It was good and held my attention. Pace and dialogue felt right and the mystery didn’t feel too cliche. I was dumb and read the plot for the next two books so I’m not as eager to continue, but I am looking forward to how the next season of the TV series goes.
Just finished Wool, first book in the Silo series
Yes! In the spirit of posting, some of the things I’d like to see more engagement in (and I’ll do my part) are television, movie, and book communities. On reddit I loved discussing the latest episodes of my favorite shows or hearing about theories in the books I’m reading.
White Lotus nooo!
If it’s to hang out with friends then those private karaoke rooms are a lot of fun
I just discovered Ground News. It’s interesting because they rate news articles from sources based on their biases and factuality.
So for example they will post a headline and list all the news sources reporting on it and rate how left or right leaning it is overall, plus they seem to do a good job with rating how factual it is. I’ve found it helpful and what I was craving from the news.
This makes me think of the time I went to a haunted maze type place. The friend I was with was pretty terrified (normal reaction) and when one of the costume monsters chased her into a corner with her hiding her face and screaming, a bunch of random people started filming her and putting their phones basically in her face. I yelled at them to leave and they just started filming me.
I just imagine how many YouTube and TikTok videos we are in without us knowing.
The experience reading Good Omens when I was younger is one I want to capture again. I had so much fun and the pages flew by. I like the current series on Prime also.
I had trouble with American Gods for some reason…like my mind kept wandering and I wasn’t that into it.
I did like the Guards! Guards! Discworld book…you just reminded me they exist!
Oh yes! I’ve listened to the audiobook and was captivated. It’s now my benchmark for how good narration should be for an audiobook.
It looks interesting! How “dense” is it…like are there lots of names to remember or world building to understand? I struggle a bit with that if the plot isn’t moving quickly enough.
I just started Slewfoot! I won’t read the spoiler but am definitely feeling the sluggish part. It’s still holding my attention though.
