😍😍😍

It’s so good!

So excited for book 7 and the tv series!

Jensen Ackles would crush the role of Carl Glurp Glurp!

So glad you are loving the series. I'm been screaming about it from the rooftops since book 1 came out. It's the cream of the LitRPG crop right now! Super glad you made the video to spread the word!!

"WARNING! The following comment is so wholesome that it's clearly a trap. You find it." Leslie, I can't tell you how well timed this upload is. I started DCC at the beginning of August, and like you, I've binged it. All six. Twice. I've laughed more in the last three weeks than I think I ever have to a book. Funnily, I'm NOT a gamer, never have been, but the gaming elements were still easily accessible to me. I'm sure I'm missing some obvious game in-jokes but it really doesn't matter. I've been doing the audible too and agree completely that Jeff Hayes is fantastic. To my everlasting frustration though, now I have to wait over a year for the next book. Dammit. The AI is my fave too. I will say that as I went into books four through six, the deeper story is getting SUPER intriguing and the writing has added some deeply emotional moments, along with the belly-laughs I've done some ugly crying too. Simply wonderful. "ACHIEVEMENT! You have joined a *bandwagon* of hype! You have allowed social pressure to determine a reading choice." "REWARD?! You just had an enjoyable reading experience that led to content that received comments that in turn engaged the algorithm. You're a book tuber. That's reward enough."

Also Leslie, I loved Daniel Barnett's "Nightmare Land Cronicles".

Litrpg is my favorite genre now after fantasy and scifi, I havent started DCC but am looking forward to it.

I was just looking for a new LitRPG, so this is perfect timing. I'll definitely give it a try!

I love this series, been following it for years! It was one of those things that I picked up to be a pulpy read and it turned out to be really great.

This series is amazing so many tropes but I belive its to be animated.

I’m obsessed with this series. Book five is my favorite

Glurp glurp!!

Lezlie do you have an early arc of The Land of the Living of the Dead? I plan on downloading the first DCC audio soon!!

Thanks for the kind words!

I have the first book before Chasm and I am excited to get to it!

Your hair looks amazing, Lezlie. This week I read: *Comics* Thor God of Thunder: God Butcher Written by Jason Aaron | Art by Esad Ribic - I finally got around to reading the whole thing, Fantastic! Someone is going around the universe slaying deities, and we see that individual's affect on Thor in 3 stages of his life, the young warrior not yet worthy of Mjolnir, the current Thor, and Thor the Old King of Asgard and we see Thor grapple with his own divinity and striving to be a god worthy of worship. I'm not religious, I'm not spiritual but I'd follow Marvel's Thor. *Fantasy* Wars of Light & Shadow 2: Ships of Merior - Brilliant. Can't wait to continue! As for what I'm currently reading: *Comics* Astonishing X-Men Complete Collection Volume 1 Written by Joss Whedon | Art by John Cassaday - I read bits here and there as a kid but now I'm going back to the beginning. I've dipped my toes here and there over the years as the X-Men comics always intimidated me (despite my love of the cartoons and films, well some of them) but I'm finally doing it. Green Lantern Book One Written by Geoff Johns | Art by Ethan Van Scriver - I read Secret Origins years ago which really endeared me to Hal cuz growing up my Green Lanterns were Alan Scott because I was reading Justice Society and John Stewart because of the cartoons. *Fantasy* Malazan BotF 2: Deadhouse Gates (re-read) - Culling of nobles, religious uprising, and a refugee crisis await the Malazan Empire! *Mystery* Mystic River / Dennis Lehane Not much else going on with me other than passing my weight loss goal for the year.

Love the hair! 😘 . . I will definitely give Sleep Tight a read. And I am going to be reading DCC, but it is apparently going to take a while to wait my turn. 😅

Love the fresh hair look! I recently cut mine a lot shorter again as well, but now it's at that awkward length where it is annoying in my neck, yet a little bun or pony tail doesn't quite work either, so that is not ideal in the summer 🤣 Anyway, YAY for Return of the Griffin, I am getting ready to dive into book 5 asap and I can't wait! And I really can't seem to escape the DCC hype hahah, glad you are having so much fun. My standouts this week were Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle (new favourite horror!! great on audio as well) and Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors. Also finally started watching The Last of Us and idk how I have been sleeping on this amazing show for so long!!

