The Last Continent
The Unseen University is in danger its librarian is sick and constantly changes his shape. He is the only one that is capable of traversing in the library and staying alive, as a result of his sickness, students and professors cannot borrow books.A rescue team is formed of the Universities staff (Archchancellor Ridcully, the Bursar, The Lecturer in Recent Runes, The Dean of Pentacles, The Senior Wrangler and Ponder Stibbons), they come up with a way to cure the librarian by casting a spell and changing him back to his human form. All that they need to do this is his real name. Unfortunately the only person that knows the name of this orangutan librarian is Rincewind which currently is missing, and lost on the last continent named XXXX.

The Dragon Reborn
It is the third book of the Wheel of Time series, and probably my last review of this series. The book starts similarly to the “The Great Hunt”, and probably will end also the same as two previous books.We start off few months after the end of previous part, the final battle that was presented there wasn’t really final (again!), and the Dark One isn’t dead. Rand (the new Dragon), Perrin, Moiraine and the soldiers from Shienar are hiding in the mountains. Rand is afraid of his powers, and eventually, after a Trollock attack on the camp, escapes from his friends. Al’Thors escape and Moiraine search for him is one of the three plots that make up the book.
