As a bitter hater / salt lover maybe I can help!

Brussel sprouts, cabbage, coffee, and beer are all bitter.

Also cooking sites go into detail on the different tastes:

Just to be sure... is that a Babylon 5 reference?

If so...have I got a Youtube reaction series/podcast for you!
A bunch of WoT podcasters get together to react to Babylon 5, some of them have never seen it.

Book 7-10 are commonly referred to as the slog because of the way the main plots drag. It was hard waiting for the next book to come out and not knowing if anything would actually happen in it.

It wouldn't be that hard for them to add a restriction on federal DoT funding to only states that follow the new CDL practices.

I'll definitely check it out. If it's as wild and fun as the original and lone star I'll stick with it. Chris O'Donnell is one of my favorite actors so that's a definite draw.

Have you already read R.A Salvatore's Forgotten Realms books? I read the early ones and they were good but can't remember where I left off and there's like 40+ now. Eventually I'll have to start over. I've also heard good things about the Malazan books but haven't read them yet.

Just tag #WoTskies and you'll get plenty of folks who like talking about the books.

There's also a metric crap ton of WoT first time reader podcasts and YT videos you can find that can enhance the reading experience. 😁

Thanks! I've been keeping myself out of the news loops to protect my mental health.

Oh this'll be good! 👻🕯

I hope the backstory of how this came about is included because I definitely missed something.

Welcome to #WoTSkies where many of us are unwell about The Wheel of Time.

Your premise is flawed since Valda was not considered a Great Captain. The five Great Captains were: Pedron Niall, Agelmar Jagad, Gareth Bryne, Davram Bashere, and Rodel Ituralde.

Much of what you posted could also apply to Niall since he was head of the Whitecloaks, but Valda was absolutely trash.

It's so hard to tell what's an error and what's a bit. <insert bits drop here>
I've decided all errors are bits so Adam does know the word is myriad not miriam and they both know that Andrew Jackson isnt on Mt. Rushmoore. (Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and T. Roosevelt are on it.) It saves time!

Absolutely! It's not like they're ever going to come when you call them no matter what you call them.

Hi All! I have a show suggestion if you all have access to Peacock it's the show Grimm. A detective/fantasy show from ~2010 that had 6 seasons and 22 episodes a season. I hear rumors of a reboot movie coming to the peacock app so it might be timely.

No it's the first book of the Stormlight Archive. Sanderson's own epic series. The Wheel of Time books that he co-wrote are The Gathering Storm, The Towers of Midnight, and A Memory of Light.

If you need spoiler free help remembering characters I recommend the WoT Compendium app. Just select the last book you finished and it will give you a character recap through that book and no further. You can also ask the fandom with the #WoTSkies tag just be sure to tell folks your spoiler level.
