  1. I'm rereading Ender's Game for the sixth or seventh time, and....... It's just so good. It's a masterpiece of literature. No matter how many times I read this book, I love it!!  

    Ender's Shadow and the rest of the shadow series is also quite fantastic and I plan on reading it right after I finish this :D

      @Szeth's Facepalm you should ABSOLUTELY do a reread! 

      I should read the rest of the Ender Saga. Never got around to it somehow. The first two books of the shadow saga are amazing and the other 3 (?) are less good but still great

      The shadow saga got more interesting as I got older, I thought.

      I absolutely agree. The politics and intelligent writing just got better and better. likewise, the Demosthenes and Locke chapters in Ender's game used to be my least favorite, but are probably my favorite ones now.

  2. When you have the flu so you can't sleep so you're just going to be reading and watching stuff and being on the shard all night long. There are worse things :lol:

      Yes, there are worse things. Try to enjoy your inability to do things as much as possible, because otherwise you';; just feel bad.

  3. Oh my goodness the Across the Spider-Verse trailer looks so good! I can't wait!!!

  4. Your content count is 666 :P just noticed lol

  5. Happy birthday!

  6. Under no circumstances should you ever look up memes for fun while utterly exhausted. You will end up on the floor crying and unable to talk coherently for 15 minutes. :)

    On another note, I finished The Final Gambit today. It's the third book in the Inheritance Games series, and it's fantastic. Highly recommend to everyone

      But what if I WANT to end up on the floor, crying an unable to talk coherently for 15 minutes?

      In that case you definitely should look up memes while utterly exhausted :lol:

  7. I went snowshoeing this morning! It was absolutely gorgeous. Nothing beats Idaho mountains.

      Yes! Part of me how's the snow never melts! But that would prevent food and stuff from growing so<_<

  8. I watched the first episode of Wednesday last night! I'm enjoying it a lot! 

  9. Sooooooooo

    I finished Stellarlune (KOTLC 9)

    Spoilers for opinion

    Spoiler

    It..... kinda sucked. Apologies if you thought it was good. I've just been ruined by Sanderson and other amazing authors, and I couldn't get behind anything that happened :(

    Spoilers for actual plot

    Spoiler

    The only good thing was the Team Foster-Keefe finally happened! But it happened in a way that annoyed me a lot so....

    Overall it was meh. I'll continue to read new ones, I just didn't love this

      eh, I get why you wouldn't like it.

      Imo, I thought it was one of the best Kotlc books yet.

      It solved a few issues regarding how legacy and flashback were for me.

      Spoiler

      Yeah it was actually a really good book and probably one of the best, I just enjoyed the experience of reading it so much less probably because I'm older now and spoiled sadly

       

  10. I found The Lost Metal at my library on 7 day loan, and I just finished it last night!!! It's so good!

  11. I just found The Lost Metal at the library!!!! I'm so excited! 

    On another note, I was forced to drive to the library in 3-4 inches of snow, and the car, through no fault of mine, slid all the way down a hill towards a very busy road. I almost had a heart attack, but we stopped before we got to the road thankfully!!
