Bruh, Goodreads has a massive problem with fake accounts...

Today's the day I will go get this behemoth and buddy read it with a good friend of mine. We are going to reach chapters at the same pace, hoping it'll be fun!

It's immediately apparent what separates good, entertaining literature from...the rest. Genre doesn't matter as within one chapter I'm met with a compelling premise delivered with well enough in the written form that I can immediately see why it's in the works for a film.

Finally found something worth sinking my teeth into, cheers people!

Bruh, what's up with the fake accounts on this site...

I found myself thinking "this sounds like a YA novel" which was a thought I didn't think too much of until I saw 'YA writing'. Is it bad? No. Is it boring? Slightly. Is it painful? Yes.

I intended to treat this as a Star Wars novel, still do, except the writing felt off. Lo and behold, I remember the section I grabbed this in. Will be grabbing Scythe later down the line. My hopes here are dashed. Sorry Episode VI.

Just for a love of the game. Bought this at a used game store in the bargain bin about a year ago xD

I was hesitant to add this to Goodreads, because...Well, it just doesn't feel up for critique when I know there's a master behind it, ha! My reason for listing this is visiblity. This novel should be picked up if you're interested. Sadhguru is a master with precocious insight and there's not much else for me to say, he's alive and his words breathe. *nod*

Credit it where it's due, I enjoy John's writing. I just find some of the generalities boring for me. Granted we're not too far in the novel, I feel like it's a slow burn, which has its own charm, but I'm tempted to skim.

The thrill of the hunt from the first novel was what got me on this series, but if I drudge up the memories I think I felt the same way in the beginning. Here's to hopin` for the kick.

Terry's wordplay, the whimsicality of time, and the true magic of humor make this novel thoroughly enjoyable. It's so humanely relatable and clever I can't help smile after certain tangents about time - the way it works, the way it FEELS it works and how it all settles either way.

The hip bones connected to the - green bone. The green bone's connected to the -

No complaints here.

End of chapter 1. Getting some Mistborn vibes here thus far. Ironic too since I grabbed this book after listening to Sanderson and Dan Wells podcast where Dan listed Fonda Lee as his number one fantasy author (living). Never read one of Dan's books but I picked this up on his recommendation lol.

This is a buddy read. I recommended that we read something from V.E. Schwab because if we don't like the plot at least we can enjoy good writing. So far I'm liking Gallant. Solid prose, as expected, and there's enough crumbs left after each chapter to keep me reading.

It's not exactly my cuppa, but it's tasteful enough to want to finish the whole drink.

Anyone read these? Share my book thoughts....Every time I open Goodreads I'm sad(?) that I don't recognize any books or authors these days. Maybe it's my own self reflection but my reviews haven't been so great. I feel like I read everything I wanted to, and nothing has hit me with a wow factor in some time. I guess I'm sad that I might be done with books D:

I'll be done soon! To do a thorough, long winded review or to be simple and to the point. I have so much to say, but do I really want to say it?

I have been in the biggest reading slump.
