Huh. MyWOT (Web of Trust, a site reputation service & browser add-on) is still around, after having been caught selling users’ personal data several years ago.
And they still have the twisted ring logo that looks like the dream ter’angreal from that *other* WOT (Wheel of Time).

@trini I hope it’s better than the one book in the Wheel of Time series where everything happens on the same day as the climactic scene in the previous book, and you find out what everyone else was doing and how they react to it.
A Wheel of Time TV adaptation is finally happening!
A Wheel of Time TV adaptation is finally happening!
TV is definitely the format for it – it’s too sprawling for movies. And unlike another epic fantasy series I can think of, the story’s already done. (Early GoT convinced me that this sort of thing *could* be done on TV)

I probably should’ve posted that here, but I’m never quite sure where to post stuff that overlaps topics (like TV adaptations of books).
Anyway, I really hope this turns out to be good. My wife & I have talked on many occasions about which books might make full seasons or half-seasons or should be interleaved if someone did a GoT-style TV adaptation.
And casting… OMG we were fan-casting back when the Buffy cast were in the right age range.
I don’t plan on re-reading the series at this point, though. 14 looooong books that I’ve read already (and of which the middle four were…well, middling). I’d rather take that time to read something new, or re-read something shorter, or both.
WOT
Amused that @Web_of_Trust abbreviates itself as WOT & uses a logo that looks like the dream ter’angreal from Wheel of Time

Ageless
One of the sisters attending Fantine sounds like an Aes Sedai. She’s ageless, and known for never speaking a word that is not true.
She ends up covering for Valjean’s escape from the town jail, lying for the first time and sacrificing her honesty for his freedom.

“We’ll turn you from other craft stores.”
ashamanhannigan:
Little-known fact: in the First Age, Mazrim Taim sought power by running a craft store, rather than becoming head of the Asha’man.
Where did you think they got their supplies for making sword and dragon pins?
On a more serious note, I’m currently reading A Memory of Light, the long-awaited final volume of The Wheel of Time. I’m about 80 pages into “The Last Battle.” This chapter isn’t just longer than a Robert Jordan prologue, it’s longer than some novels I’ve read.
“We’ll turn you from other craft stores.”
I love it! I’d been trying to think of a punchline that had something to do with that, but just couldn’t come up with anything good.
Also, seeing “ ishamael likes this” on this post made my day.
OK, back to reading…
On TumblrMichael Whelan’s Cover for A Memory of Light Revealed
Wow. I’ve always liked Michael Whelan’s art since I saw his first few Dragonriders of Pern covers, so I might be biased, but he was a great choice to replace the late Darrell K. Sweet on the final volume of The Wheel of Time.

Which reminds me: a couple of nights ago, I dreamed I was Rand, inspecting a military camp and learning that the Dark One’s touch had destroyed all the coffee. ALL the coffee. And I/Rand immediately decided, “That’s it! We’re ending this NOW! Last Battle, here we come!”
Stayed up waaay too late last night reading The Gathering Storm. I’m about halfway through.
Stayed up waaay too late last night reading The Gathering Storm. I’m about halfway through. There are some definite “Oh, &*^%!” moments in there. For now: more coffee.

The Wheel of Time finale, “Memory of Light,” is so long that Tor is splitting it into 3 volumes, the first going on sale November 3, 2009.
So much for the promise that it'll be a single book even if you have to carry it around in a luggage cart.
Funny how easy it is to spot a cover by Darryl K Sweet. It makes me want to mash up Xanth, WOT, and every other fantasy series he’s covered
