Welcome to a special month-long edition of the Beautiful World of Books, where I showcase one of my favorite series of all time! Now I know that some of the rest of you have your own opinions on whether or not this series is all that great or not (but it is, and that’s that;) —but hopefully you’ll be okay as we spend a few weeks examining the covers that we’ve seen over the course of this 15 book series!
As this is such an expansive and world-renowned series, I’ll be covering it in quite a few posts, starting with the first four books—Eye of the World, The Great Hunt, The Dragon Reborn, and Shadow Rising—along with the prequel, New Spring. After that I’ve a tentative schedule I’ll be looking to follow, but if you know anything about me it’s that schedules and I often have… an issue.
- From the Two Rivers (Books #0-4) – Thursday, April 14th
- Early Special Editions (Books #1-2, mostly) – Thursday, April 21st
- The Rise of the Dragon (Books #5-9) – Thursday, April 28th
- The Art and Lore of the Wheel of Time – Thursday, May 12th
- The Breaking of the World (Books #10-14) – Thursday, May 19th
- Recap and All together (Books #0-14) – Thursday, May 26th
So, please come back tomorrow for the start, or stay away while I rant about how much nostalgia I get from this series. Haha kidding—I promise I won’t do that, like, too much…
Also, just a note, I won’t be talking about the Amazon series at all, mostly because I haven’t seen it. And don’t plan to. You see, I have it all imagined and pictured a certain way in my mind, and I’m not interested in seeing it done up any other way. But if you want to tell me about it, that’s cool. I’m just not going to watch it.
A Refuge from Life 
This is one of those series I’ve always wanted to try but because of the length I keep putting it aside to try other things. But one day I do hope to try it. I wish I’d read it when younger. And the covers… I’ve always loved the artwork on the covers. Sweet is such an incredible artist.

You’re making the right decision in skipping the Amazon series. I didn’t last two episodes. Nothing about it was bad, really, but there was also no hook to keep me interested.

I just don’t want to ruin the nostalgic picture of it I have in my imagination. But also I’ve heard some things… And, I dunno, I was tempted, but not that much, you know? 😛
