I really enjoy this community. You help me never to have an empty TBR pile.

That’s the gift and the curse of the community 😀

Yeah, it’s a lot more common in comics than in books.

How is the Fourth Wing?

Dark Matter is good, do try it and let us know what you think about it.

Not reading your spoilers, but have saved the comment, will check it out after reading a few more of Black Crouch’s books.

I have read first 4 (the trilogy and Best Served Cold) books in The First Law series, my issue with Abercrombie is how grimdark his writing is. I want more joy in my books. He writes pretty well though.

As per the wikipedia:

The eighth book was released in May 2026, with plans to complete the series with one additional volume split across two books.

So two more books.

Nice. I’ll see if my local bookstore has a copy.

What are you reading currently?

This DCC virus is spreading like Covid! We must do something!

You should read the Pines trilogy next and let us know how it is. People want to know!

I enjoyed DCC quite a bit, but it’s fine to not like books that everyone else seems to be liking. Life is too short to spend on books we aren’t enjoying. Though, nothing wrong with giving it another try either, so if it got you hooked that’s also good.

It is much more like video games, if you play them. Specially with the menu and the prompts, but yeah, that’s the general idea, and the appeal of the genre.

Thanks. Will try it after I finish couple of my current series.

Jules and Bun books have interesting names. I have added them to my list.

Dark Matter is very good. I have recommended it to couple of people, looking forward to see what they think about it.

How’s the Poppy Wars series? I got the trilogy a while back but haven’t gotten around to starting it yet.

I have only read about 3 of his books, but Scalzi has become one of those authors whose book I pickup without checking anything else. Have book 2 and 3 of Old Man’s War already in my TBR pile, and plan to get Starter Villain soon.

That murder series sounds interesting, going to check it out.

When I opened the book (Dark Matter) it mentioned his other books, including Wayward Pines series, that series has been on my wishlist for a long time, don’t even remember who recommended it and when. Will probably get that next.

That why there are decimal points. Go with 2.5!

Fantasy genre doesn’t typically have the RPG elements like the Achievement popups, actual leveling with stat points, narrators, and stuff like that.

Yeah, “Progression Fantasy” is a subgenre of fantasy, which deals with fantasy that has leveling up and things like that. Or at least that was my understanding.

Yes, it’s an interesting book. Would love to hear your thoughts when you get around to reading it.

I think you accidentally commented on main post, instead of replying to a specific comment.

Ooh, that’s interesting! Good luck!

Ah, that can be annoying. Thanks for the info!

Heh, no worries. I’ll see if I can get my hands on the first book, will try that and decide.
