Do you care to share what set of books you are giving your son? Regards, Kareni Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. I had never heard of it but the books are being made into a television series and the price of older editions has skyrocketed. We were hoping to be able to find hardbacks but couldn't find anything in our price range. I also was hoping for the original cover artwork which is quite interesting. B&N has a newer set with blah covers. Have you ever heard of it? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's readily available on Amazon, hardback, large paperback and paperback. It is an epic fantasy series and most of the books are quite chunky. Lots of characters, world building, battles, magic. Originally came out in the 90's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumto2 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 @Robin M Thank you! I copied the Bingo onto my new BaW Challenge section in notes and am getting ready to start some serious planning. I will definately be borrowing some 10 categories ......but need to change out some for my cozy mystery habit.😉 I also finished Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz and it was long.......but really good. It has a complete separate cozy mystery in the center of it and I will admit I dispared ever finishing. My kindle counting pages went wonky on this one and I showed barely any progress after reading for a couple of hours which increased the frustration. But I loved the cozy and really enjoyed the who did it wrap ups of both books. Lots of the kind of clever bits like anagrams for character names etc. It was probably a bit too long and could have been edited down a bit.......I gave it 5 stars on Goodreads but 4.5 stars is probably the real rating. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51179955-moonflower-murders. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) @mumto2I ended up sending Piranesi back to the library unread. I never even opened it. I read very little this month, and couldn’t summon the enthusiasm for Piranesi. I might try it again sometime. ETA Love the wall hanging!
