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 Sword of Shannara

Hello everyone!

Back to books for this Thursday and I'm going against the promise I made myself a while ago again. Yeah, I'm a real professional with that, apparently! :P

The thing is, trying to clear out my impossible backlog of reviews to make room for new ones means I have to eventually touch these books as well even though I STILL haven't read the last one in the trilogy. 

I'm a bad person.

No, really, I am.

But I feel like, after grinding my teeth through three of Brook's novels, I'm going to grow old or at least grow grey hair before I managed to plod through number three, and I really am NOT looking forward to it.

Time for some positive affirmations and then I can jump right in!

But first, let me talk about The Sword of Shannara.
