Been immersed in this from down in Moab up to the Black Hills and can easily say it’s one of the greatest American novels. So eye opening and entertaining. Makes me wish I were cowboy and wish I could stay out here forever.

Ya ya ya, but with a brogue and full cast in dramatized audio. Interesting twist on the revolutionary battles in futuristic war games.

People swear by this series, although they say it starts a little YA (it does, but the concept interests me (mining on Mars)).

I listened to this all day, and it was awesome everywhere: doing chores, buying fishing and camping gear, working out and going to see Project Hail Mary with the book club.

What a day. These passages were epic. Feels like an awakening or coming to a better understanding of the forces just beyond our world. Let me know if you see this and end up reading it.

This Magic seems awfully real, and it’s awesome that it’s just different enough than old Celtic beliefs in the Fae and the Tuatha dé Dandann. Felorian and the fae world are just like the Otherworld come to life. Required reading!

I decided to listen to this again a couple of days ago and haven’t stopped once it hit its stride. One of the best stories ever, so far.

Love to listen in constant movement. Life hack: put books like these on and work out until you finish 🤷‍♂️

Started this awhile back, but listened to it under the stars tonight while finding a camping spot. It has a great magic architecture and decent lore so far.

Finished the first 15 chapters throughout the day and loving it. Pretty simple and quick read due to the first person and short list of characters.

Only got halfway through last month’s book club book, but it is pretty funny. Nobody met, so I put this on pause.

Finished part one. I get the hype, but I prefer to be playing it and thinking these things in my head instead of hearing the voice that’s a little cliché either in tone or diction. Not sure, but all that is to say there are some fun parts and super crude humor that show he’s got most of the vernacular for various video game genres. Doubt I’ll read book two though.

Had to start this one after it got banned in Utah. Powerful read so far. Need to get back into this groove.
