That's why we did it as our Weighty Tome in 2024 and we managed to finish the series! https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Way of Kings is very different. I love all of Sanderson's stuff, but the YA books are very different. Way of Kings is classic high fantasy

35559 Thank you ☺️ I did have to go in later and change the date. So annoying

35559 GR is driving me nuts this morning. I can’t mark a book as read on the desktop and in the app it tells me I can’t use a read date in the future 😤
Hopefully I have managed to at least mark it as read and will change the date later once the US time catches up with me if I need to

Wow that sounds like a lot especially right before the holidays! I hope it is sorted soon and yes I agree that being grateful for what we take for granted is important too.
It was 41c here yesterday and I was very grateful for living somewhere with consistent electricity!

haha indeed

and just... wow. They are basically taking away the social aspect of goodreads. perhaps the plan is to just roll it into Amazon and ditch the whole thing

35559 I’m in and will be back to update my post!

35559 Sounds like a great book to read with your son!

35559 It is hilarious. Sometimes you laugh at the book, and sometimes with it. .🤣 was a good switch from the other books I've been reading!

35559 Woohoo!
Gosh those first 3 rounds went fast!

So I finished
Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animal by Meghan Quinn

It is an absolute hoot! If you don't mind swearing and things getting spicy (only towards the end and maybe 3 or 4 scenes) I absolutely recommend this. It had me laughing out loud - in public because I couldn't contain it - so many times.
