I'll be participating! I'm excited.
My LJ is locked, so I'm only using that to identify myself.
I can be emailed/reached at
aslerastar at gmail dot com and my name is Lera :)
Wow, that's ambitious! Jake tried to get me to read the first book in the series, which I have yet to do. I am not the best person for book clubs or book challenges, so I most likely will no participate. Best of luck though! Sounds like an awesome challenge! :D
YES! I wanted to re-read these before the new one, so this is the motivation I needed! I've never participated in an online book club, so thats a first for me too. Now I just have to beg and borrow copies of the books...
Awesome! I am in! This is my blog: http://misha-mcg.livejournal.com/
This sounds great! I am not sure if I will be able to participate in this great challenge.
FYI: You can get the first book in this series for $3.49 Free Shipping at the Book Depository. Here is the link http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9780812511819/The-Eye-of-the-World
Yes! This is so incredibly cool, you don't even know. I'm totally in...I hope? I'll cross my fingers for keeping up, but I'm still not sure if I can commit fully. So this is a tentative registration...?
I'm Landon (landonhkramer at gmail dot com) and my blog can be found here: http://lakramer14.livejournal.com/
@Landon: Sign ups are tentative, yes. :)
I actually just finished reading the whole series up to this point a couple of weeks ago, so will not be signing up..there's NO WAY I can wait until next December to read the next one...I doubt I"ll be able to wait until THIS December!
Ooh I am interested in this. I have been trying to finish the series for awhile now. I am signing up.
My name is Laura and my email is
cardiak33 @ gmail.com.
Will I be able to get a reminder email before it starts so I can remember to get my books unpacked; I just moved and there is no room for my books. =(
Yup, I will be sending out a reminder to begin email at the end of 2009! :)
oh i am so in.
i try and read this series every year or so (ive been slack this year, only read the Mat bits and then got sidetracked halfway through crossroads ^^;; )
anyway. name - Sauke
Email - tmlinke (at) wideband.net.au
can be found at entwinedangels.livejournal.com and am in australia if thats needed?
I'm totally in! I am so obsessed with the series~
I'm Emily (please call me Meily) and my email's at meilychanster at gmail dot com.
Alright! I entered you in as Meily with "Emily" noted so that I remember. :)
Fascinating! I'm not signing up because I already have enough challenges (between calico_reaction and then my private ones with friends), but I like the idea. :) Looking forward to your reviews!
I read about this on LJ, and I definitely want to join in! I've never heard of this series, but I'm a big fan of the fantasy genre so I'm sure I'll like this.

I really should sign up for this. I've been meaning to read this series for years but haven't gotten to it. I just read Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson & really enjoyed it. I saw that he is finishing up the WoT series so interested in reading that.
I'll go ahead and put you on the list, Debbie. Then if you turn out having the time, you can join in. :)
I have books 1-8 and I haven't read them for close to ten years. So this will be a great way to re-read the ones I have read and to buy the newer books to finish my collection.
My e-mail is: selwyn_jp @ hotmail dot com
I am looking forward to this challenge and discussing the books with fellow challengees! :D
@Selwyn, you're the last to get bonus points for signing up! :)
I started the books this summer and am only on TSR #4. I would love to participate and discuss with fellow fans.
email: aeiseman62@gmail.com
Thanks for doing this!
Anne
I would love to be involved with this. I have read the first 10 books, but I have to reread them all so I can buy book 11 and 12 and read it so this is a perfect opportunity. How exactly do I sign up?
I am so on! I'm Pedra and my email is shaidar03 @ gmail dot com. I've read through all the books at least 4 times (more depending on the book) and LOVE the idea of a book club challenge!
I'm in! This sounds like fun! I've never done anything like this, but I need to re-read the series (again) before I can move on to #12 anyway, and this seems to be a great way to do it. My email is omerritt@cox.net
Im in, my email is trench158@hotmail.com
Sounds like fun! My name is mario and my email is mariopolo84@gmail.com
I can't wait!!! I'm almost done with TGS.. its so good!!!
I'm in, since I don't live in USA and I read the books on different language I'm not asking for any 'giveaway' I'm just in because I love the series and I want to reread it.
My name is Fedor and my email is fedorhajdu [at] gmail {dot} com
Oh yeah woops. I live in Canada so I don't know about the giveaway thing either but I'm still in just to at least participate.
I'll participate. Every time I'm finished with re-reading the series I feel like re-reading TEotW again, and so I start reading the series all over again :)I'm on KoD now, I'll be done next week in time for the arrival of my TGS version(I live in Norway, so I wont get it on time).
So I don't know how eligible I am for giveaways, but I'll join the "book club" I think.

