      I read this forever ago and grabbed the sequel, this book is full of spiders. Didn’t know he kept going with it. I’ll have to grab the others.

      Love this one! His Zoe Ashe series is really good too. He writes under Jason Pargin now if anyone searches for his newer stuff

    The Latehomecomer.

    It’s a memoir about a woman who was born in a Thai refugee camp during the Secret War who immigrated to Minnesota and became an author.

    I highly recommend it. It’s one of my favorites.

    The House of Blades by Will Wight. His writing style is so fast-paced and the action scenes are a lot like Mistborn’s. Wight also happens to work with the same enthusiasm as Sanderson and has about 26 books written since 2011. All of his books also happen to take place across parallel realities called “Iterations” with different magic systems all using similar underlying principles. I’m still early on in his bibliography but I’ve been enjoying it a lot so far.

      I loved Cradle and The Last Horizon series. This one was good but I liked those two much more.

      Hey me too! When I read a long series I try to read something else in between, but I’m excited to continue with Foundation’s Edge

    Cover of the collection of German poems called "Der Ewige Brunnen"

    I don’t know if this counts because it is a collection of poems, but it is nice to read from it before going to bed

      Miss so much reading to my kids, different happy times now but still miss that. They love books because we put the time to read them and they saw us reading, all winning all around.

        Indeed! Proud of my little one, she doesn’t know how to read yet, but she’ll still grab as many books as she can carry to her bed and flip through them all 😅

        It’s a good read, the author goes into great detail about the dietary needs of giant flying lizards, and about the toxicity of hot sauce on their biology.

    I just finished The Lamb Will Slaughter The Lion, a queer anarchist horror novella about a trans travelpunk hunting a demon with a group of anarchists whose commune is about to go to shit. It’s a pretty fun read, I am looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.

      I enjoyed this and the sequel “The Barrow Will send what it May.”

      And everything else the author has written.

        I do plan to read that one and “the immortal choir holds every voice” as well, but it seems to not be available from their site or patreon so I requested both it and the sapling cage from my local bookshop and am currently waiting on that
