In Topic: Warhammer Books
15 February 2021 - 06:05 PM
Humble Bundle has a Warhammer bundle at least once or twice a year. Over the past couple of years, I've grabbed the first 15 Horus Heresy books, plus 3 later ones, and the first 6 Primarchs books, not to mention a ton of short stories and non-HH stuff.
Heck, there's one going on right now: https://www.humblebu...k-library-books -

I understand that perspective. I ended up really really enjoying it and the next book, This Book Is Full Of Spiders. Somehow the one upping of weirdness gets tolerable when Amy is involved heavily.
I haven't read the third book yet.
Spiders is a much more coherent story than JDatE, but it loses a lot of the madcap zaniness that made the first book so charming. -

Finished Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Untamed Shore the other night. A great thriller that feels like I'm doing it a disservice by calling it "a thriller". Really good book.
Now I'm reading a collection of her older short stories called Love and Other Poisons (love that title.) I'm actually a little disappointed so far, given how much I've loved everything else she's written. I guess it should be expected her older stories are rougher, and I'm only like two stories in, so I'm still optimistic. -

I blitzed through the last Gameshouse story laaate last night. Absolutely fantastic, though I do wish the last two stories weren't so similar in conceptSpoilerThe second story might be my favorite of the three.
I've only got End Of Days left, so I might just have to read that next. -
In Topic: 2020 FAVOURITE BOOKS AND COMICS OF THE YEAR
18 December 2020 - 09:37 PM
In 2020 I did the same thing as in 2019, which was: get tired of books in the spring, then read tons of comics until the fall, when I'd suddenly get back into books again. This year I read 5 books prior to early March (God, that feels like years ago) and then read a Claire North book in June, before getting back on the wagon in September and reading 9 more books. I also read, um... 1,416 comic issues this year holy crap (!)(?)
TOP 5 FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2020 REALIZING I ONLY READ 15 BUT WHATEVER:
Honorable Mention: Beneath the Rising by Premee Mohamed - Felt this one needed a shoutout. A fun Lovecraftian adventure where the friendship between the main characters is the star.
5. Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir - Tons of fun. Would have made way more sense if I reread Gideon first, though.
4. The Pursuit of William Abbey by Claire North - Probably underrated in this list. The gimmick behind the story is kinda clunky, but what North does with it is beautiful.
3. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia - A solid gothic horror novel from a great author.
2. Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins-Reid - Literally could not put this one down. Read it over two veeeery late nights/mornings.
1. The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon - I think Abyss hated this one, but man did I adore it. Everything I could possibly want in a standalone epic fantasy doorstopper, with the exception of maybe a little more climactic of an ending.
