    I tried to start this the other day and couldn't get very far. I may not have been in the right headspace though. I loved AJ Fikry, been wanting to reread it.

    Like at least five others, I'm about to hit play on the first Brandon Sanderson secret project as my first book of the year. Also reading the book @theagentcoma got me last year in our fantasy book gift exchange (join us next year if you like fantasy/sci-fi/horror!).

    I've set a goal of 30 minutes of reading with my eyes (it's hilarious I have to make this distinction) every day until April 1st, so hoping to put a big dent in my nonfiction backlog that I've built up over the years.

    My big goal for the year is to read every Malazan book, but I'm trying to finish a list of audiobooks before I start that. Hopping into a new half marathon training program, so hoping to get back into my regular rhythm that let me read 250 books in 2020-2021.

    Are you planning to read Malazan with your eyes or other means?

    I’ve got the first 21 books (or so) in my Audible account due to how bad of a financial decision I make every time they do the site wise 85% off sale.

    I read this recently and it was cute fun with some nice nostalgia but I didn't feel it was groundbreaking. Sometimes that's what I want from novels though so it was okay and that's alright! Hopefully you get some enjoyment from it!

    I also started SP1 and it's really nice. Reads so different because of the scenario and i'm excited for more. I'd love to read Malazan but my goal is to read ASOIAF (ive never read that in full)!

    I wasn’t that excited by the preview of Tress, so I’m in legit shock how much I love it. Pitch perfect YA fantasy.

    1. Stella Maris - Cormac McCarthy

    How was this? I got both books in a half price sale and they look amazing, at least!

    Both were really good! Highly recommend them. Finished Light Pirate late last night. Both were a bit distressing in their own right, but there was also a lot of joy in The Light Pirate.

    Have you read The Passenger?

    I have not, no. I wasn't even sure which order to read them in.
     
  23. Chcurry182

    Trusted Supporter

    Honestly, I think you could read them in any order you wanted. Since McCarthy released Passenger first its probably best to start that with that one.
