I really love reading

As you may know, I really love reading. And there are so many books and series in the world to read. I have a lot of books on my shelf to read, but let's talk about the full series that I eventually plan on reading!

Series I'd Like To Read

In no particular order.. As you can tell I'm really interested in Fantasy series. I just love being involved in these fantasy worlds! I feel I've missed so much by not reading for most of my life. And now I am getting the reading bug and having such a blast!

I may never get through all these series, but as of right now (November 2022), these are the series that I'd like to read. I'm going to try to give a brief synopsis of each of these series as I mention them.

Wheel of Time Book Covers

• Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

  A fifteen book series.

  The Wheel of Time is a series of high fantasy novels by American author Robert Jordan, with Brandon Sanderson as a co-author for the final three novels. Originally planned as a six-book series, The Wheel of Time spans 14 volumes, in addition to a prequel novel and two companion books. Jordan died in 2007 while working on what was planned to be the final volume in the series. He prepared extensive notes so another author could complete the book according to his wishes. Fellow fantasy author Brandon Sanderson was brought in to complete the final book. During the writing process, however, it was decided that the book would be far too large to be published in one volume; instead, it would be published as three volumes: The Gathering Storm (2009), Towers of Midnight (2010), and A Memory of Light (2013).

  The first Mistborn trilogy chronicles the efforts of a secret group of Allomancers who attempt to overthrow a dystopian empire and establish themselves in a world covered by ash. The first trilogy was a huge success and it pushed Sanderson to further develop his fictional universe, the Cosmere, which also includes The Stormlight Archive. Set about 300 years after the ending of the first trilogy, the second series is about the exploits of Waxillium Ladrian, a "wild-west Deputy" forced to move into the big city, and starts investigating kidnappings and robberies. The third series will be set in the early computer age with 1980s technology. The main character is planned as a Terris woman who is a computer programmer and Nicroburst; her brother is also planned to be a character. The fourth series is planned to be a space-opera.
