Douglas’s Comments (group member since Jun 15, 2017)

Douglas’s comments from the Read, Reading, Planning to Read and More group.

Will be creating a few more moderators also when/if we get a few more members since I really don't want this to be perceived as "Doug's Forum"

One thing I HAVE noticed about this format is that taking a second to actually use that "Currently Reading" pull down on all book pages if you want anyone here to see what you are reading when they click on the "Members" link off to the right, I never messed with it much but I will try to be more aware of it in the future.

I got to figure out how you add pictures also but i hope we don't start the horrible overuse of GIFs I see in a lot of the reviews here.

Hence the need to find a good place in time to read it :) I can say even though almost nothing has happened the first 5% of book 1 has been entertaining but good writing can do that ..

I decided I have enough time before my next review book to tackle The Red Queen's War about 1300 pages of what I hope is close to the quality of The Broken Empire

(Just realized I got to remember to use the "REPLY" below the post and not above it :)

I have finished all the Age of Magic books (there are 3 series now) except for the newest series Shades of Light: Age Of Magic - A Kurtherian Gambit Series since I already have invested time in so many of these series I did not need another one unless it looks to be exceptional, the synopsis did not WOW me. The Awakened: Age Of Expansion - A Kurtherian Gambit Series is about as good as the original series and I can't wait. He said he is going to end up the original series (2 more books) and the Michael series (1 more book) about the same time and start them off in a new series.

There do seem to be a lot of positive reasons to have a forum here

Silver Silence was great, not many series can have this many books and still have the quality of stories hers do but I would hate to try to pick it up without having read at least most if not all of the previous books

That was my thinking, you can do everything we do at Amazon and more, takes a small learning curve to tweak things (like finding the link to send me emails instantly when somebody posts.) Don't want to shut down our Amazon forum but Amazon does not seem to care much and the bot they use for deleting posts for G level language is ridiculous. I would lose my troll/stalker who loved to down-vote my posts anonymously but we all have to sacrifice LOL

This was kind of a test in case we get deleted off of Amazon, but I giving thought to starting a group here just to see if there are some other folks out there that can't find a decent group to join .... still thinking that over, not like I need something esle to eat up my time LOL

Well my reading addiction for this week has been the Age of Expansion series (on book 2 now) Awakened: Age Of Expansion - A Kurtherian Gambit Series and loving it

Well still playing around with this creation of a discussion group here on Goodreads, there are some advantages over Facebook and Amazon but not sure what the downside of this may be
