St Lucia, and Dominica both made history and won their first gold medals at the Olympics on August 3rd.

I also completed main 14 books of The Wheel of Time series (audiobooks) on July 13th 2024, 14 months after I first started them on May 17, 2023. I’ve lived with these characters and the story for so long, it is going to be odd being without them. A lot has changed in my own life since I began the series too.

Tallying the audiobooks, it comes to 450 hours and 4 minutes or 18 days, 18 hours, and 4 minutes if I had listened day and night without rest. Since I definitely didn’t do that, it took me 14 months or 424 days.
