It is one of the ones I was considering for Jan! So I have it in my audible account - will be interested in how you find it

The ones I have in audible are freebies I'm not sure I'm in the mood for! :o
Need to check out the library

I watched the original and loved it (as I did the book). I'm not sure about the US version. I guess I will watch it at some point when it moves to a streaming service... to me the benefit in changing his name to Otto means that I may just be able to watch it believing it is a different story rather than an American version of the same story :o

They were both great but for very different reasons!!

haha!
We shall have this conversation again in 3 years then? ... lol!

Skyward is on my list 😬

And ok, sounds like I need to just get into Warbreaker! … I just remembered I own it on audible 🤦‍♀️

I started on audio and had to go back and listen to a few bits again, and ended up then going to the Kindle version to make sure I was understanding the characters and what was going on. lol!!
Now I'm in chapter 3 it is all making sense and I am enjoying it so far

I *loved*

Closely followed by the Mistborn series (although I've only read the first 3 which is it's own trilogy ; haven't started the next ones yet)


His YA series is quite fun

loved it! Only just misses out on 5 stars for me."

Ah. 😬It’s been on my list for so long. May become a UNO book as I have a yellow cover version

Great, thanks :)

Has reminded me I need to continue it though ... I'm up to book 4... another book added to my tbr... haha

I've never even heard of Murderbot..."

I'm pretty sure Melindam got me onto Murderbot. I would never have picked them up otherwise. I quite enjoyed the series!

I've never read them or watched the show, but you have be interested now!

I feel like we have the same tbr! lol

I'm also about there with Warbreaker. But I do love Sanderson, I just never get into the mood for it.
Pillars of the Earth I absolutely couldn't keep going. haha
Name of the Wind is still on my list, and even on my audible. This is the year!!
And I do enjoy Kate Morton, but that one is not her best

Sammy wrote: "#19

I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this one. thought it would be more of a slog, but I was unexpectedly invested."

It is a strange one! I remember the violence and abuse being really off-putting.
Convenience Store Woman was an unexpected gem if you want to add to your list. haha

😆😆

Haha!
Oh I’m tempted though. Did love those books

lol

Haha
Gtk!
