Spyder Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley Empire City was fine but could've been really good. It needed 50-100 more pages for world building and character development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningfall Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I just finished the eleven books in the Emerilia series by Michael Chatfield. I mean, I basically binged eleven books, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I enjoyed them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyder Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Trouble The Saints by Alaya Dawn Johnson & Lost Christianities by Bart D. Ehrman (I needed some non-fiction to make sure my brain hasn't turned to mush) The Light Brigade was very good. Really enjoyed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyder Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Jade City, by Fonda Lee Got distract by ALL the sports coming back in the last month or so, but I really liked Trouble the Saints whenever I broke it open to read a chapter. Ending was excellent. Edited September 18, 2020 by Spyder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyder Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Forgot to add some books! I read about 25% of Jade City before setting it aside. I never got immersed in the world or really even very excited to read it, so maybe I'll come back to it later. I assume it gets really good, or at least better, at some point considering how many people seem to love it. Anyway, on to what I have read since moving on. The Midnight Library and How To Stop Time by Matt Haig. The latter was good. The former was absolutely outstanding and will be a book I reread sometime in the not-so-distant future. The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson, which I really enjoyed. Trail of Lightning, by Rebecca Roanhorse was very good, a future dystopian fantasy based in Navajo Nation mythology which is a whole lotta words I didn't think of putting together until I read this book. (For anyone who may be unfamiliar, the Navajo are a Native American people whose land is in the Southwest of the country.) As a palette cleanser, currently reading The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver before diving into something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonhawk Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Well in honor of TG death i continued my reread of SoT series. On Naked Empire and I forgot how much I hate his later books but I am going to finish this before the year ends. On a side note have been getting the digital versions and it seems I read much more like this since my phone is always with me. I have always been against e readers now not so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am reading The Broken Eye (Lightbringer B3) and Cracking Thai Fundementals. Lol, been here over 20 years you would think I'd have cracked them by now - but no, I am one of those stubborn immigrants who refuse to assimilate. Well, I have been - I am trying to change that now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hirondelle Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Now I'm on Book 4 (The Blood Mirror). I have a plan to read at LEAST 24 books this year and yes I know that is pathetic but social media broke me and getting my stamina back is slow progress. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulcet Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I have a similar goal this year. I’m just not setting a number this year because if I finish 3 it’ll be amazing. But this year, there’s actually stuff out I wanna finish or start. I got audible to help me out too so we will see. Good luck @hirondelle with your reading goal!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dulcet Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I finished The Alchemist’s Dream by Matthew T. Summers in one night. I haven’t been able to do that in ages! It felt great. Now I’m back into Sanderson’s Words of Radiance. Not planning on whizzing through that just as fast. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the first book in the Mistborn trilogy way back before anyone cared who Sanderson was. I took it as a stand-alone at the time. I read it for a book discussion group. I wasn’t a fan back then but now I regret my initial review. I remember discussing with people how cheesy it was because he had only written a few books at the time. Now, I’ll never read all his books so I’m just gonna read the big ones. Stormlight is good so far, but I really liked Way of Kings better. That was like sliced bread good. Words of Radiance is such a bore of a read so far. Good plot but I’m only pushing through it BECAUSE everyone has such high praise for the series. I’m hoping book 3 is better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
