  1. this is on my to-read list, but it's so long and feels like a major commitment. same with Brandon Sanderson books
  2. in a similar vein: what books to you want to read in 2024 that you're most excited for?
  3. ooo this sounds really interesting Of Blood and Fire is on my TBR too!!! it's independently published too, which is an added bonus
  4. same!!!!!!!!!!! the US versions are so much prettier than the european ones though and i'm a little jealous now that i'm at my laptop, my top reads of the year (not including re-reads and not necessarily all my 5 stars): Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone Babel by R.F. Kuang A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy The Licanius Trilogy by James Islington
  5. I finished my year with this duology and LOVED it
  6. ok everybody, what were your best books of the year?
  7. appropriate to have a fish running the fish
  8. that's so fair, I'm a sucker for intricate world building, even when it's not directly always propelling the plot. which makes it easier for me to get through them
  9. The Poppy War is the best war epic fantasy I've ever read. Kuang does really impressive work in the genre ESPECIALLY as a debut. I've read all her books, and I liked Poppy War the best. I don't re-read books, but I will be re-reading that trilogy!!!
  10. on a related note, Palestinians have said that resources are being restricted and are requesting that donations to organizations sending said resources be paused until they're able to actually access them. if we decide to go that route, we would need to monitor conditions on the border to optimally support
  11. i didn't even realize i'd be eligible for this lol
  12. ratings out of 10 are out. smash or pass is in
  13. I don't, generally speaking, track page count on books I've read, but I just started a 987 page book. what're the longest books y'all have committed to?
  14. also just realized that their roadmap is available to the public so you can see what the direction for the site looks like, this is actually killer. i am so pissed at fishy from the past for letting myself suffer through goodreads
  15. Yeah, kinda -- you can import your Goodreads library, which was super easy. The shelves translate too StoryGraph, too. For the recommendations, you can fill out an interest survey (that you can modify at any time), and it'll give you recs based on that. I haven't used the rec function yet, but it looks solid. Not sure if @aimkin or @Otis Boudreaux Jr have used it before, but worth asking Another notable perk of StoryGraph is that there are graphs that show trends in your reading history. I love graphs.
  16. also just created an account on StoryGraph, already prefer it over Goodreads!!!!!! fuck amazon
  17. WOOOOOOO this series was my guilty pleasure, and I've heard that her Throne of Glass series is just as good. If you wanna react to ACOTAR with someone, let me know!!!

  20. that's not backing in though thats pulling through!
