I'm excited for The Last Kingdom, which is indeed my jam -- strawberry, elderberry, grape . . . you name it, and it's my jam. When the Quilluminati convene, someone will have to bring the peanut butter. It's a safe prediction that I won't read Rhythm of War in time to pick up Wind and Truth, but I'm excited for you and Jakob going to Dragonsteel -- what a blast it shall be! Far from being a captain, I'm still a relative newcomer to One Piece, but I'm excited to chat with you and the rest of the crew about it in February. Happy reading, John!

I'm still reading them so it'll carry over: *Fantasy* Fitz & the Fool 2: Fool's Quest - A third in, brilliant stuff. This and Assassin's Fate will probably be it in terms of my Fantasy reads for 2024... unless i bite the bullet and re-read A Game of Thrones or something... or continue Wars of Light & Shadow with the 3rd arc😅 *Historical-Fiction* Boudicca 1: Dreaming the Eagle

I've been cultivating better habits these last few months, which I think are sustainable, and I love getting to such a large variety of stories. I'm wrapping up Return of the King this week, will likely squeeze in Wild Skies: A Yeehaw Dragons Story over Thanksgiving, and then I'll toss in Long After Midnight and A Time of Changes to round out the month. I'll start of December with The Hobbit and then The Gallant.

@@Talking_Story oh it is. Found my favourite horror author this year with Karl Edward Wagner and really loving Julie M. Day's fantasy duology «Sagakvartetten» so far.

I'm all about breaking out the Sestra. Mine is a half blue heeler, quarter lab, quarter pit. He's seven now so he's not so much of an all around home-wrecker like he was before. Jacob, whenever someone has a channel that is sure to explode, with people spending creative time to reach out to you, make fun of you, and love you, someone always has to take the blame. You are an awesome video producer, and mayhaps even it might be the truth that you are the best just like they say on the KZbins. But you know it's Pooh that carries this whole channel, unrigged elections and all... Satire!

I actually DNF'd The Last Kingdom a month ago....pretty boring, lots of telling and not showing...felt more like a history book than a good fiction. Disappointing.
