Objectionable Material: The Gathering Storm
http://objectionablematerial.blogspot.com/2012/06/gathering-storm.html
Sunday, June 24, 2012. Is the first of three compiled/writted by Brandon Sanderson after RJ's death. RJ was working on A Memory of Light. And lucky for us left behind notes and recordings of how the story ends. With a few exceptions, Sanderson does a good job. Mat, Rand, and Perrin all see the need to work with the Seanchan. Regular citizens begin to rally for the last battle. I think Taim is Moridin (Ishamael). Faile KILLS THE PROPHET. Tuon assumes her role as Empress (may she live forever). Wrong Case ...

Objectionable Material: 11/22/63
http://objectionablematerial.blogspot.com/2012/10/112263.html
Sunday, October 14, 2012. By Stephen King is the best novel I have read in some time. I devoured this 849 page doorstop in a little over a week. I'd been wanting to read it since it came out, but waited, because I had other things in line to read first, including King's Under The Dome. Which was also magnificent in it's own way. Would race relations, foreign relations, and poverty in America be what they are had he lived? I can't recommend this novel highly enough. Check it out - you won't be sorry!

Objectionable Material: Towers of Midnight
http://objectionablematerial.blogspot.com/2012/07/towers-of-midnight.html
Sunday, July 01, 2012. This is the last book, so far. Graendal lives. She tricked Rand with the compulsion. Egwene take the Tower. Rand as Jesus with the apples. Seanchan bloodknives are killing in the tower. Egwene thinks it's Mesaana. Nynaeve can heal madness. Mat is still pursued by the gholam. Mat writes to Elayne in hilarious fashion. Perrin meets up with the White Cloaks and Galad. Perrin embraces (finally) the wolf dream and the wolf. I think Lara might be Masaana - just a hunch stolen from B.

Objectionable Material: Feast Day of Fools
http://objectionablematerial.blogspot.com/2012/05/feast-day-of-fools.html
Thursday, May 24, 2012. Feast Day of Fools. I recently finished the latest novel by one of my top 3 favorite authors. Feast Day of Fools. By James Lee Burke did not disappoint. Burke is such a master of the English language - it's a joy to read anything he writes. The opening sentence:. My very favorite Burke novels are his Dave Robicheaux ones; Feast Day of Fools. I don't want to spoil the story, but do want to encourage anyone who still might be reading this blog to check the book out. It was just ...

Objectionable Material: New Spring
http://objectionablematerial.blogspot.com/2012/05/new-spring.html
Thursday, May 17, 2012. I think I read this prequel a bit out of sequence, but it's okay. I enjoyed the story of a young Moiraine, Siuan, and Lan. This is a great book to recommend to people who haven't read fantasy before to get them hooked on the series. Just a few notable things I saw:. Now I know why Cadsuane is assumed to be B.A. Lan and Moiraine came together because they were both running away from something. Next up (and I'm actually about 1/2-way through): Knife of Dreams.

Objectionable Material: Crossroads of Twilight
http://objectionablematerial.blogspot.com/2012/04/crossroads-of-twilight.html
Monday, April 23, 2012. I just finished my re-read of Crossroads. Book 10 of the series. It was a fast-paced one, lots of things going on:. Perrin is still trying to rescue Faile, and is getting sick of his cohorts a bit. He is considering an alliance with the Seanchan, thus far, a completely insane suggestion. Egwene is at the edge of Tar Valon with her army, laying seige to the city. Elayne is shoring up support for her claim to the Lion Throne. Next up: New Spring. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Objectionable Material: The Passage
http://objectionablematerial.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-passage.html
Sunday, January 06, 2013. This was a GREAT read. So, so good. I can't wait to start The Twelve. Which is book 2 in the series. But that will have to wait until after I read Towers of Midnight. Which I expect to be waiting for me at my doorstep Tuesday after work. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Absolute Best Things (according to EssBee). Jack Mangan's Deadpan Podcast.

Objectionable Material: Knife of Dreams
http://objectionablematerial.blogspot.com/2012/05/knife-of-dreams.html
Friday, May 25, 2012. Is book 11 in the series, and the last book out before RJ's death. Elayne wins the throne, finally. Egwene is still captive in the White Tower, and is slowly chipping away at Elaida's control. She accepts her punishments like an Aiel, and RJ obviously had a thing about spankings. Semirhage tries to fake out Rand with a meeting of a Daughter of the Nine Moons imposter. Rand captures her and loses his hand for his troubles. Perrin rescues boring old Faile. Next up: The Gathering Storm.
