Words of Radiance



Stormlight book 2 finally has a title.


 

Here is the announcement
http://www.tor.com/blogs/2013/02/the-title-for-brandon-sandersons-second-stormlight-archive-book-has-been-revealed

A series that I'm greatly looking forward to reading, as The Way of
Kings is part of my reading pile, is Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight.

Brandon is most famous for finishing Robert Jordan's final three Wheel
of Time books. He has various other books out there, but if I'm not
mistaken, it was for his Mistborn Trilogy that he was selected to
finish Jordan's series.

His Stormlight series is probably closest to his heart of all his
works. The first book, The Way of Kings, is out in hardcover, ebook
and mass market paperback series. It will become my 'next' series. I
say that because it's only one book in so far.

People know the names of Harry Potter, Bilbo, Frodo, Katniss, and
lately, Eddard Stark and Tyrion Lannister from George R.R. Martin.
However, not as many know of Rand 'al Thor, Mat, or Perrin From The
Wheel of Time. So, it is in my hopes and support of Brandon Sanderson
that his Stormlight series will become big.

It will also be the last 'new' series I'll get physical books of. Well,
at this moment. Sure I'm waiting for the mass market paperback (means
I have to wait till next fall for Words of Radiance) but still, it's a
book. Any other new books or series will be on my Kobo: waiting to get
the hardcover of Ken Follett's finale of his Century Trilogy, Edge of
Eternity. And there's also The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring
by George Martin. That's just for hardcover, there's more books I'll
get (see previous blog post).





So for those looking for a new fantasy series, looking for a new one
now that The Wheel of Time is finished, or looking for something to
pass the time until the next George R.R. Martin book (and keep you
reading after his series completes), check out The Way of Kings, the
first book in Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight series.

I have my fingers crossed that Michael Whelan will provide another awesome cover.

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
