8. "Eye of the World" 1st book of Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan.

A while back I read the final 3 books which were written by Brandon Sanderson using the late Robert Jordan's notes assisted by Jordan's wife. It had been years since reading WOT. Jordan's writing is definitely more my taste than Sanderson. Anyway I will not try to binge read WOT.

My next book will be Hidden Depths by Ann Cleeves. I was looking from one of her Shetland Island series and found this one starring Vera Stanhope. I did not know that Cleeves wrote Vera. We watched a season of Vera.

You know how smells can bring up memories or emotions? The smell of old paperbacks printed, no doubt on high acid paper, makes me smile.
