It's wonderful whether one is five or 105. To be honest, I get weary with the later books in the series, but the early installments remain some of the most magical books I have ever read.

I thought Robin Hobbs' 'Assassin' books were probably the best fantasy I've ever read but I've never read on to the next series. So I have the first Liveship Trader book on my list for Carl's Once Upon a Time challenge that should start next week. I'm determined to read the series this year. Nice post. :-)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-82110970018018871572013-03-10T01:15:45.287+02:002013-03-10T01:15:45.287+02:00I accidentally skipped right over The Liveship Tra...I accidentally skipped right over The Liveship Traders and went on to The Tawny Man trilogy. I really need to go back and read those at some point.<br /><br />I gave up on The Wheel of Time at book ten, a few after I should have stopped. I'm curious now that it's over, but I might just read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia. :) So wrong, I know, but I can't go back...Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225859948546847678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-33606754385690700842013-03-07T16:10:41.172+02:002013-03-07T16:10:41.172+02:00I don't think I'd have a chance of complet...I don't think I'd have a chance of completing my Club list if I didn't mix it up, but that is just me :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-78379429610686841512013-03-07T14:17:43.669+02:002013-03-07T14:17:43.669+02:00Yes, I do feel like I've been living under a r...Yes, I do feel like I've been living under a rock :) But on the other hand, it feels good to know I have these wonderful series still to discover for the very first time.

Let's hope I am too lazy to go ordering online.) <br /><br />Ah right, I remember Narnias from your Classics Club list. Now I think maybe I should have added more children's literature myself. It makes a good change to all this heavier stuff.

Usually whichever I have re-read most recently wins :) But I really do love them both very much -- I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.<br /><br />I would have put the Narnia series on my list, but I *technically* started it already since I did read The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe. They are all on my Classics Club list though, so I will definitely be reading them at some point. Anne of Green Gables would be another good children's classic for the club too.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-53902299438838462652013-03-05T17:53:18.802+02:002013-03-05T17:53:18.802+02:00Good list!

And, how could I have forgotten about the Chronicles of Narnia! I want to read that series too! But, how is it possible you've never read AoGG! Seriously? Just joking! But really, you should start with that series and should read at least 3 books, because it is the third book where love is in the air... Happy reading!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
