What ya’all reading? I’m admittedly juggling a lot of books right now, something about a Tek War, but I also started ‘The Lost City of Z.’ What about everyo...

I'm currently reading what I presume will be my final read of 2023: Vanilla by Mona Kabbani. I'm on a real horror bend at the moment.

eclipse Oh! There was (what I consider to be) a very fun series on Netflix I think of this? Not sure why I didn't bother looking up the novel itself... I loved the adaptation. Thank you for reminding me it exists!

I know it’s dense and mythological, but The Silmarillion is so cool you guys.

This book rocks!

I'm in love with this book. Read it last week and it is such a beautiful, nuanced story that I am already rereading it.

also had a flash of inspiration for a creative project from it ...

I finally started reading Discworld! I'm reading in published order and I've just started Sourcery. I love it so much already.

I don't think I ever would have considered going in Published order. Do love those books though -- only read a handful myself, but I think my wife has all of them

I'm finally getting around to Gideon the Ninth, after hearing so many good things about it. I'm only like six chapters in, but it's fun so far!

I received the Skyrim cook book! 😸 finally my real house too will be filled with boiled creme treats!!!

Dr Glowcat Oh I would love this, I love reading thorough cookbooks and I love the Elder Scrolls. I'd be interested to see how the recipes turn out!

I'm re-listening to my favorite series, Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim. It's an urban fantasy series about a magician who comes back from Hell and winds up being an antihero in LA. It's very Christian-mythology-based but in a lot of really interesting ways, I love it. And the narrator for the audiobooks is excellent, he captures the voice perfectly. (They're told in first person, so that's particularly important.) It's kind of a comfort series for me, I always go back to it when I need to find myself again. The only downside is that the main character smokes and talks about it a lot and my hyperempathy makes me want cigarettes lol.

I'm currently reading the Young Wizard series by Diane Duane. It's a middle-grade(ish) book series. I'm on book 3 out of 10 (High Wizardry).

smalllady07 I read the first three books when I was a kid (they were the only three published at the time). I bought the rest as eBooks a little while back, but haven't gotten around to reading them.

Man I loved those books when I was a kid.

smalllady07 I've only read the first one but it was so good! I want to go back to that series sometime.

Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell. It is heartbreaking and lovely.

I'm reading Ghostland, by Colin Dickey. It takes a philosophical view on hauntings and explains them as our way to remember traumatic or problematic events in history without confronting them directly. A really fascinating viewpoint.
