  • 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 (if you haven't read it yet, DON'T), 10, 12 (you NEED to read this), 13, 14, 15 (great book), 16, 18, 19 (did you hate these as much as I did?), 24, 28, 29, 35, 37, 38, 39, 42, 43, 45 (READ THIS!), 48 (another must), 50

    24/50. Not too bad.

  • @Burgandyandgold777 Your comment is perfection. I shall read the ones you say I must! :D x

  • 12/50 so so-so only. Would love to know what you think of Mercedes Lackey's "The Last Herald-Mage" trilogy. It can be found (with difficulty) in a one volume edition. Separately the titles in order are: Magic's Pawn, Magic's Promise, Magic's Price.

  • @ctp2067  They all sound great! I'll be sure to check it out!

  • Did you see the trailer for The Hobbit yet? I'm so excited :D

  • @NeebasAndAyirhs YES! I'm so excited. #flailing.
