Not a huge fantasy novel person, but I read the Game of Thrones books. Waiting forever for the new ones to come out, as a joke decided to try reading the entire Wheel of Time series (14 loooong books) while I waited. I’m on book 7 of 14. Can’t/won’t turn back now.

I actually reread them last year, and finally finished all of them (Robert Jordan, the author, died back when I was reading them as a young teen, so there was a long gap between the 11th book and the final 3 books while the publishers tried to find another author to finish the series using Jordan's notes and input from his wife/editor, hence why I never finished the series as a kid).
I was motivated to reread them because the Amazon WoT series is such complete and utter shit, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't misremembering the books, because I remembered really liking them. In fact, I was initially drawn to them as a teen because after reading LOTR and seeing all of the movies in theaters, I needed something new to fill that gaping hole of loss you feel after finishing a good series, and WoT did that nicely.
Anyway, turns out the books are still great, even as an adult. In fact, I appreciated them even more this time around. Which makes it such a shame that the Amazon series is just absolutely butchering it (they're following only like 5% of the books' plot and inventing the other 95% from scratch). Talk about a crime against art. I definitely recommend the books though! They were a fun, easy, and epic diversion during the depressing latter half of winter. So much so that I'm trying to turn it into a habit. Non-fiction during spring, summer, and fall, and fiction during winter.

I like this thing, and I apologize to everyone for being so old; the fact that I’m here means it’s not cool anymore 😢
Did I try to think of a more current way to say “not cool” and then give up? Yes I did. Cheugy? Would that be proper usage of Cheugy?
Fully aware that I’m using too much punctuation

This is an unacceptable way to package a burrito BUT you have delicious vegan food and my work paid for it so this is the only online place I’ll mention it

Dense nougat on the bottom, peanut butter on top, covered in chocolate. Shouldn’t work as well as it does.
