I’ve really been wanting to move away from Social Media. And I realize when I say that that blogging is included under that umbrella but I’m really speaking more specifically about facebook, Instagram, snap chat, even reddit. It’s just a constant barrage of information and opinions and a shockingly high lack of citations. It stresses me out. Instagram is not to bad, there really is only so much you can post on IG.. it’s picture based.

However, on Facebook I just find it incredibly frustrating. And it also makes me second guess a lot of friendships. People are BOLD on facebook. I’m all about posting things you believe in and will back up, but if someone posts something on facebook that is in any way controversial it is rare that they are willing to discuss it in person during a live action conversation.

Anyways, with all of that being said, I’m going to focus more on posting here and less on 144 characters or less. With that being said, the most recent thing I’ve posted on facebook about is my completion of the Wheel of Time series..

This is not the first time that I’ve read the series. This would actually be my fourth or fifth read through, but it is the first time I’ve read back to back book 1 through 14. After Robert Jordan died, I did read the following books that were authored by Brandon Sanderson, but not with everything fresh.

It was as good as I remembered it and honestly didn’t find the “slump” in the middle as noticeable. Maybe it’s because there were things I remembered, and things I didn’t, it was really great reading experience. I do have to say that it was a bit rough at the very very end. I forgot that I really only got to read a scant few chapters post climax. I wanted more closure. There was still so much room for the story to wind down. But, the story has to end somewhere, and I’m so happy it was able to end where it did. If it hadn’t been completed after RJ’s death, I would have been scarred for life.

Still, I wish we could’ve gotten more satellite books from the series.
