This is no mere qualitative review, hahaha, nice. I never really had the desire to read Atlas Shrugged because of the old saw too much of a good thing... She strikes me as a person who loves to belabor a point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spren of Kindness she/her Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Rereading Mistborn: The Final Empire. I'm definitely going to get through Era One, and then probably go on to Stormlight, though those are a mite harder to put in my school bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Slowswift he/him Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Recently finished All You Need is Kill, the manga (originally a novel) Edge of Tomorrow was based off. It was really good! Very different from the movie, mostly in a good way, of course. Now I want to see if I can get my hands on the original novel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine he/him Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Checked out Sweet Silver Blues by Glenn Cook based on a recommendation from @Ammanas . It's the first book in the Garrett P. I. series and it was really good. It's a hardboiled detective story set in a fantasy world, kind of like Raymond Chandler crossed with Piers Anthony (on one of Piers Anthony's good days). The story is good, the analogies are novel and fun, the mystery is compelling and fully explained, and the characters are great. Garrett, the human beer swilling detective, teams up with a Dark Elf vegan bruiser named Motley Dotes, consults an oracular animate corpse known as the Dead Man, and stays just one jump ahead of all the various factions that are tangled up in the plot who want to rub him out. Also just read Dashiell Hammett's first novel, Red Harvest and though it was good, I have to say I liked Sweet Silver Blues better. I think I'm tired of books that lionize anti-heroes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Sedai she/her Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Alternately rereading and relistening to Howl's Moving Castle for the umpteenth time. I love Jenny Sterlin as the narrator, she reads the characters exactly how I imagined them.

Spren of Kindness she/her Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Finished The Final Empire, as well as Dark Rise by C. S. Pacat. Dark Rise is pretty good, especially in terms of the writing style. Making steady progress on The Well of Ascension as well. Only a few weeks until my yearly Lord of the Rings reread! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlion Blight he/him Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Finished Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M Valente. It's about apples and the comfort they bring in the face of horrifying, overwhelming love. Now I can focus on A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger which if you're not reading, you are robbing yourself of happiness and your future self will never forgive you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draginon he/him Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Went on a cruise and didn’t want to haul ROW so I brought a couple smaller books to read. Finished Cold Hearted and it was an interesting look at Lady Tremaine, Cinderella’s stepmother, and what would drive a woman to become a wicked stepmother. It did introduce some timeline issues with previous books since the Beast’s book mentioned Cinderella marrying the prince as a recent event before the curse happened but here his story is done by the time Tremaine marries Cinderella’s father. The other book I started was Fool Moon but I didn’t finish that. I’ll get back to it after finishing ROW which I’m almost done with. This is taking longer than normal for me but it mostly had to do with the Kaladin chapters being very depressing to read and me having gone through that stuff at the same time. Also the war stuff was a pain to read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AonDoor he/him Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I just finished the whole Mistborn series again, and I'm going to reread Skyward and Starsight before delving into Cytonic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkum he/him Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 All the Dune talk recently made me want to reread that. I've Read Dune 2 or 3 times before, and Dune Messiah and Children of Dune once each, I think and nothing after that. so this time I decided to t least get through the Frank Herbert books. finished God Emperor yesterday and started on Heretics today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
