Tome Thursday: The Elfstones of Shannara

Hello everyone!

So, apparently, I really, truly need someon to make sure I keep my promises, and especially to make certain I do the blog posts that I say I'd do.

Also, for some inexplicable reason I was fairly, one hundred percent sure I'd done a blog post (or more) concerning The Shannara Chronicles, which is of course the MTV show that we are waiting on baited breath for with a promise for a second season.

But, apparently, that's a no go.

The only posts I could find were of the previous two books in the original Shannara series, so I suppose I WANTED to do the other post, but never got to it.

Sounds just like me, honestly.

Before I run over all the many reasons why I seem to be in desperate need of a Remembrall, let's first take a moment to go through the review of the second book in Terry Brooks' original trilogy, namely the one that the show was based upon.

The Elfstones of Shannara.

Tome Thursday: The First King of Shannara

Hello everyone!

Book talk time, as it happens every Thursday, and somehow, I've managed to accumulate so many books I'm not even sure how or when I managed that.

Isn't it supposed to be easier to watch TV shows or movies and raking them together than getting so many books?

Apparently, for me it isn't. I'm actually struggling with the movies thing, although to be fair I've devised a system now because I do have a bunch of movies still left over to watch, and those new ones that keep on popping up ... yeah, I have my work cut out for me haha!

But each Thursday I talk about books, and although I promised myself I wouldn't type this one up before I finished the entire trilogy, I decided that, as this is a prequel and not in the trilogy itself, it can have a stand-alone blog post and nothing will be hurt from it.

As I've predicted in my earlier Tweet, I'm talking about The First King of Shannara.
