I'm a little over halfway through Children of Memory and loving it, listening on Audiobookshelf (πŸ₯°)

Just finished Star Wars: Path of Deceit yesterday, next in order is Convergence, but I'm still kind of hesitant to start.

I just finished The Fold. I’m not sure if I liked it or not. It started strong and then just went off the rails a bit. I don’t really like long drawn out fight sequences in books, movies , etc. and then it just ended without much resolution. Maybe the ending was to setup more books?

I loooved The Fold. You and everyone else is waiting for Peter Clines to write more books in the Threshold series.

Just about finished with Mistborn: The Final Empire on GraphicAudio. I wasn't too interested in the plotlines at the balls, but find the parts about allomancy fascinating.

Late to the party, but me too. I love Michael Kramer who is narrating mine, and its one of my favourite series' to date

Quantum Radio by A.G. Riddle.

Similar style to Bobiverse books. I dig it. Listening on audiobookshelf too!

After seeing the new and the campy old Dune movies, I've been listening to the first book. About 1/3 through. I love the writing, but I find myself exhausted with the trope of "creepy bad fat man loves to abuse young boys". I imagine that this book influenced the same character archetype in the first Eve Online novel. But, as a gay man, it feels very frustrating like gay pedophilia is somehow being characterized as /the worst pedophilia/ when ALL of it is abhorrent. The gay themes just added to increase the "ick" factor for the common straight reader even more? To really seal in the evilness? Idk, it's annoying, especially when there's so much anti-lgbt hate being spread with accusations of pedophilia and grooming, but it seems non-lgbt individuals are making these art... Rant about harmful tropes aside, I am surprised by how well both movies stuck to the main events, although the book is much more likeable than either. The audio file is... Around online.

I had previously read Dune so I thought I'd have a go at listening to the whole series. 28 books. Idk , maybe it's doable. The first one is pretty good / ok. A bit basic but that's ok for a book at bedtime.

I've never been able to talk myself into tackling the Dune books. They've been around so long that they feel a bit like paleo-sci-fi.

Here is a paleo-sci-fi I strongly recommend Free on librevox https://librivox.app/book/9317

From 1909

"Plot summary. The story describes a world in which most of the human population has lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual now lives in isolation below ground in a standard room, with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the omnipotent, global Machine."
