I started reading The Little Stranger but as sucked in as I was I find that I keep getting back into The Eye of The World. I guess I will just to have to hurry up and finish so I can read The Little Stranger!

So I’ve read three of the books, but I’m not sure I’ll have reviews up by Monday. Maybe I’ll push my Friday review back to next week and try to get a couple in over the weekend.
