Doesn't look like recent activity with this group. Thought I'd mention recent reads [View all]

I just finished re-reading Black Prism by Brent Weeks. It was so long since I read it, the first in the Light Bringer series I’d forgotten it and ended up buying it thinking it was a new book. I’d read them as they came out and reading the first volume again was good. I’d forgotten a lot.

Starting now on Fools Errand, the beginning of a series by Robin Hobb. Hadn’t read anything by her for awhile and I always enjoyed her books. It appears to pick up after the Assassin story line. I’d recently started a new Shannara series by Terry Brooks. It really hasn’t grabbed me yet though. He doesn’t seem to be as good as he used to be, he just churns out a lot of books. I’d also been reading a series last year that I liked. Read the first 3 thinking it was a trilogy, but it left me hanging while the next book is finished. Now I can’t remember the author or titles (getting old) and I must have donated the books or something because I can’t find them now. I went to Barnes and Noble and scanned the Fantasy section thinking I’d recognize them but didn’t have any luck.
