Really liked Ready Player One and happy that I finally finished Dune. Didn't like my pick for LGBTQIA, it felt more like a BDSM story starring lesbians. Happy this category is returning and hopefully this time I will read something with more substance.
Cozy Mystery was the hardest for me to find something for.

Yeah, I bullshitted alot of unappealing books in school. Also I do talk about some books like I've read them even though I've only seen the movies. Or sometimes make comparisons to 1984 or Animal Farm without having read either :)

- A book relesed after the authors death. Bonus if the author did not ask for it to be published. Double bonus if the release went against the expressed wishes of the author.
- A book you claim to have read, or discuss like you did, but never have.

Yeah, almost everything I've read the authors are very hush-hush about their age.
I found an interview with one of the co-writers of the book i ended up using where he said something like "we are both in our 40s now" and extrapolated from that :)

Nice, thanks! I just binged the show, movie and all the comics in chronological order. Will try to get a hold of the issues of this one, don't wanna wait for the tpb :)

Actually, I had a look at some old award winners and I am sure I can muster through the latest Serenity graphic novel :)

There's a bunch of discworld plays: https://www.goodreads.com/series/9930...
Apparently I already read the Mort one thou... So I have to do something else. You are welcome to borrow it if you want Pocki

Hi. I'm Thomas from southern Sweden.
I didn't take part last year as I've only been on Goodreads for a handful of months.
I'm mostly worried about the Choice Awards category. The first two are a bit scary too.
The rest are gonna be fun on a bun. Dune for desert, the new Jenny Lawson for biography, something Star Wars for tie in. And finally a reason to read my Mort - play version. :)
