This Christmas, I urge you all to think about where you spent your money. Rather than defaulting to Amazon, please try out some of these ethical shopping alternatives.

This Christmas, I implore you all to try and keep from giving any more money to the company that treats its workers like scum while its owner spends the pandemic building his own private spaceship. 

This year, let's try to avoid using Amazon. 

Well, I've watched the first two episodes of Amazon Prime's new The Wheel of Time series. And, given my love of the series and my thoughts on the importance of change in book-to-film adaptations, I thought I should give my opinion. 

Which comes in with a resounding... meh. 

Christmas is coming, and we all know what that means, don't we? Getting those Reading Piles topped up!But where are you planning to buy those wonderful books for your friends and loved ones?

I think The Dragon Reborn is where The Wheel of Time really starts to get good. The premise is set, we know the main characters, and have a grasp of the world as a whole. The foundation is in place, and we're ready to really open things up.
