Big thanks to @JaymesRS@literature.cafe and @misericordiae@literature.cafe for all the work they do to arrange these!


As for books, reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). Didn't get much time, but slowly making progress.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I have started a reread of This Inevitable Ruin, Dungeon Crawler Carl #7, just to refresh myself before the new book releases in a ~~few weeks.~~ week!

Path of Daggers (WoT 8) is on a bit of a hiatus, stuck at about 30% done with it, by chapter count anyway. Not that I don’t want to finish it, but have put it off for DCC. WoT will be there, but I don’t want to accidentally get spoiled on the new DCC book haha.

DCC or Wheel of Time? Thoughts on either? Haha

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

DCC. I was expecting it to be a little more traditional in terms of 'fighting through a dungeon' but things immediately got more interesting when Carl started engineering exploits and has the added wrinkle that it's also being livestreamed. As someone with far too much time spent in MMOs, this was actually a remarkably realistic take on how someone would approach challenges in the dungeon. Though, it's not as laugh-out-loud funny as I'd hoped, it is amusing.

I started doing the same thing with the inevitable ruin, then realized I do not remember nearly as much as I should, and started rereading the entire series.

I have just found out there is a recap chapter in my books! Might just have to read all of those haha.

I must have skipped them all on my first read cause it’s before the prologue. And I think my e-reader jumps to the prologue by default.

Yeah…. I should have started a proper re-read a few months back haha.
