Achievement Unlocked for 2017 Mundane Wishlist

I've hit quite a lot of my mundane wishlist in 2017, even those which are a challenge to find. I'm hopeful that for 2018. I will hit more. :D

For 2017, I was able to hit four wishes! I got 50% of the Earthsea series and The Silmarillon!

Earthsea series
From L-R:  Book 4: Tehanu, Book 3: The Farthest Shore, Book 2: The Tombs f=of Atuan. 

The Silmarillon and Shannara series Book 1: The Sword of Shannara.
In the middle is a shawl from an officemate. <3

I got to know about the Earthsea series from the Tales of Earthsea animated film by Studio Ghibli.  From the animated film, I got very much intrigued and researched about it. It's like a whole new world comparable to Middle Earth, Narnia, Dune and the world of Ice and Fire. From my understanding, the Earthsea Cycle came as trilogy but it is now continued with two other books and one that comprises a collection of short stories that happened in the Earthsea archipelago. So I have three more to find for this series.

I first got the third book of the series, The Farthest Shore. I got from an Ahjussi selling books in a weekend bazaar. On a separate occasion, and still from the same Ahjussi and bazaar, I found book two - Tombs of Atuan and book four - Tehanu. (As of writing, I remember, I think I also found book five - The Other Wind and the short story collection - Tales from Earthsea. I'd better check Aahjussi's stocks again! XD). Honestly, I haven't opened them yet. I don't want to start reading them yet, especially I don't have book one.

I got The Silmarillon from our exchange gifts at work. I listed it in the wishlist, semi-hoping that I would get that. I even listed book one of the Earthsea series. I know they are hard-to-find books but I listed them anyway. I got lucky that the one who got my name is a bookworm! He was able to find The Silmarillon and incorrectly got me book one of the Shannara series - to my utter enjoyment. Now, I'm thinking that if I start reading the book of the Shannara series, I might read the rest of it. Good luck to me! XD

I'm happy to have them crashed off my wishlist. I'm looking forward to get all or most of my wishlist this 2018!

How about you? Have you ticked off some things off your wishlist? If not, there's another year to get them. Gambatte! ^o^