Will there be any kind of discussion for New Spring, set before book one? It kind of ruins the whole 12 books / 12 months perfection though.
Please add me too!
I've been wanting to read this series since forever so I guess 2010 is as good a year to start as any. Not to mention the book club-y discussions are an extra incentive :)
My email is kay at kaysbookshelf dot com.
Predictably enough my blog is http://www.kaysbookshelf.com :)
I usually go by Kay, but if there are more Kay's than just me we'll just see what can be done :)
@Emily: Currently I have no plans to include New Spring. But who knows, perhaps we'll all be so excited that we'll just tack it onto the end.
@Kay: You've been added!
You know what? I'm in. I just read the entire thing but I think it'll be fun to read it again and actually discussing it with people.

Wow, Sign me up. Not sure if I can keep up with such a fast pace, but am willing to give it a try!
Not sure if I want to receive emails all the time though, hardly ever log in anyway.
@Najolica, I added you to the list! And just for the record emails will be twice a month--one in the middle to remind everyone to read and once at the end to remind about the discussions. :)
Okay. my email is milotoby (at) gmail (dot) com
@Najolica: Alrighty! Can't wait for next year, I'm excited get started reading.
Count me in!

You're now on the list, Amber! :)
Hey - Book 7 Crown of Swords Reread on Tor.com is underway right now- Leigh butler is hosting a chapter by chapter reread of each book - she is posting a review of 1-3 chapters on Mon and Fri. There is a great discussion following each review. Come check it out.

http://www.tor.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=blog&id=13372
For other sources chack out the 13th depository and the WOT Faq and WOT encyclopedia. Great collections of the finer details.
Will find great insights to add to the reread. Might also suggest breaking the books up into smaller chunks - there is so much material in each book - waiting until the end might be too much to reflect on the intricate details. Perhaps breaking into themes or characters for discussion threads will help discussions.
@Reep: Excellent suggestions, of course! I do plan to make use of the Tor re-read threads, but didn't know abotu the FAQ or Encyclopedia.
I don't feel comfortable breaking the books up, because that would require people--who may not have the time--to read the books faster than they're able and make this stressful for them. However, I think that the format of the discussion posts will help jog everyone's memory and promote discussion. You'll have to give me feedback on if I accomplish that in January. :)
I'm in! Almost done with TGS, and I really want to do a re-read before the next installment comes out. Perfect timing!

Just wanted to let you all know that Barnes & Noble is having a 50%off All Adult Newy York Times Hardcover Best Sellers. The Gathering Storm (Wheel of Time Series #12) is on there. Plus they have free shipping! Here is the link: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Gathering-Storm/Robert-Jordan/e/9780765302304/?cds2Pid=17891
Hey sorry..Can you take me off the list? I got accepted to the university that I applied to and I start Jan. 4th. So I won't have as much free time as before. Sorry again. Would've been fun.
Sign me up TJ - WoT has been on my list for a long time now, and I like the idea of tackling one book a month.

Super excited! I read the entire series last year up to book 11 in 4 months, so I got this! xD Had to wait a month to read book 12, messed up my flow! Haha!

i'm looking forward to the fun!
@Lisa: I've added you to the list! And you're not all that late, you do have half a month left. ;)
This is my favourite series, would love to read it agin. I have read them all except the latest one. Am I too late to join? May not make the end of Jan but will catch up with the others.
Sorry my email is davendos@iafrica.com and http://brendasmum.blogspot.com
@Tracy: Of course it's not too late! You've been added! :)
I just finished rereading the whole series (I always reread the books every time a new one comes out), but I'm game to read them again.
@c3vette: I added you to the list! We're on The Great Hunt for discussion on February 28th!
FUN!! I'm coming in a bit late here, but I actually finished The Eye of the World in Jan and am halfway through The Great Hunt, so I'm right on schedule!!
Tina
tina.pierce@gmail.com
@Tina: You're on the list! :)
how opportune! I read The Eye of the World last month, and just started The Great Hunt. So, please count me on board. (I saw this event on the Dragonmount twitter feed.)
@Opal: What lucky timing! You're on the list. :)
Hey is it alright to join the challange late? I had already started reading Eye of the world in December so I'm a little ahead can I still Join in though??

@Sharnise: Of course! You're actually right with us timing-wise. You're on the list now! :)
Hey so I know I am being a pain but is their anyway to change the e-mail on the list? I just got a new e-mail that I think is far more fitting
If I could change it to fishe111@dragonmount.com that would be awesome. If not let me know
@fishe111: It's not a problem at all! I'll switch it just as soon as I get home. :)
Thanks TJ! Since I posted I finished TGH and started TDR. I'm so excited about getting through the series again, probably because I know what's about to happen in each book, and I'm reading it very quickly.
Awesome. I was already doing that on my own. I started book 1 on Jan 1, I am currently on Knife of Dreams.
I am two months late. :(
Is it OK to join in now?
My email is: maheshkb [at] gmail [dot] com

@Loki & Don: No one's too late, of course! You've both been added. Our discussion of The Great Hunt was only just posed, so feel free to join in the discussion. Otherwise, I'll see you both for March's discussion of The Dragon Reborn!
