What are you reading this August?
I'm on book 5 of Mage Errant by John Beirce. Came across it on Kindle Unlimited and it's been pretty fun. Short reads, progression fantasy mildly YA, but I'm enjoying them.
What are y'all reading?
hoping to get to green bone, finally!
Just subscribed to this community, so I am missing a bit of the previous comments.
Not reading much at the moment, but happy to have found you guys (my last interaction with the [email protected] left me a bit skeptical with the moderation there: https://lemmy.ml/post/2474733)
We are still pretty new, but we're trying :D
That's the spirit!
I'm finally reading through Tress of the Emerald Sea - it looks like i dropped it the chapter before it got good - oops.
Will probably read through the rest of the secret projects then (probably next month) finish my Diskworld readthrough (not the Shepard's Crown though!)
Edit: the discworld reread was delayed by an unscheduled reread of the Blue Core trilogy (a dungeon core/litrpg)
Any reason in particular you're not reading the last book?
Just can't bring myself to read his last book. I even got it in hardback!
Oooh, the Blue Core Trilogy. So much potential on that one. With some tightening of plot and more character depth it could very well have been Great instead of merely Good.
Yeh, I don't think he did any additional editing when turning them into ebooks unfortunately. Some of the pacing could have done with some work.
What characters did you want more depth with?
I am currently reading Reaper, book 10 in the Cradle series by Will Wright. So far enjoying the series.
Also on re-reading Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett for my endless Discworld re-read.
Oh Reaper was really nice, you have some great stuff coming up in the next books. I finished Cradle this summer and it was SO good. Very satisfying finish.
I'm still on my first go-through of Discworld. I've read City Watch, a few standalones and am on the Witches books now. Next up is Maskerade.
Glad to hear it has a satisfying end. I have been quite enjoying the series so far. I need to figure out what I am going to read next, as I'm nearing the end of Cradle. I am thinking of starting the Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds, as I usually like to go back and forth between fantasy and sci-fi, but I'm always open to recommendations.
How do you like it so far? The Discworld series is my personal favorite, so I am always happy to see people getting into it! If you are enjoying it, you should check out [email protected].
I'm not sure if this falls within the purview of this community but I've been rereading the comic Kill Six Billion Demons. It's got incredible otherworldly art, a strange universe that's incredibly detailed beyond the comic if you read the lore the author puts in the comments. It starts with a normal girl who gets pulled in to this world trying to save her boyfriend but it becomes so much more. I recommend starting with page one and avoiding the front page until catch up.
