Thanks for providing the nicely formatted list!
Skimming through the list, I don’t think I haven’t read anything from the list, except for A Song of Ice and Fire series (Game of Throne), though I do have some Cassandra Clare books that are in the list. Is this related to LGBTQ+? Seems to be, according to title of some books…
Oh, and Happy Cake Day!
Nothing wrong with posting 10-12 books in a post. You can just do a small review of everything you read since last week and give a small review. That can be interesting. Or you can just post the names as you read them. Whatever works for you.
Also, Bingo is just a way to gamify your reading, and can help you go out of your comfort zone and read something different. But of course, if you don’t care about it, nothing wrong with it.
Ahan, thanks for the info. Will check it out.
That’s a pretty great list. Congratulations on crossing 100 books count, and good luck with your goal of 200 books this year!
You might be interested in our Book Bingo ( https://lemmy.world/post/14905693 ). Links are on the sidebar. Also, we have a weekly thread about what you have been reading, or what you have read since you last posted. Would love to follow your journey there.
I read Sword of Truth series when I was pretty young and new to fantasy, so liked it a lot, but as you go further, there are many issues with the series. The author also has a unique point of view about fantasy, and his work vs other fantasy works, but that’s a separate thing.
I would love to hear your thoughts about it once you have read a few more books in the series.
How are you liking it? It’s on my wishlist, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Red Rising series is on my wishlist, people with similar taste to mine have recommended it to me a few times.
I agree about classics. While I enjoyed a few, there are many I didn’t appreciate, but I don’t like forcing them. If I feel like reading one, I do, if I don’t, I just let it go.
I have heard good things about the series. Glad to see you are enjoying them.
I just bought first 3 books of Jack Reacher series, going to try them out soon.
A month more and you could’ve hit a “reading for more than an year” benchmark 😀
Good luck on cheering up!
Ah, like that ‘Cursed Child’ Harry Potter book, whose existence I refuse to acknowledge.
Let me know what you think about Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel. It has been on my backlog for a long long time.
I haven’t read any side stories either, but I have got the first collection of short stories lined up, but I think only 2-3 are during first 8 books (where I am), rest are in the future, so going to read them along side main novels.
Thanks for the recommendation!
There’s a fourth? Isn’t it a trilogy?
From Manufacturing Consents to Sodom and Gomorrah to The Riddler. That’s a nice combination 😀
Which one are you liking the most?
The magicians
Lev Grossman’s? I read it a long time ago, and while it wasn’t a quick read, I remember enjoying it. Haven’t read any of the sequels though. Have been thinking about rereading the book and then getting the sequels.
Yeah, some of the books in the middle are pretty slow. Things get better from Book 10 though, or was it Book 11?
What If is on my wishlist, but haven’t gotten around to getting it yet. Never heard of The Planiverse before, but the concept sounds pretty interesting, will check it out.
Dark Matter (and his Wayward Pines trilogy, even before that) have been on my wishlist for quite a while now. Maybe I should pick it up now.
