Any recommendations for good cosmic horror?

[โ€“] dresden@discuss.online 3 points 4 days ago

Going to check Educated out, thanks for the info!

[โ€“] dresden@discuss.online 1 points 5 days ago

Interesting. Never heard of it before. Seems like worth a read.

[โ€“] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah, that isn't much. Will add it to my list.

[โ€“] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 5 days ago

I read it online recently, so should be the latest version.

I enjoyed the world building, and the writing is good, it's just the two main characters that I have some issue with. Probably just not for me.

[โ€“] dresden@discuss.online 3 points 5 days ago

It's one of my favourite series, have fun!

[โ€“] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Have heard good thing about it. Do share your review when you complete it.

[โ€“] dresden@discuss.online 3 points 5 days ago

I have a Baxter and Arthur C. Clarke's novel, didn't know he also wrote with Pratchett, will take a look.

Children of Time series is pretty well liked here, so would love to hear if you don't like it.

Heh. Thanks for the feedback. This week's thread is already up, but will add it from next week!

Thanks for the info!

 

Reading the third book in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, Tripwire

Liking this more than the second book. Reacher was very passive in that book, so it's nice to see him taking action in this one.

Read My Roommate is a Vampire by Jenna Levine.

It's a rom-com, which I don't generally read, so I can't judge if it was actually good or not. Personally, it felt too much like one of those K-Dramas, where a poor girl meets super rich guy, who is super handsome, and she keeps thinking about her all the time. Except this one has a Vampire. Not a big fan, but overall it was a fine time pass.

Finished Ghost Story by Jim Butcher.

That was some story! Quite different, but also quite similar (to the rest of the series). Also, part of the ending was expected, but was surprised by the rest. Looking forward to where the story goes from here.

Also read The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. The first Witcher book.

I read it quite a while ago, but hadn't finished the series, so got a boxed set and reading it now. I had forgotten how Fairy Tales heavy this book is.

Bingo squares (for both boooks): Author from a Different Continent (hard mode), Now a Major Motion Picture, Short and Sweet, Based on Folklore, Off your TBR Pile, also possibly Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

Started next book in the Dresden Files series, Ghost Story by Jim Butcher. This is book 13, and is pretty unique so far. The previous book "Changes" has changed quite a bit, and now we are living those changes.

Can't put it down, want to see how it develops!

My previous book, Streams of Silver covers 2 bingo squares: Title: [X] of [Y] and Off your TBR pile (hard mode).

Life is still pretty busy, not getting much time for Lemmy, but at least got some time to read now.

Still reading Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore. Book 2 of the series. Am more than halfway through now, if nothing comes up, should be able to finish it this week.

Hello everyone!

Finished Amulet series by Kazu Kibushi.

Love the story and art-style. Highly recommended for fantasy fans, specially younger audience.

Read Changes by Jim Butcher, book 12 of The Dresden Files.

I was expecting some "changes" due to the name and how people talk about the book, but wow, they changed everything. From the first line of the book to the last, it was fully captivating.

Wanted to start the next book right away, but held myself back.

Read Aftermath, the novella after Changes, from Side Jobs , short-story collection in Dresden Files world. This was the last story in the book, so I have officially finished Side Jobs too.

Many side stories are from point of view of different characters, and this was also from another character's point of view. So it was interesting to see how they view the world and hear their inner monologue.

Looking forward to where the story goes from here.

Started Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore, 2nd novel in Icewind Dale series, which is a subseries of Forgotten Realms series (D&D world).

Just started it, haven't even completed chapter 1, so can't say much about it.
