross Gay immediately launches into a vibrant essay detailing the delights of his birthday and I, with eyes beaming in half moons and nose scrunched in connected glee, proclaimed to myself with absolute certainty, "A fellow Leo!"

My reading list for this month. "The Girl with the Golden Parasol" and "The Book of Delights" are for Sep book clubs. "Like Water for Chocolate" is for early Oct.

For leisure: at Book 6 "Lord of Chaos" of WoT and hoping to start "Black Feminist Thought."

Wish me perseverance!

Kate Reading has a twang to her voice that I need to get used to. Michael Kramer sounds more neutral. The speech patterns and pacing are geared for a different generation and I have to reconcile it with how I absorb literature. None of it is bad, just different.

How are you liking them?

I'm going to miss Rosamund's Loial voice!!! 😻

Onward to book 5. I'm driven forward by curiosity and am fully invested. I know I am going to miss the pace, warmth, and animation of Rosamund Pike's narration but I do not dislike these narrators so far. My goal is to read all 15 before year's end. Wish me luck!

Book 4 - ok I think the 'hits you because likes you' thing isn't my jam but Faile was certainly redeemed as I read further. 🌸 I am really enjoying reading this series! #firstTimeReader #WoTSkies #WotBookSpoilers

As for the political leanings, it certainly made a statement. I always think we could always be more obvious, more intentional, more subversive in popular media. Hollywood can be a useful platform. I admire when it is used well.

I appreciated that they showed more masculine vulnerability. I thought it could have shown better gender representation beyond the binary. I didn't catch a whiff of racial aggression coding which was my main criticism for Suicide Squad. I was impressed and excited for more of Gunn's DC universe!

John Wic---- I mean #Superman, was a delight! A cute nod to millennials. Watching it in 3D IMAX at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle was an enjoyable sensory immersion. I highly recommend it!

Yes! I liked her in the show! We need it to continue. It's such a great story and the show set up some profound relationships. I hope we can #SaveWot !!!

Book 4 - I'm not a fan of how Faile treats Perrin in the books. It's not cute, it's cruel and abusive at this point. She's very nearly irredeemable as a character. I hope I'm not looking forward to Perrin segments just to read about her hitting him. #WotSkies #WotBookSpoilers #FirstTimeReader

I'm so excited! 😻

Dang y'all, it is getting REAL. After this book I start the portion of the story that I know pretty much nothing about. I am so very deeply invested in these characters! Perrin and Loial are my favorite!

Starting "The Dragon Reborn," book three of Wheel of Time and feeling grateful for the casting choices of the television show.

Onward to the second book! Rosamund Pike's narration is done so well, I decided to stick with the audiobook. #WoTskies #fiction #booksky

Forget hot girl summer, I'm embarking upon my Aes Sedai season! I have finally started Wheel of Time. ^_^ I'm alternating audiobook and text reading for this endeavor.

Listening to Rosamund Pike's narration is a sensory treat! ❤️ #WoTSkies #BookSky

There is a version of the first four books of The Wheel of Time audiobooks narrated by Rosamund Pike! Very cool! I read via text and audio so I have both versions of the first book to start me off once I finish The Inheritance Cycle. #WoTskies #booksky #audiobooks

This is what I'm hearing from my personal connections. I am planning to test the waters with the first book soon and I will see how it goes.

That's a good thing to consider. I'm at the last available season so I think I'll be able to at least start the series while waiting for the next one. I'm currently finishing up Inheritance Cycle and I still have two more books to go on that so the timing should align. ^_^

Between the warm #WotSkies community welcome and the way the show is unfolding, I am convinced this is the right answer! ^_^

I don't mind spoilers but I will be mindful to use the tag when I discuss it here. I appreciate you for letting me know about it!

Oooh!!! This looks great! Thank you!

Thank you!!! 🌹

I'm in my adult dragon era. This image is from the Wheel of Time show. Egwene is my favorite right now, at the end of season 2. I've been thinking about possibly reading the series. It would be my first time doing so and it will be quite the endeavor. Tell me what you think, #booksky - should I?
