From Buzzfeed books, books they feel are like the Wheel of Time.  It's not clear if they're talking about the television series or the book series, but it's a good list. If you haven't read the book series, don't hesitate to give them a try.

Book Notes January 18, 2022

Buzzfeed Books asked their community to suggest books and series they like to see adapted for television.  There are so many good ones on the list.  Some I haven't read and am curious enough about to see an adaptation.

CrimeReads reports on titles entering the public domain.  I've only read the Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy so far, but the Celestial City looks promising.
