Spren of Kindness she/her Posted December 9, 2021 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
Flying she/her Posted December 9, 2021 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
Robin Sedai she/her Posted December 9, 2021 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
Ironwill2112 he/him Posted December 9, 2021 Posted December 9, 2021 Reading Cytonic! Its been a wile since I've read a Sanderson book. And oh how I've missed it! Got hooked immediately and am continuing to lose sleep over the book! 2
Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 I am working on a reread of the stormlight archive and I am also reading the Silmarilion by Tolkien. 1
The Unknown Medallion he/him Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Why do you need to say who wrote the Silmarillion? Reading the Middle Falls Time travel series again.
Robin Sedai she/her Posted December 14, 2021 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. Edited December 14, 2021 by Robin Hatter 2
Orlion Blight he/him Posted December 14, 2021 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!
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted December 16, 2021 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.
Use the Falchion Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Top Books of 2021: Thrawn Trilogy Skyward Flight novellas Top Comics and Manga First Read in 2021: Batman: Wayne Family Adventures High School Family Komi Can't Communicate Mighty Morphin' Demon Slayer Witch Watch 1
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted January 1, 2022 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.
Morningtide she/her Posted January 3, 2022 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.
2EmLee2 Posted January 5, 2022 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

Orlion Blight he/him Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Finished The Orchard Keeper by Cormac Mccarthy. Currently reading Letters to Camondo by Edmund de Waal.
Kasimir he/him Posted January 5, 2022 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.
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted January 7, 2022 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.
Robin Sedai she/her Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 The Psmith series, by P. G. Wodehouse. One of my go-to comfort reads.

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.
aneonfoxtribute Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Oh right. I started reading Gideon the Ninth, Jade City, and Kingdom of Liars
urrutiap Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Im currently reading Stephen King's Eyes of the Dragon. Been a long long time since I read it back in the mid late 1990s
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 Left Behind: The Kids collection four. I still don't know how I feel about these books. Also, some friendly advice; don't read Neil Shusterman's Unwind before bed. Just don't.
aneonfoxtribute Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 I finished Jade City. That was great. I read half the book in one day. Went from page 257 to the end of the book at 495
