Heh, hope things improve in next books.

[–] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 2 days ago

Thanks for the info.

I haven't read the short story this is based on, is it completely stand alone or based on some other novels?

[–] dresden@discuss.online 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, it was a nice read. Looking forward to what he writes next.

[–] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 3 days ago

Heh. I am trying to buy less and read more, it's not like I buy too much, but it's more than what I read. I have about 100+ (not going to say how much + is that) to-read book at home at this point (collected over years). I don't think that number will ever reach 0, but I want it to go down for a while, let's how it goes.

Congratulations on the century!

That's a lots of hours. To 650 more hours!

I was reading Jujutsu Kaisen, but I have been told it gets weird halfway through, or in words of my friend, you need a STEM degree to process what's happening. Apparently ending wasn't that great either. Pretty much all them told me to not waste my time and money on it.

If you do continue, would love to hear what you think about it.

[–] dresden@discuss.online 1 points 3 days ago

Ah, okay. Thanks for clarifying.

[–] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 3 days ago

Thanks for the reply. Will check which ones are available at my local bookstore.

[–] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 3 days ago

Heh, will remember that.

 

Still Reading The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson. His fourth and final standalone Cosmere "secret project" novel.

About halfway through, not much more to add.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Ah, makes sense. Thanks!

 

Reading The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson. His fourth and final standalone Cosmere "secret project" novel.

I am about 1/4th through, and it's interesting to see how connected this is with Cosmere, unlike the first 3 books. I think this book should be read after you have read at least 1 book of The Stormlight Archive. Looking forward to seeing if we learn anything else in it.

Finished Tripwire by Lee Child, third book in the Jack Reacher series.

Ending was expected, but I guess if you have such a long running series, pretty much ending will always be expected. Bad guy meets Reacher, bad guy loses, Reacher wins. Fun to read though, which is the main point. Going to keep reading them.

Don't think it ticked any of the Bingo boxes though.

Still reading the third book in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, Tripwire. More than half-way through, closer to 2/3rd actually.

Not much to say about it. It's bad guy being a bad guy and Reacher being Reacher. Some interesting side characters, would love to see if it means any character development or not.

Reading the third book in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, Tripwire

Liking this more than the second book. Reacher was very passive in that book, so it's nice to see him taking action in this one.

Read My Roommate is a Vampire by Jenna Levine.

It's a rom-com, which I don't generally read, so I can't judge if it was actually good or not. Personally, it felt too much like one of those K-Dramas, where a poor girl meets super rich guy, who is super handsome, and she keeps thinking about her all the time. Except this one has a Vampire. Not a big fan, but overall it was a fine time pass.

Finished Ghost Story by Jim Butcher.

That was some story! Quite different, but also quite similar (to the rest of the series). Also, part of the ending was expected, but was surprised by the rest. Looking forward to where the story goes from here.

Also read The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. The first Witcher book.

I read it quite a while ago, but hadn't finished the series, so got a boxed set and reading it now. I had forgotten how Fairy Tales heavy this book is.

Bingo squares (for both boooks): Author from a Different Continent (hard mode), Now a Major Motion Picture, Short and Sweet, Based on Folklore, Off your TBR Pile, also possibly Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

Started next book in the Dresden Files series, Ghost Story by Jim Butcher. This is book 13, and is pretty unique so far. The previous book "Changes" has changed quite a bit, and now we are living those changes.

Can't put it down, want to see how it develops!

My previous book, Streams of Silver covers 2 bingo squares: Title: [X] of [Y] and Off your TBR pile (hard mode).

Life is still pretty busy, not getting much time for Lemmy, but at least got some time to read now.

Still reading Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore. Book 2 of the series. Am more than halfway through now, if nothing comes up, should be able to finish it this week.

Hello everyone!
