140 pages into my reread of HD and I can see why I love HD so much more than EoS. I can sum it up in one word.

Direction.

We have goals, we know where we want to go, we have a mission, we have stakes.

EoS was fun but it felt like it was lacking progression.

HD CHANGES THAT FOR THE BETTER!

Finished up EoS and moving on to my reread of Howling Dark!

Chapter 1 of HD is FILLED with info on what's going on.

There's a lot to keep track of from people, relationships, past battles, ships, planets and the current objective.

Overwhelming? Maybe, but for good reason 🦾

I've been listening to The Stand off and on now for a couple of weeks and it's been amazing. Down right scary at times too.

King's character work is top tier where each person feels real almost immediately.

Also, whenever I sneeze, this book now pops into my brain 😳

15% into the story so far!

EoS Chapter 1 -
"But before I was any of these, I was a son."

RR Chapter 1 -
"The first thing you should know about me is I am my father's son."

COINCIDENCE?!?!?!

I think so, maybe, probably not πŸ˜‚

20 chapters into my 3rd reread of EoS and it's been going great.

You can really tell that Ruocchio had a grand plan for this series with so many little details that flash forward in future books.

However, I can also see why some folks don't jive with it...

Saw Alien Romulus last night and it was fantastic! Back to OG Alien vibes.

Claustrophobic space horror that seems to continuously up the "oh shiett" moments 😱

I finished Soul Fraud last week and I gotta say...

DAMN!

What a thrill ride of a story that felt fresh and unique. If you're a fan of urban fantasy in any capacity, get this book on your TBR ASAP!

I tried The Gunslinger a couple years back and put it down after a few chapters. I think I need to revisit it again!

In a couple months, I'm planning on reading Stephen King for 30 days.

I've only read ONE book from Mr.King called Later.

Besides IT, what 4 books do you guys recommend?

Death Stranding is one of my favorite videos games of all time.

You also can't deny this golden skull mask doesn't look BA 🀘

What's one of your favorite games?

My two audio listens are truly a magical experience πŸͺ„πŸ’

It's been over 15 years since I've read a Harry Potter book and wow, I've forgotten how much fun they are.

I'm also going through LotR for the first time and again WOW, I can now see why Tolkien is such a legend in the fantasy genre.
