Bot keeps dying, unsure why. Will figure out when I get the chance to. Sorry yall!
Working through the Mistborn trilogy, currently on Well of Ascension. First time stepping into Cosmere.
I wish I could wipe my memory and reread those books fresh. How are you liking them so far?
I loved the first one. Sanderson's pacing is excellent - I was expecting a slow burn based on what I'd heard about them, but I don't think that's the right phrase. More like a fire getting constantly stoked until something has to explode.
This week I started reading Ursula K. Le Guin's Rocannon's World (1966). I had previously read The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas (1973), and the The Dispossessed (1974) is in progress.
I'm reading Beatrice's Last Smile by Mark Gregory Pegg. It's a history of the Middle Ages through the concept of holiness. Really interesting, and it's written in small chunks with short histories of specific people or events that makes it a lot easier to read than some more academic looking books
I just started The Great Hunt (Wheel od Time book 2). Too early to say how I'm feeling about it but the series overallhas me intrigued.
Looking forward to getting into these later in the year.
I am reading Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol (P&V translation). Also occasionally listening to And Another Thing by Eoin Colfer.
Phenomenal read, especially in the cold seasons.
I finished The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beale and am wrapping up some novella follow ups.
After that I’m going to work on the Locke and Key Graphic Novels by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez. Then The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner. I read The Thief last year and really enjoyed it, my goal is to work through a bunch of the series I read the firsts of last year when I was discovering what I’d missed
Currently, I'm listening to Stormlight Archives book 3 - Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson. (The GraphicAudio versions are really good, but even the ones read by a single person are good!)
I really love the Cosmere setting! I highly recommend reading the whole lot of them.
This week it’s Brisingr by Christopher Paolini.
