Start over! Can't hurt anything. Not like there's a time limit on reading it.

I guess I was more concerned about the re-investment. I lost about 1/2 of my large book selection 2 years ago when we had mold issues in all our stuff in storage. The storage company came pretty good for everything but the money was spent on buying replacement big ticket items like furniture, mattresses, etc that were not sealed in containers. A lot of the small stuff like books just were not a priority.

A good portion of my books were just in unsealed cardboard boxes. Some of the unsealed boxes were salvageable but we were very paranoid about what we could safely and confidently clean as we didn't want to introduce mold into our brand new house.

We spent a very depressing weekend with a bunch of family helping to clean all we could with bleach and throwing out the rest. Lesson Learned to pass on to you all. SEAL EVERYTHING EVEN IF YOU PAY FOR SEALED STORAGE!


Anyways, on the positive side, almost all of them are listed as available at the public library.

This is disappointing news for me, as I have been holding off on starting over with reading them. Knowing the last one was coming out the end of this year, I just started over again a couple of days ago! I may need to put this on hold for a while and wait another year or two to start over so they are all fresh.

Off to read the blog to see what the deal is.

Finally got around to reading the blog. I feel a bit better about it after reading that, and am glad they will be done right. It just means I may give up on rereading the series for another two years and start it up again when it is closer to the last book coming out. At least I don't feel the need to reread the prequel, as I did read that already and recall it as filling in early information, but as a bit of a stand alone that is separate from the rest.

I wish that he had done the second and third prequels. I fear that those are well and truly lost.

Someone who has read The Gathering Storm has posted their impressions of it here. The section with spoilers is clearly marked. Of course, you can avoid it altogether if the mere opinion of it might spoil it for you.

I skipped the spoilers, but it sounds good to me! Still too soon to start rereading all of them, I suspect. I can usually burn through a 600 page book in less than a week...

Oh yeah? I can usually do that in one sitting on the toilet!

He meant "read" not actually set on fire after a night of hot wings.

Just finished book two of my re-read. Summer is so busy. I'll be hard pressed to finish them all in time for Novembers release of book 12.
