#CastleontheHill made me think of Revelstone, the fortress giants carved out of the Westron mountains. I tagged book one of the Final Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever because that‘s where this particular map first appears, but please note there are six books before this one! #WanderingJune
I found The Runes of the Earth with the #coolcover (top R) that matches the rest of my set of The Last Chronicles! The original book 1 (bot L) is lovely, but the rest (& an unrelated book of novellas) had awesome cover art by John Jude Palencar. I figured it was too costly to buy a new copy just for the cover but I found it for $1.00 at the book sale last weekend! The 4 book series + The King's Justice = a pretty #fivestack #ReadingResolutions
#Littens: if a book has a glossary, do you read it first, refer to it as needed, save it for the end, or skip it altogether? I read it every time; I don't feel like I've completed the book otherwise. With this series, I save it until the end because sometimes, there are #spoilers! I've read these books before, but I want to rediscover the story as I go. I've forgotten enough that it's almost like reading them for the first time. #BookishProblems
Misty-eyed, I finished White Gold Wielder earlier this evening. I then spent some time thinking about the differences between the 1st trilogy & the 2nd before I started The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. I'm now 1600 pages away from starting the last book & I'm experiencing that odd state that I know Littens understand: wanting to devour these books, yet savour every last word, to put off reading the last page as long as possible. #EpicReread
My afirst post on Litsy!! I know everyone is coming here from bookstagram (@for_theloveofbooks) but I'm only here to check it out, and I'm learning how to use it slowly!
So this book; 'The Runes of the Earth' by Stephen Donaldson is on my to read list this year, although it is a bit beefy and so I may not start it until the gap between receiving my GCSE results and returning to school for sixth form.
It sounds incredible though!!!
Opening line:
"'No, Mr Covenant,' she repeated for the third time." #bookgnome #dumbledwarf #stephendonaldson #therunesoftheearth
