Zezee with Books 
Great wrap up. I think I must have forgot you read The Eye of the World… I really hope to get to that one sometime this year so it will stop languishing in my TBR pile. 🙂

It’s pretty good but it sure is a commitment. I’m reading the series this time while listening to podcasts in hopes that it’ll help me complete it.

Oh, that’s a good idea. Yeah, I got most of the books for free from my friend last year and I’m thinking I should probably read them but it really is a commitment! Good luck!