Why not get in touch with you inner Steve Irwin and go wrestle some gators while doing some disk golf? Adventure all round!

Shorter hair in the heat is a blessing! Sleep Tight sounds tense! Have a great rest of your weekend!

Hair on the neck when it’s hot & humid? Noooo! I listened to the last two JH Markert ARCs & I keep checking but the third one isn’t available. I pre-ordered on Libby 😁 it looks even better than the last 2. DCC …. YESSSS …. The worst part is waiting for the next book!! I would reread them & watch you all talk about them if I can.

I read summer reading by jenn McKinley Summer on sag harbor by sunny hostin sequel to summer on the bluffs My fault by Mercedes ron and the mystery guest by nita prose i absolutely enjoyed it

Hair looks good! I had mine cut to cool me off in Atlanta next weekend.

Omg I love this

The Author is local to me and I've had the opportunity to meet them twice (our local indie bookstore always has signed copies of all their books). I'm slowly making my way through all their books.

I’ll come back after I read the first book.

I love it! I plan to read mine this December for sure

Look at that cover! It's so cool!

Sounds like a series I need to pick up. Love the edition - 😍

I also caught the sneaky reference to Nettle & Bone! I love all of T. Kingfisher's books I've read so far, they are an auto-preorder author for me as well.

Just finished reading the book I really enjoyed it 5 stars

Why do aliens have to always destroy everything? Can we not find a friendly alien out there? Bea Wolf sounds super cute. With that said, I'd like to talk to Mr. Grendal about the stock market and investments :D Snow makes any scene 10x more suspenseful

I ended up liking it, but I'm not a character driven reader. I do agree with all of your critiques, though. I do say in my review that character work was not the goal with this book 🤣

Hmm. Sky in Fire sounds like something that wouldn't even be up my alley. Chorus of Dragons is more typical fantasy.

Ruin of Kings is good. I've heard Sky on Fire isn't.

Price

I loved this book so much. The ending was so nerve-racking my heart was racing

wait ...so that guy is famous?? 🤨🤨

Oh I hope The Exorcist's House Genesis comes out in physical form! I'm not a fan of my kindle anymore lol

Wow

Currently reading Wistful Ascending and loving it! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I absolutely LOVED Nettle and Bone 🖤 and I am very intrigued by this author, but I must admit that when it comes to horror, I’m a bit of a 🐓 I adored the dark and creepy ambient tone of Nettle and Bone (and the characters, especially the dust-wife and her devil Hen!). I’d like to know if her other, more “horror” books such as this, are really more scary or have enough corky humor to balance it off in the way Nettle and Bone did. I so want to read more of her work!

just got this one, Coates is hit or miss i liked Dead of Winter and Hunted but found some of hers boring.i got this one because its short stories and she is usually good on those

This was already on my wishlist but it sounds like it needs to be bumped up to the top.

Thanks for the review! I just read this one for my book club, too, and really enjoyed it as well.

As burnout and tired as I am with the MCU (I exclusively kept up with Spider-man post Endgame and didn't like them (i know, unpopular opinion 😅), I'm tempted to watch Deadpool & Wolverine. This week I finished: *Fantasy* Rain Wild Chronicles 1: Dragon Keeper - I'm glad I took a few months away to adjust expectations, its honestly not as "bad" as I was led to believe. Its fine. As for what I'm currently reading: *Fantasy* Wars of Light & Shadow 2: Ships of Merior - About 210 pages in, I'm not loving Dakar as a character but everything else is cool. Imagine if Robin Hobb took a Wheel of Time approach but with a Malazan-esque story. EDIT: i meant a Malazan approach to a WoT esque story 😅 *Horror / Thriller* Joe Ledger 1: Patient Zero - About a third of the way through, its picked. Simultaneously, Joe is a badass but also reads a bit too much like a power fantasy. *Western* Streets of Laredo / Larry McMurtry - Slowly chipping away, I'm loving catching up with some of our returning characters from Lonesome Dove.

Ye mujhe bhi chahiye

DCC is just the best and I am obsessed!!!

I can't wait till The Measure finds its way to my tbr. ❤ Oo I am dying to see Deadpool and Wolverine. John and I have been trying to find the right time to see that one.
