A few I've read at least twice and will definitely read again at some point:
Hitchhikers guide part 1 is worth it for the forward alone not to mention the book itself
It's 2025 and I'm reading Slaughterhouse Five again. So it goes.
Poo tee weet 👍
Poo too weet
I believe the last book of dust is slated for this year unless I’m mistaken
Yeah, I think so, but I think it was also slated for 2024, and possibly even 2023! It'll come, and I'd rather he takes his time to get it right, but still, very impatient! 😁
Yeah, it was at least slated for 2024 at some point. I finished the second one early last year, and as December rolled closer I realized that wasn’t going to happen. Same thing happened to a few others I’m waiting for I believe. Alecto and white wing, dark star. I think Alecto is tentative for this year but I have no idea on white wing, dark star
Just looked it up and someone on Reddit six days ago said BoD3 is finished and will hopefully be out this year! Woop!!
I've not heard of those others, will need to check them out 👍
I love the locked tomb books (Gideon, harrow, Nona the ninth, with Alecto the upcoming one). A cheeky description would be lesbian necromancers in spaaaace. I really really like the dark star trilogy as well, but that is harder for me to throw out recommendations for, it can be brutal. A lot of gory violence, and a fair share of sexual violence as well. Black leopard, red wolf and moon witch, spider king each have separate narrators with their own distinct histories, but then their stories intertwine around the same mission and its consequences, and their tales are relayed to an inquisitor who is interrogating them. They are both unreliable narrators and they HATE each other, but there may be more to it. White wing, dark star will be the last one, with a third narrator, and will be more horror focused I believe
Thank you for such detail, they sound really cool.
Also, "spaaaaace"! 😁
