I read multiple books. I do this unless one completely engulfs me, then Iโ€™ll just read and finish that one.

Iโ€™ve always preferred characters to walk around aimlessly anywayโ€ฆ

Plot is overrated in storytelling. ๐Ÿคฃ

Me and my wife both are loving 11/22/63. Couple reading rarely happens in our house sadly, but this book has us both engaged.

Congrats on the baby! I listen to a ton of audiobooks while walking and doing chores around the farm. Itโ€™s not always easy to find the time to sit down and read even without a baby (mine are 25, 7, and 5).
Currently listening to The Eye of the Bedlam Bride and reading 11/22/63 by King.

Are you reading or listening? I read 80% of the first book and then kept hearing how amazing the audiobooks were and switched to listening. I then decided I needed to own these in hardcovers s as wellโ€ฆso this series has a hold of me lol

I always hesitate to go that far, but I think I agree with you. Iโ€™ll say itโ€™s the best series Iโ€™ve read over 5 books (currently reading book 6). I have a lot of books I love more, and even a couple of trilogies I hold higher due to when I read them, what they led to, etc..But DCC is pure fun.

Bluesky must be taking off! Just had my first sexbot follow!

Iโ€™ve heard listening to it is the way to go. Kinda the same with the Dungeon Crawler Carl books (which I have listened to since the first book).

Curious as to your thoughts on Project Hail Mary. I loved the ending and the friendship. I had a really hard time with the first 70% of the book though. My eyes glaze over with real science pretty quicklyโ€ฆ. fake science even quicker.

Iโ€™m currently reading Eye of the Bedlam Bride, Iโ€™ll catch up!

In 2025, the only reading goal I have is reading the โ€œotherโ€ books in the Lonesome Dove series. Lonesome Dove being the best book I read in 2024.

I have not read that yet.

With these likes, I canโ€™t recommend The Gentlemen Bastard and Dungeon Crawler Carl series enough for you.

30.12.2024 02:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The entire series is just plain ol fun. It definitely has some heart in the series as well, but fun is the best way to describe it. Also maybe hilarious?

I loved the ending and friendship in Project Hail Mary, but all the science, and fake science at that, I struggled with.

Iโ€™m on book 6. Catch up!

Easily the most fun Iโ€™ve ever had with a series over 5 books. Maybe not the best thing Iโ€™ve ever read, but itโ€™s consistently entertaining (which is kinda the point).

22.12.2024 02:04 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The whole series is just a ton of fun. Itโ€™s very easy to binge.

I think I may have to revisit An 8-bit Christmas this year!

The only Christmas movie Iโ€™ve watched so far is The Santa Clause.

I wish I could agree. Iโ€™ve never enjoyed the movie but Iโ€™m very happy you do!

No, it was illegal formation as explained by the NFL later.

You mean the illegal formation call on the Raiders? Cause thatโ€™s a different penalty

My Jeff Lemire cover collection continues to grow. Pretty much all I collect in floppies anymore.

This week for me:
1. Finish Dungeon Crawler Carl: The Gate of the Feral Gods.
2. Catch up on Ghosts and the new Matlock.
3. Continue Project Hail Mary with at least a chapter a day goal (hasnโ€™t been my favorite read so far (unpopular I know)).
4. Be better than I was last week.

Thatโ€™s the best way. Occasionally I follow back immediately. Itโ€™s never about numbers (or shouldnโ€™t be), itโ€™s about mutual interests and healthy discussion.

Ascender is fantastic. Enjoy!
