Draginon 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 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 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...
Spren of Kindness Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 About 400 pages into The Way of Kings. I think I'm enjoying this go around even more, maybe because it's been almost a full year since I last read a Stormlight book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I'm reading Crossroads of Twilight. It's definitely slow, but I'm enjoying it so far. I also just finished Misery by Stephen King. I've never read any of his books, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up loving Misery. Also, a few weeks ago I read Doomsday Book by Connie Willis, and it's great. It's basically a sci-fi novel about time travel, pandemics, and the Middle Ages. I recommend it (especially right now because it's about diseases and takes place during December). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Sedai Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Out of Line: The Art of Jules Feiffer, by Martha Fay, and Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turner. I read the second book years ago, but am just starting the first. It's surprisingly good! Edited December 9, 2021 by Robin Hatter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got hooked immediately and am continuing to lose sleep over the book! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Ajah Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Why do you need to say who wrote the Silmarillion? Reading the Middle Falls Time travel series again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Sedai Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Well, there might be people who have never heard of the Silmarillion. It's nice to list the author just in case. A bunch of newspaper comics online. Frazz, Stone Soup, Phoebe and her Unicorn, Pearls before Swine, Calvin and Hobbes.

Orlion Blight Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 And maybe we just wanna say the author's name! Speaking of which, I'm excited for next year when we get The Last Metal by one Brandon Sanderson! Maybe we'll get more news soon! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 About a third into Words of Radiance. I'm also reading A Little Princess off and on, and there are some very relatable parts of this book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spren of Kindness Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Read all of Lord of the Rings, Cytonic, and the first four Left Behind: The Kids novellas. Left Behind I thought would be right up my alley, since I was that kid who read Revelation repeatedly when I sat in church with my parents and didn't understand the sermon. I like the concept, but so far the execution... it's okay. There's still thirty six more of these, so room to improve, for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningtide Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 I just finished the Shadow and Bone trilogy, Six of Crows duology, and King of Scars (not Rule of Wolves yet) by Leigh Bardugo. I also read The Lunar Chronicles and Heartless by Marissa Meyer. The Throne of Glass series is my current conquest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2EmLee2 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 @Ookla the Theoretical Yay, another person who has read the Grishaverse! And the Lunar Chronicles! And Heartless!! I've been reading too many books at once... - Forest Born, book 4 of the Books of Bayern by Shannon Hale - Oatburger Oathbringer - The Clockmaker's Daughter by [I forgot] - And a few more that I need to start... But I should probably finish the ones I've already started. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasimir Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Finished a reread of Phyllis Ann Karr's Idylls of the Queen, which is a retelling of an episode in Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur featuring a poisoned apple, but Karr does it pretty creatively by giving us Sir Kay as the POV character in a detective duo with Sir Mordred trying to figure out whodunnit. Moving on to The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison - it is quite different from the first book (Goblin Emperor) but I'm liking it as it looks like another murder mystery starring Celehar instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Read the second set of Left Behind: The Kids. I think it's gotten a little better, and the events are decently handled, but there's a lot of telling, and not showing. I'm waiting until the really funky stuff starts happening to decide how much I'm actually enjoying it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Sedai Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 The Psmith series, by P. G. Wodehouse. One of my go-to comfort reads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I've started getting to the 'funky stuff', (collection three) and my initial thoughts stand. I did remember that this is technically a tie-in series, and the main series might be better, so maybe after this one, I'll read that. Also read Terciel and Elinor, by Garth Nix. It was good, but I don't have much inclination to read Sabriel. Plan to start The Pillars of the Earth in the next couple of days. That one might be a bit of a hit-or-miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
