The bit where Michael says Spoiler What happened to your blasting rod? Wow! :-O Edited July 8, 2020 by Snorkel
aneonfoxtribute Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 The joke where Rand, Mat, and Perrin all think that the others are better with girls than they are started out pretty good. Now it's starting to become a bit overused.

Snorkel Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Chapter 1 of Turn Coat (Jim Butcher, Dresden Files) Wow, this book sure started out strong!

I'm a little slow, cautious in thought really because I don't want to hurt anyone with my tremendous strength. It's like a locksmith's puzzle... 3

revelryintheart she/her Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Right now I'm reading A Fine and Pleasant Misery by Patrick F. McManus. It's a collection of funny, sarcastic stories about hunting, camping, and outdoor life. I would recommend it both to the most fanatical outdoorsman or the laziest couch potato.

aneonfoxtribute Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Theory time for Wheel of Time: Spoiler The arches that the novices have to go through to become Accepted take them to actual alternate universes, same as the Portal Stones.
Darkfinder she/her Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Rereading Well of Ascension Its so slow.
Rushu42 she/her Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 I've just started reading Game of Thrones, so we'll see how that goes. The TV show seemed a bit gory for my liking, but so far (500 pages in to book 1) it looks really good.

And the wait for the final books could be a very long time, if they're ever finished. Just, if those are important to you before you get too invested.

Does it get a lot worse after the first book?

Snorkel Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Jim Butcher - Changes. Oh boy, and I thought the first page of the previous book was gripping. The first SENTENCE of this one is just :-O
aneonfoxtribute Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Finished Grave Peril's audiobook. Can I just say that I'm really sick of every female ally either not being in the book much (pretty much all the ones introduced per book except for Murphy and Susan) or doing stupid things and not listening to Dresden at all (Murphy and Susan). The one werewolf girl from the second book is the only one that is neither. I really hope that the next books have females that actually do things that aren't really stupid and just put them in danger for no reason Edited July 14, 2020 by aneonfoxtribute

aneonfoxtribute Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Good, I hope it does. I'm enjoying the series, but man, does seeing these people make such massive mistakes for no little reason and not doing enough to bounce back from it (like Harry himself does, dude makes a lot.of mistakes but his aren't nearly as obvious and he always makes up for it) I can see getting old very quickly.
Quiver he/him Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Recently finished Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey, which I enjoyed; very different tone from a lot of fantasy that I'm more familiar with.
aneonfoxtribute Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Oh boy, I am very excited. In Chapter 30 of The Dragon Reborn. Spoiler Mat just got supernatural luck. I love me a character with supernatural luck. It makes things super interesting.

This is what I was talking about when I said I give Dragon Reborn credit where it’s due for cementing my series favorite character.
aneonfoxtribute Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Oh Chapter 31 of Dragon Reborn. Spoiler Did Thom start that civil war in Cairhein by killing that guy? Because if so thats great
Condensation she/her Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 I'm re-reading Hunger Games, but kinda getting bored with the books at my house. I will make a trip to the library soon, any suggestions? I'm thinking Gail Carson Levine, Cinder, Gregor the Overlander, Alex Rider, This Savage Song, Randoms, and Watched(by Cindy Hogan). I've read them all before, but they are worthwhile good reads.(is that proper grammar?)
