It's also great that you found some books that align with your interests, and your choice of "The Lost Symbol" and "The Shannara Chronicles" sounds intriguing. Enjoy your literary journey, and may it reignite your creativity and love for writing! 📚🌟
Yes. they are! I have watch "The Shannara Chronicles" series on TV but I didn't know that there's a book about 'til I saw it in a bookstore, so I bought it right away. I like comparing versions of paperbacks and TV adaptations.
